Tubalcain2 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I've modified a well known mark twain quote to fit blacksmithing. July is one of the best months to buy another anvil, the others being January, March, April, May, June, August, September, October, November and December.

Littleblacksmith Naw LBS I wouldn't look down on you unless I'm taller and we met face to face. About puns; if you have to explain it either you're talking to the wrong person OR you should find a different sort of humor to practice. That's just advice for a new practitioner we all have to start somewhere. Puns require practitioners to free associate what we hear and see to make connections to things other than the original intent. The wilder the second meaning(s) are the better and if they maintaining a relation to the original meaning better yet. The more people throwing things at and calling you names the higher the praise. Well success, depends on the gathering. In the old artmetal. list we used to throw stinky cybersocks if a pun curdled enough folks sensibilities but that's the whey we played. <sigh> Folk often think punsters are practicing a low form of humor with no practical purposes. Then the very same folk celebrate people who "think out of the box" in other words folk who find unexpected connections. Problems are nothing more than situations looking for the right pun. Glenn: Now that you bring it up does that mean any product that says gluten free actually HAS gluten? Wow, it's EVERYWHERE! Good thing I like gluten. I wonder if gluten is better than glu9 or glu11? How many glus are there? Who here is good at grant writing? I smell a HUGE government research project all we need is funding and a state of the art facility. Who wants to be a Gluologist? It's an unlimited field literally a Glugolplex of possibilities in Gluological research. Quick enroll in the Frosty's online institute for Gluological Research, College, University! Hurry classes will fill up quickly, tuition is reasonable financing available here. 2 year bach, 4 year masters, 8 year, 12 year and 24 year doctorate programs available. Quick now, while there's still room! Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McPherson Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Count me in. I love big glutes and I can not lie! Yoga pants at a college are the best part of the 21st century. But my wife says if I do study a broad, I will earn my bachelors by giving her half of everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-1ToolSteel Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 First attempt at writing a limerick. There once was a fellow from Danville Who struggled to carry his anvil It fell on his toe And made his toe grow Until all that would fit was a sandal!

Nobody Special Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 The worse they are, eh? There once was a blacksmith quite soused, no?

Nobody Special Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 You just beat me to the pun... A young hobbiest filled with delight, Brought an ASO home one dark night, "Hey that's not what it seems, Don't you see this here seam? Cast iron and you can't make it Wright." There was a young girl with a swage, Who had all the young smiths in a rage, Until the day she was seen, Discussing one's peen, Story short, they now are engaged.
