Ok, so it's been a month and I need to get on here to vent some anger and insanity...
No experimental-shit this time (maybe later?), just stuff that is kind of understandable.
First of all, today is the 17th of May - Norwegian Independence Day - so gratulerer to all the Norskys... That gets that out of the way.
Next is that I have been thinking recently (shock horror!) Why do we use the word 'Pun'?
I ask this because, to me, it's blatantly obvious that we should rename this term as 'Pow.' 'Pun' is just silly. It looks as though someone was meant to type 'Fun' but the ink smeared, it's a half-arsed word. Of course, the three-letter idea is good because it makes it short and snappy, which suits the meaning of the word well, but 'Pun'? Really? It's not something you want to shout out about.
'Pow' on the other hand, sounds awesome! You see it in comic books all the time when someone gets a knuckle sandwich - automatically giving the word some 'oomph'. It's also a very cool thing to shout, "Ohhhh, screw you! I just made a POW!" There's no doubt about it, that is more suitable and great sounding than 'Pun' times tenfold.
But sounding awesome isn't the only up-side, think about it... A 'Pun' is a 'Play On Words?'... Got it yet? No - Keep going! Yes - Read on, my intelligent friend!
What a blasting good acronym we have here! Why has no one thought of it before?! This quite obviously shows that I am, in fact, a genius.
From now on, all Doodlies should use 'Pows' to show off their intelligence!
Right, I've got to go and get hold of the Oxford English Dictionary people now...
