And what a fine PUNishment it was, too! :)
Julia
The original punishment was a bunch of clippings From The Kidding Stays in
the Tytlal, which is in line for a second review on Critters. Those puns were:
For the Ahp'Churezz have a tail full of sound, and
furry,
signifying nyucking
-
Now as to Kidding Stays in the Tytlal.
6 critiques, . 5 said too long. One said full novel.
So I cut to 12,600, but then added in Dr. Lao notes
to bring it
back to 14.500.
Notes such as:
Fagen. Kanten. Fully described by name in
_Sundiver_. Fully
described by race in _Contacting Aliens_. Now
jingles at the
mention of Mi'nami's name. Later on participated
in a Tytlal
scam to get Pila Librarians to look up references to
vegetable
albinoism, supposedly to see if the Kanten could
create a
walking cauliflower to go with the broccoli.
-Entertainers, authors, poets, and real people
mentioned:
Abbott and Costello. Steve Allen. [Is it bigger
than a
breadbox?] Tex Avery. Henri Bergson. Lewis
Carroll.
Karl von Clausewitz. Erich von Daniken. Charles
Darwin.
Bette Davis. [ What an info-dump. ] John Foster
Dulles.
Elvis. Sally Fields. Jose Jimenez. Rudyard Kipling.
Laurel
and Hardy. Bulwer-Lytton. Teddy Roosevelt. William
Shakespeare. The Three Stooges. Thornton Niven
Wilder.
-Legends:
Santa Claus. Jacob Demwa. Elvis. Progenitors.
The original pun:
Politics may be a contribution of deception by
otter means.
It's now lost in the sea of bad phrases, as the
tytlal sold the
synthian an altered book of Anglic phrases.
you don't want to offer the flying Pan into your
foyer.
When you got it, flatulent it, baby
Killing two bards with one stein.
Tiny Tim waits for no Man of La Mancha
Never Portnoy tomorrow what you Candide today.
