Barry,
I hadn't seen any emails from you in a few days...glad to see posts
from you here.
DS> Very much so. If you "expose" it too long, part of the design
DS> won't "develop out", and if it's at the wrong angle, a maure'
DS> will occur.
BM> Had and have the moire effect with certain TV scenes -- happened more
BM> with the CRT (glass picture tube) because of lower resolution and the
BM> screen to help keep the display sharp would vibrate slightly.
I didn't know how that was spelled, but I believe it's French.
BM> These puns are killing me! ...Wpnder if they're classified as a pre-
BM> existing condition?!
I doubt it was held this past year, due to COVID-19. But, in previous
years, in late April or early May, was the World Championship Pun-Off in Austin,
Texas, to benefit the O. Henry Museum.
The humor was drier than the Sahara...and there were 2 categories, for
the gluttons for pun-ishment. <G>
1) Punniest Of Show - you do a story or joke, full of puns, or with a
big one at the end. It's best to deliver it in 60 seconds or less, as
at 90 seconds, a bell rings, and points start getting deducted. At 2
minutes, a second bell rings, and you're disqualified. Tiffany Wimberly,
originally from northwest Arkansas, lives in the Florida Panhandle with
her husband (last I heard). We joked if she lost, she'd be in a tiff. <G>
But, one year, she won it all with Ra-Pun-Zel.
2) High Lies And Low Puns - there are several categories, and you know
what categories might be chosen. But, until you and another punster get
on stage in head to head compuntition (pun intended), you don't know
what the category will be. You have 5 seconds to make a pun, then it
goes to your rival, who has likewise. You can't use the same pun twice,
and the one who fails to make a pun in 5 seconds, is disqualified.
BM> ... Odd Pick-Up Line: Do you have any raisins? No? How about a date?
DS> How about this??
DS> ... I have 365 dates a year...from the calendar on the wall.
BM> You are a busy man.
I thought you were, having not seen any emails from you for a few days.
