Hi Daryl!
DS> I hadn't seen any emails from you in a few days...glad to see
DS> posts from you here.
Have been replying; there have been a couple of days when nothing to me
and so nothing to reply to; will scan though others and occasionally
comment.
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.
DS> I didn't know how that was spelled, but I believe it's French.
I don't know the origin but with the accent mark would tend to be a possibility.
Your spelling made sense and there is a colour 'mauve' so
was thinking maybe a word I hadn't heard of.
BM> These puns are killing me! ...Wonder if they're classified as a pre-
BM> existing condition?!
DS> I doubt it was held this past year, due to COVID-19. But, in
DS> previous years, in late April or early May, was the World
DS> Championship Pun-Off in Austin, Texas, to benefit the O. Henry
DS> Museum.
Now why is the pun contest benefiting a candy bar?!
DS> The humor was drier than the Sahara...and there were 2
DS> categories, for the gluttons for pun-ishment. <G>
(Hang on folks: it's going to get worse!)
DS> 1) Punniest Of Show - you do a story or joke, full of puns, or
DS> with a big one at the end. It's best to deliver it in 60 seconds
DS> or less, as at 90 seconds, a bell rings, and points start getting deducted.
DS> At 2 minutes, a second bell rings, and you're
DS> disqualified. Tiffany Wimberly, originally from northwest
DS> Arkansas, lives in the Florida Panhandle with her husband (last I
DS> heard). We joked if she lost, she'd be in a tiff. <G> But, one
DS> year, she won it all with Ra-Pun-Zel.
Then she might try poetry:
There once was a gal named Tiffany Winberly
Who went by the nickname Tiff.
Her husband's name was Last I Heard
But Tiff didn't want to be Heard.
Well at least I didn't get the two minute bell!
DS> 2) High Lies And Low Puns - there are several categories, and you
DS> know what categories might be chosen. But, until you and another
DS> punster get on stage in head to head compuntition (pun intended),
DS> you don't know what the category will be. You have 5 seconds to
DS> make a pun, then it goes to your rival, who has likewise. You
DS> can't use the same pun twice, and the one who fails to make a pun
DS> in 5 seconds, is disqualified.
Fast thinking needed!! A quick quip.
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.
DS> I thought you were, having not seen any emails from you for a
DS> few days.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder?
