You can try and spin it any way you like. I think it's a top definition.
Lepton his own, I'm sure Halfmooner would've come to the same conclusion eventually. Still, he does seem to enjoy a strong interaction with his readers, which always adds some flavour to the discussion.

Is quarky a pun there (should be quirky) or were you just trying to to force that in there? LOL
I love the definition Half. In fact, the next time I use a pun that begets a silent room I'll just say, "A wise man once said that puns exist in a quasi-determined state, and you guys were just using the wrong equiptment to get 'funny' results." Because it is always the audiences fault when they get unfunny read outs. |
Facts! Pssh, you can prove anything even remotely true with facts.

Marge: Well... um.... [goes outside to jump on tampoline with Homer.] |

Now, this is more like it. I can sit back and let you guys make the funnies. You're better at it than I am, anyway, especially while my slutty Muse is out whoring around with other people. (But she'll be back, a little hung-over and worse for wear. I always forgive and try to forget.)

It seems as though you're just stringing us along, Ricky. Tell is what's really on your brane. |

I too, love a good, and even a bad pun, as do many of us. It's a funny thing, though, sometimes I can fire them off one after another, and other times I just pundit.
