Post Race!

I went to University in Sheffield and i could say the exact opposite, great place to socialise, but no jobs !!

I've seen The Full Monty and I know for a fact there's money to be made by a good looking fella who's ready to take his kit off.

Wasn't it the less then creative British settlers that picked those boring names?

Well... yeah... but those settlers did go on to become less than creative Americans.

How do you Brits pronounce the place name Worchester?

I think you mean Worcestershire (like the sauce) and we pronounce is Woost-a-sheer. There's no good reason for us to do this except that it confuses Americans and we find that funny

If you want a really confusing time, check out the pronunciation of Welsh or Cornish place names.

[dday9]

Try pronouncing Norwegian names...

Flekkefjord
Stavanger
Kragerø

[Gruff]

Nor(th)wegians. Them Wegians are a funny people.
Makes you wonder whatever happened to the Sou(th)wegians.

[Shaggy Hiker]

South wegy-ans? I think they got their undies in a bunch and left.

[SJWhiteley]

Andover's just up the road from me. I used to contract for the MOD at the army HQ there. Decent place to work. Socialising... not so much.

and why is 'hants' short for 'Hampshire'?

[FunkyDexter]

Because Foots would have made no sense at all.

Hey Hey Hey, who said they were boring names those names are fantastic which was probably why they were stolen in the first place !!!

Only to true, that film almost exactly reflects reality!!

Surely FD he meant Worcester pronounced "Wuster" - "Worcester is a city and the county town of Worcestershire" or were you just using the county name as an excuse for ridicule ?

[szlamany]

I did have a misspelling - the city in Massachusetts is Worcester - not sure where the "h" came from

There is a Leicester in Massachusetts as well - that also has just two syllables...

[FunkyDexter]

Homer, I'm disappointed in you. Why haven't you posted this one yet

[NeedSomeAnswers]

Any place that has cester or chester or caster in the name is a roman name and essentially just means military camp.

Maybe that why you Americans like those names so much

[Gruff]

And any place that has smoopi or poopi in the name is a jewish name and essentially means "You can't trust a Roman."

[FunkyDexter]

And any place that has ... poopi in the name is a jewish name

I have a Jewish Toilet?! Why am I only learning this now ?!

[Shaggy Hiker]

You named your toilet?

[szlamany]

Only after he got pissed...

[dday9]

Those are some crappy puns.

[FunkyDexter]

You named your toilet?

No, but it has poopi init. (I should probably flush)

[szlamany]

Class-y - I Object!

[Gruff]

Amazing the way puns quickly stoop to the lowest low.
Hopefully it will pass soon.

[FunkyDexter]

Yeah, it's all gone wrong. Quick Let Scat Outta here.

[dday9]

I can't track where this is going.

[dclamp]

Race Track... Post Race

[szlamany]

Trace Rack - Roast Pace...

[dday9]

Mmm toast....

[Shaggy Hiker]

I have birds living in MY toilet. I believe they are a type of pigeon....a stool pigeon.

[szlamany]

It must take a lot of intestinal fortitude to drop nuggets like that

[Gruff]

Do you feed your pigeons? You could pinch off a loaf for them.

[Shaggy Hiker]

They get corn.

[szlamany]

I've seen corn before!

[dday9]

Children of the Corn or Koяn?

[dclamp]

I went through a corn maze in Michigan. It was fun. Thought I was going to be chased by Malachi from Child of the Corn.

[FunkyDexter]

Dog named Trigger shoots Owner

Why isn't Homer posting these? Should we fear for his safety? Has he been abducted?

[szlamany]

Does he have a dog named trigger?

[szlamany]

I avoid SQL triggers - some say I'm gun shy...

[dday9]

Oh shoot, they aren't that bad are they?

[NeedSomeAnswers]

you lot are rifling through these puns so fast i have lost where we are at!

[szlamany]

Full bore or nothing at all!

[dday9]

Be sure you don't jump the gun there steve.

[Gruff]

Cruel and unusual pun-ishment indeed.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Kind of funny that it was the woman who should do the hunter safety course. I do support that, but it seems like the dog should also participate.

I'd get into this gunning for punning, but I'd probably write too much and don't currently feel like firing off epistle.
