Once......
I began a long and slightly whimsical back story. The story concerned a person or place or an object, the name of which sounded a bit like the first part of the title of this weeks QOTW.

As I said, the story was long, it concerned something that was a bit sad, something regarding long lost love or the death of an animal. The story had nothing obviously to do with the title of this weeks QOTW.

Something happened in the story, a clever twist. The twist involved the subject of the story becoming involved with something which a good thesaurus would tell you was a synonym for somthing which sounded a lot like the second part of the title of this weeks QOTW.

The story gradually built to a hot, sweaty, writhing climax, in order to give those that like to read the lunchtime erotica a reason to continue to the bottom of my convoluted tale.

At this point the tale seemingly ended, without an obvious conclusion.

And below this apparent cop out I inserted a sentence which includes the subject of the story (which as we know sounded like the first part of the QOTW title) and the synonym for whatever the subject was involved in (which as we now know sounds almost identical to the second part of the QOTW title).

At this point you all realise that the preable was simply a cunning ploy to get you to read my story thinking it was genuine, when in fact I was simply trying my best to amuse you all with a bad pun of my own.

As you chuckle out loud/groan with barely disguised disgust, your eyes flicker downwards to a brief line extoling the length of my penis in a way which makes it seem like i'm sorry for taking up so much of your lunch hour.

At this point you think "that was worth a click" and do so, maybe even adding a reply which indicates that you got my pun, possibly adding another, potentially funnier one.

Thank the lord for Postmodernism.

@Chickenlady...
I hope you didn't mean that. Postmodernism must be killed with hammers.

If you want a catchy campaign tag, how does "NoPoMo" strike you?.

postmodern?
I wasn't going for postmodern.

I just wanted to join in and the only pun I could think of was Mick's Tapas. And I didn't think it would be very funny.

Baudrillard
He's useful if by "useful" you mean "a charlatan".

*laughs at Crackhouse for laughing*
*realises that that kind of multilayered laughter is quite PoMo in its own right*
*feels unclean*
