Oh God....
Puns...

Between myself and some of my friends we have developed something of an unhealthy obsession with puns, and are regularly found literally wasting hours sitting in total silence playing "the pun game".

There are only a few simple rules.

1. You can't decide to play the pun game. It has to happen naturally. See rule 2.

2. Puns must be based around an organic subject. For example, you can't say "let's think of puns about fishing". More often than not, the game is started by a conversation topic veering into another conversation topic, and the unlikely scenario that would be created by combining the two.

The problem is, the game never seems to be over until EVERY POSSIBLE PUN has been wrung out of said situation.

So, with this in mind, you can understand how four of us sat from about 8pm till 4am doing nothing else except coming up with puns. Well, maybe you can't understand it. I wouldn't blame you.

This is how we ended up with these choice selections:

On the topic of wrestlers who had been in films -

Hulk Hogan in "Das Big Boot"

Shawn Michaels in "The Sound Of Sweet Chin Music"

as well as the not-very-punlike-but-still-rather-amusing image of The T1000 being played by one of the Bushwhackers.

On the subject of a Nazi themed buffet -

"Burger and Belsen"

"Luftwaffles"

"Panzerfeast"

And so on...

God only knows how many hours of my life I have lost, sitting totally in silence in a pub trying to think of a pun to beat all puns.

The amusing part is, people often look at us sitting in stony silence and think we're being really contemplative and deep in thought, as though we were philosophers or artists or something, only for the silence to be broken by one of us shouting "Luftwaffles!" and the rest of us falling about laughing.

The other game we seem to play a lot is replacing a word in an album title with the word "soup".

Such as "Appetite For Soup", "The Dark Side Of The Soup", "A Vulgar Display Of Soup"... Oh God, it never ends...

Nazi Themed Restaurant
how about "Gestapo Soup"?

Me and a few friends had an idea of creating a Terrorist-esque themed restaurant chain with the following delights on the menu:

Jalalabread
Spaghetti Car-bomb-ara
Suic-iced Tea
Helmand's Mayonnaise
Lemon "kurd"
Salad with thousand virgin dressing

Along with the reminder: "make sure you've Jihad your 5 a day" (well teenage obesity is on the rise you know!!)
