You can make them more presentable by tartan them up.

It was from a game, basically "pin the tail on the donkey." It was "tape the kilt on the Scotsman, though." I ended up putting it on his ankle! I think a kilt on each ankle would be pretty cool - new fashion instead of bell bottoms!

As for puns, I have the BEST pun ever, but you have to know technical terms about the Christan fish and Swedish/Norwegian/ (thus, unfortunately sometimes) Lutheran cuisine.

I know an absolutely filthy pun in French. Only works in French though.

Does the pun involve a pullover, perchance?

[SM] Indeed :)

My pun does not involve a pullover and is in English. I might be able to read the French one, might not. I need to brush up on my French.

[Phil] So it's not the one about the vicar, the bicycle and the scouring powder?

I don't know if a technical issue with my hosts has affected this site but if you have noticed any outages it's due to "severe flapping of HSRP on customer vlans". I thought I should pass that on.

Huge Sheets of Rubberised Paper.

Surely they shouldn't be sending data around in vans these days.

Highly Spiced Rice Pudding?

[CdM] I read that as 'High Speed Rice Pudding'. The pudding-mistakes compound themselves because I read Rab's post thinking of a Dutch dessert called 'vla' (basically cold custard), and a Limburgse tart called 'vlai'. And I'm bloomin' hungry this morning.

[INJ] Do not underestimate the bandwidth of a transit van full of DAT tapes.

(Packet rate's lousy though.)

[Simons] Reminds me of A Fire Upon the Deep, where the protagonists get transport on a spaceship whose "cargo" is a one-third xor of a one-time pad.

Oh, come on, I know y'all are just PUDDING on a show of your favorite puns!

I read "vla" as "via" and thought of a company called Viasat and thus, thought of pudding being sent through outer space.

[Kag] And what if I gave a tart response denying that claim? ...Oh, bugger.

Well that ended very messily, didn't it? Is anythinjg nice happening this weekend? I have to admit, I'm bored, bored, bored, this weekend and not even entertained by the thought that I can actually hang washing outside today. Roll on work on Monday.

[pen] No work for me for quite a while, either domestic or paid; I'll be lucky to know what day it is. But anyway, people visiting, catching up on reading, and finishing decorating my crutches.
