I have the oddest dreams. This time I dreamed I was inside a role-playing game with Jose Feliciano. He and I were wandering through a maze when suddenly we were confronted by a monster.

Part of the game was to ask questions, so I said to the monster, "What are you?"

"You dumbo," he snarled, "can't you see I am a wight of large proportions. I have a very bad attitude and I am not afraid to use it."

"Are you a free-lancer?" I asked.

"The wight sneered at me. "I am in the service of the Godfather, Don Corleone, and there are dozens more like me behind me."

Not being able to see because of his bulk, I turned to my friend and asked, "Jose, can you see by the Don's surly wight?"

I had a dream about Ceres because she's the most gorgeous goddess of all. I'd really like Da meet 'er.

Edit: Greek mythology puns are obscure.


Some people say camping is boring. I say it's in tents.

I think the correct pronunciation is DEM-i-turr, actually... but I've heard it pronounced the other way enough so I figured people would understand.

Greek mythology puns are not obscure!

As FATES would have it, this GRACES me with a chance to refute the idea that such puns are obscure. Give MELITE beers and I will DOTO this subject a PROTO-typical erudition ATROPOS of nothing.

IO ZEUS an explanation, THETIS if you will let me poke STYX into your charge of ocscurity. I ARTEMIS only a few bet thereis a REIA hope that I'll play the CALLIOPE for HOURS, as I could GORGON making puns until DAWN. Its a SKYLLA been working on for eons, though some people will PAN my attempts. ERATO be an end to this even if the story's made out of whole CLOTHO so I'll stop now lest URANIA on my parade.

Some people think bad puns are funny forever, I think once is too much.

That's terribly awesome. Or awesomely terrible - I haven't decided which. Well done.
