Yes, good spelling.Report
Are you drunk?
Too much Chinese food today?Report
It used to be easy; I’d just check the nets on the trawlers but then the regulations were changed and dolphins don’t get swept up in tuna nets anymore. Canned tuna doesn’t have that je ne sais Flipper flavor that it used to have either. Thanks a lot liberals.Report
And then I looked at the SunMaid corporation for their famous raisin detre.Report
Porn for the really desperate?Report
I look here:

@saul-degraw, the fact that you need to be of age to look at the website of a beer company is pathetic. What are people worried about, that kids would get drunk by reading about beer?Report
@leeesq
Did I create the website? Did I make the rules?Report
I am not accusing you of making the website. I am just making an observation about American puritanical beliefs towards alcohol.Report
We don’t let children watch Showgirls either.
And they’re the ones that need to the most.Report
@leeesq – I dunno, @saul-degraw answered a question with more questions – sounds evasive to me.Report
Save the whales: eat the dolphins first.Report
Any more puns like that and I’ll have to issue a cetacean.Report
Don’t worry, I’m pretty sure this post was just a fluke.Report
Careful… Last person to call Saul’s bluff was left floundering…

If you consider ‘ersatz Statler and Waldorf’ a “cool club”, then yes.

I fear for the future of this country, when citizens have clearly not been schooled in the basics of Muppetology.Report
Those two were pretty funny and some of the best lines.Report
@notme – for once, we find ourselves in complete agreement. It’s a Christmas miracle!Report
My undergrad mentor had a striking resemblance to Waldorf.Report
This threat has teeth.Report
I found my porpoise in life at the aquarium.Report
And promptly got banned for life.Report
I swear that my intentions are entirely honorable.Report
So there was this zoo keeper who worked at the state caring for an immortal porpoise who only ate sea gulls. Baby sea gulls. One day, the zoo keeper was bringing in a truck load of new food for the porpoise, and he drove ran over a baby lyon. Of course the cops arrested him, chargin him with bring young gulls across state lyons for immortal porpoises.Report
Mann, I knew someone would eventually come up with the whole thing.Report
Lyon?Report
Misthreaded, of course. This goes with zic’s post.Report
ISTR that the reason the lion didn’t get out of the way was that it was sleeping, and the charge involved bringing the gulls across a sedate lion. I think zic’s version is better for having the immortal porpoises though – I can’t remember what the version I’d heard had, but the undying porpoise is better.Report
Actually, the lion was very mature and calm, so the proper charge is transportation across a staid lion.Report
That’s how I heard it too.
The key to telling that kind of joke is to use synonyms until it’s time for the punchline. That way it seems to come completely out of the blue. If you start with “immortal porpoises” (instead of say, “marine mammals that live forever when fed on seabirds”), you’ve telegraphed it.Report
