Hi folks!I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend and are enjoying this lovely Sunday. Well it's Simone time again.This is something I've always wanted to do...Visual Puns/Wordplay.What that means is,an image that somehow is a play on words...for instance,a shot of a clock in midair could be 'time flies'...or a bunch of grapes next to a wine bottle could be 'Grape Expectations'...the word 'Hi' written on a hog is 'Hi on the hog',etc... It was Richard,(Onslow) who gave me the idea for this with his wonderful and witty image,'Alexander the Grape',that I have linked to. For more inspiration you can also check out ...http://www.badpuns.com/ Any way,hope you have fun with this.I'm not going to tell y'all what my pun is.I think it would also be fun to guess what it is!It should be pretty easy.(Sorry it's not nearly as good a pic as I'd like but I wanted to get something up here before Sunday was over,lol.) Looking forward to seeing what you all come up with! ___________________________________________________________ "Why isn't 'phonetic' spelled like it sounds?"

Dropped out of the ivy league????? This is going to be a tough one... Thinking cap has to come on now.

Sigh....the forum really is slow huh? I guess i cant wait forever for someone to reply then...therefor i guess ill be the next Simon. :b_overwhelmed: Oh well...so be it, LOL. Love your shot Marlene!!! Its really gorgeous!!!! I dont know what the pun is though....but that doesnt come as a surprise however....i suck at puns. :bored: LOL. So this is my attempt......a Brief-case... :tt2: Goodnight everyone!!!!! P.S. Love your signature Marlene!!! LMAO!!!!

Actually,mine's 'Ivy drips'...as in 'IV Drips'...sigh...lol. Thanks guys.And especially you,Gommie.I know how much you hate starting a simon!This was a real sacrifice on your part!!! _______________________________________________ "My software never has bugs,it just develops random features."

OK this is lame, but might work. How about "Be on Guard". The turtles guard? See lame. But who cares. OK Love that then IV drips..hehe. LMAO at the brief case....perfect.

LOL!Great shot Doug!And it's not lame at all.I can't bee-lieve,(sigh) you caught a bee hitching a ride like that.Hmmm...could also be,'Shell bee back' or 'Bee back later'...now THOSE are lame! ___________________________________________________ "If you're going to try cross-country skiing,start with a small country."

OK, now I won't feel so bad posting this.(grins) (title of a song)...sorta.

OK,OK....you light up my leaf.

LOL!!!!Very funny!!!I was soooo totally on the wrong track...I haven't heard that song in years!Thanks ICM,(sorry don't know your name). :^) Oh,and I thought of another one for Doug's...it's the new 'Shelby',(Shell-bee)...much slower but better for the environment,lol. ;^). _________________________________________________ "A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but you mean your mother."

O0o0ooooo perfect...Marlene you mean slower than the turtle LOL I'll bee shelling this old jalopy, if it don't get going soon.

(hears a snare drum)...ba da baa...TSSSS. (lol)

Turtle is saying: 'you better beewear!'

LOL at Geert.Good one! Ba daa baa...TSSSS. Lol!!!:laugh: ________________________________________________ "Shouldn't there be a shorter word for 'abbreviation'?"

Andreas, are you saying your britches are like a sack full of kittens? Yikes, I hope not. I should be sent to the punitentiary for saying this lame stuff.

The punitentiary.Clever!Then I'm a lifer,lol. So Tom and Geert...where are yours? Tap.Tap.Tap.(That's my foot,lol). ________________________________________________ "How many narcissists does it take to change a lightbulb?One.He holds the bulb while the whole world spins around him."

Ok Marlene I'll play, had to dig deep into the hard drive and really reach for something here...but here ya go... That's right, a couple of buttheads! I told ya I was reaching..:blink: Great Simon, have a good evening! Aloha!

Butt heads!LOL!Knew you could pull it off,you 'punny' guy!(I will never forget 'Groper',lol)!Thanks for playing Dave. :^D ____________________________________________________ "If at first you don't succeed,then skydiving is definately not for you."

LMAO punny guy.... Good Stuff Dave.

Wow, what a great idea for a Simone Marlene :m_thumbu: , and what neat entries! Unfortunately, mine photo doesn't quite stack up, but it is the best I could manage in what time I have available. I thought of two possible visual puns for this; "Like Mother, Like Daughter" or "Mother Goose". Okay, okay, don't groan TOO loudly. :m_tongue2:

LOL!Aren't they cute!!!Like mother,like daughter...Gosh,I love my mom and all but not sure I'd want that to be true!And what well-attired geese they are.One might even say you've got a pic of a 'spruce' goose there. Ok.Now you can groan at me,lol.Thanks for joining the party,Kortalouche! :^) _________________________________________________ "How many art directors does it take to change a light bulb? -Does it have to be a lightbulb?"

Thanks ...hey, what's with the Art Directors jab?!? :m_redfaced: And why does it have to be a lightbulb??? :m_confused2:

Aw.And I found that one just for you.Okay how about this then... How many narcissists does it take to change a lightbulb? --One and then the rest of the world just spins around him. ;^)

Perfect!

Really creative and great idea love the pics all! this is the only thing i could think of r now - seahorse or hmm i think HORSE_SEA fits better ( horsie) Taken from last summer Michigan carnival street horses i did ...it was a horse( from the little mermaid) by the sea theme and the horse was a mermaid kinda thing ... does it fit ? hope so !!

Sure it fits!Perfectly.And it's wonderful.Could also be a 'horse of a different color'.(Grew up with the Wizard of Oz,obviously,lol). BTW love your avatar,Kimmie.So nice to see you here. :^) _______________________________________________ "I always wanted to be somebody,guess I should've been more specific."

Whew...pardon me! Cool topic Marlene and wicked entries peeps!

I don't care who you are that's damn funny Joe! Cut the cheese, now that's great..I love all the entries good show people! Aloha!

LMAO!I had heard that you replied,Joe...or rather,I got wind of it! Really funny!!!Thanks for joining in. :^) _______________________________________________ "Shouldn't there be a shorter word for monosyllabic?"

Am I too late ............... eeek! This new forum has really messed with that image please click on it to see how it really looks.

Hi Richard.Of course it's not too late.Wonderful to see you here and hoping you're feeling better. Love this shot,(even if the forum 'messed' with it).Okay,I'm guessing the pun is...Has-beens...LOL!!!Very clever!!! _____________________________________________________________ "Why is there an expiration date on sour cream?"

This would be a cool feature to have all the time..Would'nt ya think? Having a lot of fun with this.

That is clever Moonbeam! You could have spilled some beans too...that one is self explanatory! ;] You crack me up Joe :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: .

The can has bean opened. moan

LOL.Good ones,guys. :^)

I've got one,too...Heinz Sight....(Hindsight).......sigh..........I know,groaning for you,lol.

Hmmm.I don't know why I can no longer see your  recent replies,but I can see them on page one...Strange....

"How many feminists doe it take to change a light bulb?
--Ten.One to change it and nine more to form a survivors of darkness support group."

Hey I just found out there is a page 2 - I got e bots and couldn't see any replies.

lol - some good puns there.

I'll let you guys have the fun of clearing up spilled beans though ;)

LOL Too bad your shot didn't come before Joe's.That would've 'bean' appropriate.:tongue2:

lol

 I will go into the garden and collect a few creatures from the earth for a 2nd shot - another day.

Ah,and open a can of worms,perhaps?Lol. :tongue2:

Hmmm,just wondering...when I go to copy and paste my reply here,(I always do that),I get this message about my browser security settings,and that I now need to use keyboard commands.

I don't like keyboard commands.:sad:

I want to use my right click.:crying:

Do any of you have this happening,too,and is there a way to change it back?

Please say yes.:unsure:

"How many sado-masochists does it take to change a light bulb?
--Two.One to change the light bulb and one to kick the chair he's standing on,out from under him."

I don't know if this is related, but I've noticed today that even when I hit the 'return' key, it doesn't seem to have any effect. The test just keep flowing. I have to put a < BR > to get a forced return.

On the upside, my right click to copy text works just fine. :tt2:

Lucky you,lol.

Guess I'll just have to wait and see,then.Maybe someone else will know what's happening.

I noticed that return works and sometimes does'nt.
CTRL V seems the only way to paste. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I want my right click back too.  Wonder if I mess with security settings  what I can come up with..

Yes, the RETURN only works sometimes -- very strange. I am using < BR > for now until you tell me otherwise Doug. Good luck!

Although a new Simon has started already I would like to give this one a try.

Forgotten - Nostalgia - Memories - End of the line .... ? :blink:

"The end of the line' works for me,as it surely is.

This is a rather touching photo...so it's difficult to come up with a clever or humorous quip for it.I'm thinking of something regarding baggage...

Like...baggage I no longer need...Hidden baggage...Old baggage....

I wonder if someone else will come up with something for this.

Thanks for playing along,Carlos.Your photo has a lovely  poetic quality.Boa noite!

"A bird does not sing because he has an answer,he sings because he has a song."

End of the Line - works for me too :)

Brilliant Carlos the shot  illustrates the saying in a unique and novel way.

Superbly done ! As are all the entries in what is quite a challenging simon because it shows to me how much difference there is in all the little nuisances of the languages we use.  English is not the same from one part to another let alone working from a different language. A person living in the North of England would certainly have different puns to someone living in the South  so to do this worldwide is an achievement !

 

 

Very true,Richard.

It is much the same with humor.Something is usually lost in the translation...

I hadn't considered that when I began this Simon.So I am very happy that it had such fun and wonderful responses.

My thanks to all who participated! :^)

"Why is there an expiration date on sour cream?"

I am sorry, little slow sometimes (only sometimes;-) Can I please add another one? Now isn't that a generation Cap?

Please do.

Generation cap!LOL!

It sure is!Good one,Geert.Glad you decided to play. :^)

Thanks  Marlene and Richard, for your kind comments.

This is not an esay Simon(e) but with a little help and encouragement from Marlene I decided to try it.

I did even know what a pun was. :blushing:
Now, I see I could 'get' some 'phrase' that could 'fit' in English :) ......... end of the line :):)

'Playing' in this Simon(e) theme helped me learning some thing more. I am happy for it.
Always learning till the 'end of the line' !!!

Obrigado amiga Marlene ! :rolleyes:

De nada,meu amigo. :^)

(You're welcome my friend.)
