Mail to the Chief

A friend's mother sends in a piece of fan-mail. You may need to read between the lines:

Dear Michelle,

I’m Gabe's mother and a lifelong pun aficionado. I think puns are the highest form of humor. I wrote a term paper in college all in puns.

As Gabe’s Ma, you know I appreciate smart humor, and I find your pun blog is simply Ma-velous.

You now have a place of honor on my Favorites toolbar....where I go everyday at cocktail hour for a screwdriver.

Add me to your list of fans....and believe me, I’m no blowhard.

Keep on keeping on,
Julie L.


What follows is my response letter, with Mrs. L's second e-mail back in CAPS:

Dear Mrs. L,

Thank you so much for writing!! I had to pull out my Lil' Orphan Annie decoder ring to try to catch all of the hidden meanings and word play, and like a three-year-old in a fireworks shop, had a blast.

I’M GLAD MY ATTEMPTS AT HUMOR DIDN’T BOMB.

I highly encourage you to take part in our very "active" comments section. If you choose not to comment, that's fine... the site will continue wit or wit-out you... day and night, rain or shine, weather you like it or not.

I DID POST A COMMENT ALTHOUGH AFTER SO MANY OF YOUR GOOD PUNS, IT WAS SOMEWHAT OF AN ANTI-CLIMATES.

So grab the bull by the horns and steer us in the right direction!

PARTICIPATING IS CALF THE FUN!

Thanks again,
Michelle

What the--?!! Das Spunkin Bullshit!

Some of our readers (once again, thanks to all 6 of you) may have noticed one of the most belligerent commenters in Punrise, Punset history. His name is Das Spunken. And here is his story:
Hi I just wanted to say how poor your blog is. I have featured it on my site http://dasspunken.blogspot.com/.
His site goes on to call our beloved Punrise an "exceedingly piss poor excuse for prose."

To us, this sounded like the perfect opportunity to take advantage of "Das Spunken"...the only way we know how...
