We all know that our dear friend Mightion is the unparalleled master of puns...but how far does his expertise go?

Henceforth, I give him a topic, and see how many puns he can create off of it before he runs out!

Mightion! Your first topic is an easy one: Dragons.

I should flame you for making Mightion scale mountains when he tries to wing it. Clawing your way to punning fame is like finding your way through dark Smaug.

In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Minotaurs? Well, I'm not one to toot my own horn, but I wrote my Theseus on Minotaurs.

I was a-mazed how well it came out, especially when I finished with ten minos remaining.

Yeah, I finished him off when he slipped in some greece, so I titled my report "Crete Expectations."

I told you people.... Might is at least a Minor Diety of Puns, maybe a Major.

I think the poor boy has read one too many Pierce Anthony novels.

Piers Anthony novels, yes, but only the Incarnations and Mode series. I've never read a Xanth novel.

And as for dragons, everyone's used all the ones I could think of, so don't get naggy about it.

Yah, like we're going to believe that! I know you've got more, you're just hording them for later, when your reputation is no longer on the steak (Oh ho!, both pun topics with that one).

Now, that reminds me of a tail I would like to tell, but people yell at me when I sounding a bit long in the tooth. So, I'll cave in to pressure and not tell it, unless someone hatches a petition to make me change my mind.

Well, I gotta stop here. If I'm gonna make it to the Shide-food buffet for lunch, I gotta fly. I shell be back later, though.

I cannot teach him. The boy has no patience.

Punnery does not come from a book, it comes from the heart. Your puns must relate with at most one degree of seperation from your subject; lest it sound forced. Strive for an air of casualness, or subtlety. Except, of course, if the pun is too good to pass up.

"Hatches"? No one mentioned eggs.
"Tail"? Too generic for the subject.
"Steak"? Did I miss an episode?

You may point to my references to the legend of the Minotaur, but this is what I mean by one degree of seperation.

Go, and reflect on your failure.

Now Chalesm, this one has potential.

Geez, if I don't do well, you'll prolly put me in the cast chamber...

Whoa, that one was a stretch. Time to sit for a spell.

Damn. I don't know enough about wizards and mythology to do good wizard puns.

I'll ask the king for help. If he's not there, I'll ask whomever is the reagent.

Didn't wand to rune the thread, though. :/

"Steak"? Did I miss an episode?

You know, maidens tied to stakes, sacrificed to the Dragons in the name of dinner.

Usually I'm better than that, but I was scraping the bottom of the barrel to find ones that hadn't been used yet. That, and the fact that I'm hungry. Guess that kinda explains the "Steak and Eggs" references.

The Minotaur one was very clever, Mightion

I can't believe you've ever read the Xanth novels, though. You would love them.

Chal's was great, and Nith is getting there.

Mightion is still King, though.
