      What? It’s a boa, not a cat! Get your facts straight.

    Puns motivate. My coworkers are regularly motivated to throw things at me.

      Putting those dodgeball skills to use, huh?

      Just remember, the ultimate compliment for a pun is lynching.

      Some people prefer more direct methods, like baseball bats.

      Sickest part is how many people are ashamed they understand my (off the wall) references.

      Monday past – re a comment about almost everyone wearing the same outfit – one guy commented he was wearing ‘black on black’. I responded with some of the lyrics to said song by Roxette – He froze with a grimace realizing he knew exactly what I was blithering on about….AND he had the song stuck in his head most of the day.

        Roxette? I know of a Heart song by that title, but not Roxette. Did I miss a release?

          You are decidedly correct according to Google. ALOT of the 80’s new-wave I listen to tends to blur in my memory, and a lot of bands did covers as well. Doesn’t help either that my music tastes are all over the place.

          Roxette, Heart, and Pretenders are a particular trio of bands that I get confused for some reason. Certain songs lock to a band – others blur.

            On the note of songs that have been covered to death; I wonder how Imogene would respond to hearing MxPx’s punk rock version of ‘Oh Donna’.

    Should’a tried strangling him first…that’s what boa constrictors do best.

      You do realize Jones wants him alive, right?

        No problem. Just strangle to unconsciousness and fix his ribs later.

    Now that is a job for Skin Horse. Newspaper comic columnist? Sports announcer?

      Funky autons capable of rhyming feather and boa constrictor. Tip may be in over his head.

        Over his head? Nah. Around his neck? Not even. Tip will find a way to profit from his fight with the boas – and so feather his own nest.

      “Funky Autons” is the name of my new dance craze!

      You can keep your quips and parlays, but just don’t lost that pun.

    Advanced punning regulator: you could get rich selling it to the filk/dementia songwriters.

    Hmm… doesn’t do html tags. Let’s try again:

    *_ADVANCED_* punning regulator?

    … hmmmm… too much. Once more:

    *?advanced?* punning regulator?

    Meh.. that’ll have to do..

      Oh…. improperly closed tag. D’argh.

      “Advanced punning regulator?”

      Needs a preview button….

    I love the concept of feather boa constrictors, especially since they’re clearly controlled by the sub-processor that would have operated the robot’s arms. I’m still amazed that she managed to turn store manikins into rampaging robots that quickly, though.
    The concept of advanced punning regulators is very reminiscent of Interstellar, with variable Humor and Honesty settings on the robots.

    If any of these robot mannequins are anatomically correct, maybe Nick could interface with one…

    [pedant] Main character holds two defeated snaky things, one in each hand…Tip just did the Strong Boy archetypal image. [/pedant]
