Ok, so I'll confess that I'm on the fence on the subject of puns. Sometimes, I LOVE a good pun (or a bad one, depending on your POV) and others I can take it/leave it.

That said, I know there is a rich tradition of puns in gaming (tabletop/video/MMO/etc) and I'd like to hear everyone ring in with their favorite/least favorite/most godsawful puns.

With that said, I'll share one that has very little to do with gaming, but came up during a Shadowrun v1 game that I ran a very very long time ago.

<begin pun>

Now you may or may not be familiar with the concept of "Blue Ice", but the fact of the matter is that it sometimes happens.

Moreover, sometimes it's lethal. Imagine, if you will, a piece of this blue discharge hurtling down from flight altitudes and striking a hapless individual. One day, it happened. Crashed through a person's roof, slamming into them and rendering them VERY dead.

When the CSI was done and the cause of death was declared, the detective in charge wrote it off as "Cause of death = Icy BM"

</pun>

A pun is a rare medium well done.

The icy bm line was from one of Spider Robinson's Callahan books from the 70s, but I do approve of CSI for having the good (or bad) taste to steal it.

Oops! Just realized that wasn't supposed to be from CSI..

Wait, so it's a good thing that I'm a bad American? I guess that makes me an Ex-patriot.

Don't mind Sebastian; he loves to plow into a thread to nag and complain until he's hoarse... shoe, pony-boy, shoe!
