Hate me, if you will

I have to get this out there.

One of my players was looking over my shoulder at the book I was reading.
He asked what that frogman creature was in the picture.
I said, "They're called grippli's, believe it or not."

There was discussion of stringing me up.

[Ruzza]

Boo this man!

[Reckless]

Someone point Sebastian over here so he can be put on the list.

[Payton Smith]

BOOOOOOOOOO!

Alex, I'll take 1920's comic strips for $800...

[Darigaaz the Igniter]

I award thee with 1 (one) internet cookie.

[jdripley]

I approve! Heartily!

[Ravingdork]

I don't get it.

[Fumarole]

The greatness of a pun is inversely proportional to its tolerability.

Now I need to have a traveling side show with a Grippli barker in my next game.....

[Mechagamera]

If you can do a good Jack Palance impersonation, that would be icing on the cake.

One of the games I was playing we were warned that an ogre was leading a terrible band of goblins between towns. We came across the ogre who proceeded call his band out 2 lute players, 1 with a drum, and a pair with flutes. No ranks in perform.......they were terrible.

Oh yes, this is fantastic. I'm convincing my DM to have this come up in Extinction Curse somehow, lol.

One evening, I had sketched out the rough shape of a dungeon room in a cave when one of my players pointed out that it looked like a dolphin.

I told him I didn't do it on porpoise.

I regret nothing.

[Nightfox]

You sir, are my Hero Punster

[Zaister]

I still don't get it.

Ah. Hm. Well.

Well, the great thing about the internet is, folks can throw boos and insults, but they can't throw tomatoes.
I liked the un-bear-able puns guy.

For Americans of my advanced age, the reference is very recognizable.

[Zaister]

Well as a non-American, also of a certain advanced age, this is the first time I've heard of the reference.

They have museums in other countries: Shanghai-China, Bangalore-India, Jeju Island-South Korea, Pattaya-Thailand, Copenhagen-Denmark, Amsterdam-Netherlands, Blackpool-United Kingdom, Cavendish/Prince Edward Island-Canada, Niagara Falls/Ontario-Canada, Toronto/Ontario-Canada, Guadalajara-Mexico, Mexico City-Mexico, Gold Coast-Australia.

They also made two adaptation for the Philippines and the current show can be seen internationally. Also the comic strip is seen in 42 countries* in those countries newspapers. Americans might have a better recognition of it, but they have made quite an effort to be known internationally. ;)

I actually didn't get the pun until I said it out loud, which seems to often be the case with me. Anyone else?
