I've mentioned here before that the house we just bought came with a big fish tank containing several fishes. Knowing that as well as my tendency to do strange things on accident, how long do you think we were in the house before I accidentally swallowed a mouthful of water from the fish tank?
If you guessed 2 and a half weeks, you win! If you happened to be the person swallowing nasty fish tank water (ie, me), you lose!
In my own defense, it's not like I dunked my head in there and started gulping. We were trying to switch the water out, and I tried a little too hard to start siphoning the existing water. It's been about a day now and I can say with 70% certainty that I don't have fish-borne AIDS. Aquatic scurvy is still a definite maybe, however.
A few people have asked how we did at the Pun Off this weekend. Before I tell you, I'll say that Zyvarb and I consider ourselves to be the people's champs. We don't need some group of judges from the punning establishment telling us that we're awesome; all we need to hear are the wild and deranged cheers of our fans.
Is it any surprise then that the judges did not look upon us favorably? Of course not. We ended up with, out of four scores of ten possible points each, scores of 7, 7, 7, and 8.
I think an asterisk goes along with those scores, though. As you saw in the video from Monday, we were talking about cars and Star Wars. The girl who went right before us happened to win first prize in the contest. What did she talk about? Cars and Star Wars. I am serious: her whole routine was about cars, and she did touch on Star Wars. It was... a little strange.
Since there was this serendipitous, simultaneous discovery of cars/Star Wars puns by two different contestants, I only think it's fair that we share our scores. I believe, and someone verify the math here, this means the Pith Lords get to share first place. Tyranny of the Pun Off voting, consider yourself subverted.
