oh man, the cheese thread

 

[fomenter]

cheese puns we  'ed we 'ed we  ,  it had it all..

[Jenne]

See?  It's pure talent.

[Shibboleet The Annihilator]

Well, there's that, but just look at Paul Simon's neck.

He's turning into one of H.P. Lovecraft's fish-men from Innsmouth.

What do you mean "turning"?

You know what happens if you play "You Can Call Me Al" backwards, right?

That's right.  R'ley surfaces and Cthulu eats everyone.

Remember, never go out in the cold with a wet hare. 

my GOD man. does it ever stop?!?! 

How long you been here, Squiddy?  (short answer:  No.) 

RWHN needs a compendium, seriously.  The Bring n Brag fread doesn't catch half of this.  My favorite bits are when it gets contagious or RWHN is gone from the board it and people break out in spontaneous punnage on their own.

I enjoy those as well.  The Cheese thread in particular was epic.  It made me weep a little. 

i remember a longer while ago when we broke into pun-offs so often, people complained about it

[AFK]

Yes, I remember that too.  I've had very few tiffs with people while I've been here but I remember that particular one. 

[Jenne]

Pshaw!  Punnage happens.

The idea behind the Technological Singularity is that once that happens, so much stuff could happen in any given timespan that any kind of meaningful prediction about the future of human affairs becomes impossible.  Once we're in the Singularity, for instance, a wi-fi brain network of students in Argentina on intelligence boosting drugs could produce an entire new field of mathematics while you're sleeping, which is applied by the Berkeley-Microsoft Xbox Live Protein Stability Computation Grid to invent a protein that synthesizes a high-powered fuel out of topsoil and salt water.  Because of advances that make the internet more efficient at circulating useful information, every business-minded biologist in New Euromerica switches on his Synthavirus Gene Lab and transmutes a tub of yeast into a tub full of yeast that makes cheap fuel out of dirt and salt water.  An architect realizes that the aluminum bars in every persons' prefabbed home could now be used as a very powerful railgun, mentions this to an engineering forum, and within an hour the brain network in Argentina (who has now solved mathematics, and is quite bored) comes up with a way to quickly and turn any house into a rail-gun launched spaceship.  By this time P&G has switched from biowarfare to energy production and is making a killing selling 1.2 jigga-amps to every house in the world.  One Hundred and Seventeen, the premier magazine for hip youngsters just out of their first century, runs an article on space fashions mentioning this new development, causing people all over the world people to press the "Reconfigure" button on their houses to convert them into space ships and take off for the moon.  Unfortunately, the Neo-Feynman uses the new math and lucky guesses to crack every encryption algorithm in the world, revealing every deep-cover troll used by the Department of Motor Vehicles, leading Senator Chuck Norris, /b/-Canada, to call for a purge of the hated DMV trolls.  Firefights break out all over the world, as roughly 50% of the population is a DMV troll.  The fighting extends to the flash mob on the moon, which manages to form a Lunar Government only after all the next-gen fusion bombs have already been launched.

At this point you wake up, and are very, very confused as to a) where all the topsoil has got to, and b) why there are 500 people dressed as 1920's business men dueling with power drills in your back yard.  Then a large radioactive chunk of what was formerly the moon falls on them, and you are merely left to wonder where all the top soil went.

So if somebody asked you if any given event was going to happen tomorrow, the best you could have done would have been to flip a coin.

the purpose of the DHS postergasm campaign should be to get the government to release a statement saying "just because somebody puts up signs with an official-looking logo doesn't mean you need to obey them."

Shit yes.

That was amazing.
