Fantastic word game

Your choice of ham, turkey or peanut butter and jelly and tomato soup may have you asking who in the world would eat "peanut butter and jelly and tomato soup" until you realize that sometimes a sentence requires an additional comma for clarification.

Note the difference between these commands: "Eat children!" and "Eat, children!"
 
Your choice of ham, turkey, or peanut butter and jelly and tomato soup refers, I assume, to sandwiches; as it could get pretty messy without bread.

(Especially the peanut butter and jelly. FOOD FIGHT!!!)
 
"It Don't Matter To Me" either sounded better than using proper grammar, or with all that money at stake, it just didn't matter at the time.
 
At the time I subscribed to Time magazine, the issues seemed to be getting progressively thinner from week to week so I started using a timer to time the length of time that it took me to read Time each week and now I suppose you could say that the increasingly quick times that it took me to read an issue was just a sign of the Times.

There are no puns there unless you count the final phrase. I know we have a new no-puns rule on weekends and I'm trying to adhere to it. I try to stay oh-pun-minded.

Oops.
 
A sign of the Times is at the top of the page where someone **coughJEFFcough** missed a clue but nobody bothered to correct the matter and nobody bothered to ask for clarification.

So, there, I fixed it. Kenny would have fixed it had he bothered to drop in but he's busy with the 80s Rockfest tonight at Illusions. LARR, pun-free weekends are only in effect when someone is around to enforce it which would normally be me but I'm on vacation. Tentatively, it will be back on next weekend.
 
Clarification will be issued later this week regarding next weekend's planned pun-free weekend.

Home from sunny Florida into cccccccccccold Massachusetts. Brrrrrrrr! Miss Silkie, please ask some of the lovely young library interns to bring a large thermos of hot chocolate to my corner office.
 
Next weekend's planned pun-free weekend is either a good idea or a bad idea, depending on whether we interpret the words as meaning "a weekend free of puns" or "a weekend during which we are free to make puns."

I think you all know how Jeff and I are interpreting the words! ;)
 
We are free to make puns. and while puns themselves may not be free, they are usually considered the cheapest form of humor.

I was tempted to add the necessary comma to peanut butter and jelly and tomato soup, but I've been called on the carpet a couple times for changing the previous player's grammar, so decided to type it in verbatim. I still can't win! :)
 
Humor is a relative concept because, to cite one example, seeing humor in someone slipping on a banana peel depends on whether the person is you or someone else.

I put banana peels on my feet and now I have a pair of slippers. :)
 
Someone else down the hall from my corner office enjoys pun-free weekends just as I do.

Rest assured, 'pun-free' means 'free of puns'. :D
 
I do enjoy pun-free weekends, despite what some may think; they're relaxing.

If you can't be loud, stupid, and obnoxious when you're young, when can you?
 
Nights arrive at the usual time, although it gets dark at different times.

By the by, LARR, if you have a look at the St. Martin's Handbook you will find that sometimes where you place a comma is archaic in grammatical terms.
 
At different times each day, I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner but it would certainly save me a lot of time if I could eat all three meals at once.

St. Martin's includes these examples of sentences that require commas: "The ball flew past the goalie, but the score did not count" and "Sunflowers grew on the hillsides, along the roads, and in the middle of every pasture." I, and most modern-day grammarians, would not put a comma in that first sentence, nor would we put one after "roads" in the second sentence. It is much, too easy, to overuse commas, and, put them, where they are not necessary,.
 
At once we see see the punctuation marks, but then we do not depending upon whether one may create a new sentence from the latter part of the sentence at conjunction junction.
 
Conjunction junction, What's your function?

Yes I remember School House Rock on Saturday Mornings when I was a Kid.
 
Conjunction junction, What's your function?, was routinely asked on Schoolhouse Rock but should not be confused with Shorty Long's Function At The Junction, though both were a party of sorts, not unlike Kenny and Dave's Illusions Rock Fest on Saturdays.
 
Kenny and Dave's Illusions Rock Fest on Saturdays usually run into Sunday, and Kenny and Dave usually have so much to drink that they wind up running into the restroom.

Non-alcoholic drinks, of course. I make sure that all my posts are G-rated.
 
The restroom Door Said Gentlemen was a twisted Christmas tune by The Bob Rivers Comedy Corp, on an album entitled Twisted Christmas, which pretty much made fun of and scorned the commercialization of the day while scoring a pretty big hit with the album.
