As with nearly every day, Lewis and I went on another punning spree. Now for your reading pleasure…or displeasure depending your level of comfort for bad puns.

Ben: yeah. lighting makes all the difference

Lewis: i might get my dad something like that, he sells gourds (and believe it or not people buy them!)

Ben: yeah, i think i recall you saying that a while back

Lewis: and i’ve done photos for him but they’re just the ambient room light or the awful flash light

Ben: are they gourdous?

Lewis: it’s a gourdamn gold mine!

Ben: you better gourd your secrets

Lewis: well, commissioner gourdon has batman on that

this could be a flight of the congourds song

Ben: oh snap! i think it’s time you cut the umbilical gourd from that.

Lewis: still challenging me? En Gourde!

Ben: yeah, i was about to call Harrison Gourd to assist

Lewis: that would have struck a gourd for sure

Ben: yeah, i think you struck a gourd with the powers that be

Lewis: used that one!

Ben: did you?

Lewis: “that would have struck a gourd for sure”

Ben: i’m gourded for life

Lewis: snap!

Ben: o

Lewis: w00t, that was a long one

Ben: FOR THE GOURD!

Lewis: OMFG…
you came back from the DEAD on that one
I concede!

Ben: hey, are you doing the revote for gourdgia senate seat?

Lewis: doh!
yeah

Ben: < winnar!

I know, it was pretty bad…but that’s how we roll.

After reading this article, and sending it to Lewis, we decided exactly how the conversation must’ve gone. Enjoy.

Ben: Gene: Ok, so we need to get 3,200ft of cable over there. Any ideas?
Jeff: We could attache them to a helicopter and take it over.
Gene: Really? That’s the best you got?
Jeff: Well it’s better than the rocket idea I had.
Gene: What rocket idea?! OMG! Rocketz! Someone get me some rockets!

Lewis: Gene Wang and Jeff Chong… of course
haha
Jeff: It’s a good thing I didn’t mention ‘a guy with a jetpack’ idea

Ben: Gene: What’s that Jeff? Did you say something about a jetpack?
Gene: The noise from the rockets kinda drowned you out.

Lewis: Jeff: NO, i meant. Deaf bats, yes, Deaf bats are poising a problem for the uh, hey look a rocket!
Gene: ROCKETZ!

Ben: this is getting posted

Lewis: do it!
but use a rocket — somehow
fire bottle rockets at your keyboard

So there it is. I managed to get an actual transcript of how that conversation took place. Man, from now on I’m using rockets for everything at the house. If I need to rake leaves…rockets. Change the litter, yep, rocket. I don’t think there’s anything a rocket can’t help out with.

3:36pm Craig:
really sad for you to vote for socialism
sadi day when my friends see that as the only way

3:38pm Ben:
so here’s my story. originally i had no intention on voting, then i was really only going to vote for barack because i wanted to be part of history by voting for a black president, now i am only voting for him because i don’t want to vote for palin. i will be the first to admit that i am NOT a person who should vote at all.
i value everyone’s opinion and don’t really have an adverse reaction one way or the other.

3:39pm Craig:
wow, you are just the kind of person that the Obama ticket wnats

3:39pm Ben:
yes, you are correct.
and that’s why i will most likely not actually vote at all.

3:40pm Craig:
thanks God

3:40pm Ben:
and in doing so will relinquish my say in politics for the next 4 years

3:40pm Craig:
haha

3:40pm Ben:
i’ve never been one to vote and only got involved because of the mass media coverage and everything that seems to be going around this time.

3:41pm Craig:
well i will pay you not to vote if that helps
haha

3:41pm Ben:
no need my friend. no need. however, if the mood strikes in the morning, i may vote.
i hate that i will be forever labeled as one way or the other because i vote

3:42pm Craig:
that is the way that it works unfortunatly

3:43pm Ben:
and that’s why i’ve never voted before
i want to only to be part of history (it will happen one way or the other), but i want to be able to remove the label from myself after the fact. unfortunately, i don’t see that as a possibility.

3:45pm Ben:
but i do value your point of view 100% w/o question.

3:45pm Craig:
just a scary sight is all

3:46pm Ben:
imo, both are. but that’s just my opinion. either way, after tomorrow, things will change.

3:48pm Craig:
indeed

I finally get out there and make a choice and I get the smack. Well, I’m gonna stick with my decision and vote for Barack. I have no idea the policies or anything really. I have me. I have my opinion, I have my vote. I’ve never exercised it in the past and I’ve kept my mouth shut about politics. I’ve not brought it up or complained or anything. And you know what, if the next 4 years suck my ass raw then I’ll be able to say that I made a bad decision and people can hate on me. Either way, I will have done what was right for me.

Lewis and Jennifer had an unfortunate event over the weekend when someone went in their car and stole her purse. This is never a good thing, but they got their stuff back and chances are that the perp. will be caught at some point. Anyway, on to the funny part. He and I were trying to come up with the best way to prevent future attacks on him and his family. Here is the transcript of our conversation:

Here’s a chat Lewis and I had today. Its one of those rare occasions when a pun just keeps getting worse and worse until it blows up. Enjoy:
