All good puns are inherently bad

Truer words have never spoken. But what about the first pun?

What first pun?

Maybe the first pun someone made was good because it was new, and so not bad. But all the ones after that were bad.

Hm, so new things are inherently good? xD Or they just seem good because of the novelty spark?

Probably because of the novelty? We could probably start our own podcast chronicling our exciting journey of finding who made the first pun. Was it a father? Find out next week.

It'd be a great hour of me facepalming (or rather UGHHH very loud) because of your good/bad puns.

It'd be an interesting history lesson though.

Remember Benjamin Franklin's quote as he signed the declaration of independence. "We must all hang together or assuredly we shall all hang separately."

Or the classic line from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, where Mercutio ends up deadly wounded by a stab in the chest and remarks "Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man."

Go back even further and you find a hidden gem in ancient Rome. The apocolocyntosis (roughly transformation into a pumpkin) parodies common apotheosis texts where deceased of great virtue are glorified in literature. In the satiric text, dying emperor Claudius is cited to utter "woe is me, I think I have shat myself" with his dying breath, and the next line the author Seneca continues all snarky "If he did it, I don't know - but I can attest he never gave a shit about his people" (even more accurately translated: he screwed them all over, he soiled everything he touched. concacare is versatile like that)

Even the bible is full of puns, but most of them tend to get lost in the translation. "And he said, The kingdom of God is as if a man (adam) should scatter (zara) seed (zera) on the ground (adama). - Mark 4:26"

I'd say it's pundamental knowledge, but...

apocolocyntosis sounds like a greek word
hmmm too lazy to look on dictionaries right now
I'll believe you

Biomdomecha pundcast first guest will be Death by Mirrors

Yeah, it's from ancient greek á¼ˆÏ€Î¿ÎºÎ¿Î»Î¿ÎºÏÎ½Ï„Ï ‰ÏƒÎ¹Ï‚ which means gourdification (or well, it didn't before; I believe Seneca invented that word for his text). κολοκύντη meaning a pumpkin or gourd.

hmm yeah apo seems like the right preposition for that

Speaking of ancient puns... how long did Cain hate his brother?
As long as he was Abel.

A podcast about puns would obviously need a pun title. So to borrow from pundamental knowledge, Pundamental History?

That's horrible, which means it's great

You'd have to handle the ancient Greek because, it's all Greek to me. Death is probably more qualified to go on the journey with you.

What no! It's your idea!!!

Trio? Who would be a sponsor? Would it be businesses with pun names?

What businesses have pun names?

I just saw one yesterday! But forgot the name. Bob's Burgers has 2 different business name puns in the intro that gets changed for every episode.

Edit: Oh, Pho places seems to require one. Like Phonomenal or Pho Ton.

I need to try viet food someday.
Sounds phocking good

Is it that popular in your area? We could try each other's scenes and see how they differ.

I've only seen people eating it online xDDD
there must be a restaurant in São Paulo because that city has everything, but we are actually full of Japanese restaurants.

Then come here! My father never wants to try anything new.

I think there was an Anthony Bourdain episode in Brazil, but probably no where near you. Especially since it's enormous.

I'll go! But pls don't take me to eat anything like deep fried butter. My poor heart can't take it.

He was probably looking for the typical local foods from Amazon and stuff. So very far away xD
Even feijoada, they like to eat it in Rio de Janeiro

It's becoming a foodie mecca, so there should be a good variety.

Probably so. It looks like there was more than one episode. Minas Gerais was one at least. When he went to Houston he seemed to explore some of the variety.

Hmmm yum. I like tasting new stuff. As long as it isn't like, intestines.

Minas Gerais is where we have 'comfort food'. So good, but I'm glad I don't live there or I'd be even fatter.

Heheh, yeah none of that unless you look for it.

It would be nice to explore all these food destinations, but not for all the extra calories.

That is always the problem. Why can't we choose the amount of calories the food will give us...

Maybe walking to each destination will help. How many miles is it from France to Italy?

How about at least biking from France to Italy?

We can call it "Tour de Hurryupalready".

That sounds very French.

My sister left her dogs here while she's traveling and one of them already pooped outside the designated area!! THE DIAPER IS CLEAN, FLUFFY, WHY DID YOU POOP ON THE FLOOR!!!

Diapers? Or is it a potty pad type of thing?

Yeah, we call it 'diaper' but it's a square covered with plastic and a potty pad. A very large square!!!

Ah, I think it's pretty much the same materials so it makes sense. Some dogs like to scoot forward when they go, so maybe Fluffy tried but aimed poorly.

She is a bad dog. She always poops in the wrong place at my sister's, but here we have rules!!!!

She's a rebel. Ain't no one gonna tell Fluffy where she can go.

And then she looks at us with that innocent look
all pomeranians are demons, I say

Yeah, I mean they have a lion's mane for a reason. Pre-human Pomeranians also had their version of a pride. There's evidence that they were able to take down large prey if enough of them could work together.

The older dog can take down a human for sure |D
her bite is powerful.
