he was an obvious kleptoemaniac from the start, so perhaps the CID will have him on file...

the no-toe-rious son of King Minos?

I will draw up an agreement to stop, if you will agree to get it no-toe-rized.

Toetally acceptable. Digital Signature with PGP ok?

Mind you, this move may be the nail in the coffin of the pun industry, however, I suppose we will have to be callous about it, and go with the best interests of what is a near toetality of the general public.

Corny jokes aside, my only regret is that I couldn't get a pun on metoetarsal in.

Did the last one go toe far?

AARRRGHHH must stoep before I go toetally mad. :spin:

My apologies, everyone. Yesterday Kvetch and I were afflicted with a strange new variation on Toerettes syndrome. I think it has now passed, and everything should be back to normal. Sorry!

Kvetch, perhaps you should consider moving this entire OT (off toepic) discussion over to the pun thread?

Since we had this discussion [Mod alert: off-line link de-activated. --Brad], I've been on a trip than included some time in Brussels.

Now, I got there by sleeper train, so you will not be suprised that, stumbling off the train at about five in the morning, I thought I was hallucinating when confronted with this dreadful vision:

Then, while site-seeing I saw this as well:

I'm surprised the Lotto sign (in the 2nd photo) doesn't say "Lottoe." :lol:

Maybe that would be toe much?

umm...I have ten toes.

Brad has nine toes (his goat ate one in toe-ture, because he ignored the goat is favor of Mrs. Brad).

My toes are toely.

I keep using the word toe too often.

Am I toe-turing myself by talking about too many toes?

Kvetch, I had no idea that Brussels was such a hot destination for toerists (or should I say toe-errists?).

It damn well isn't at six in the morning let me tell you. Everywhere was shut, including the organisation that regulates the EU's used road-surface selling buisnesses.

But then they were in charge of meta-tar-sells...


I've been trying to work in a pun on metatarsals since the thread started - and that was the best I could come up with. I apologise (for the low quality, not for the pun itself)
