Okay, in the spirit of pooka's ghost thread, we're going to take as tonight's topic, the supernatural, esp and all the other sports networks.

If you can hear me, knock three times...

No particular deadline. I'm going on a trip so will probably have internet access sometime Wednesday night from my haunted hotel in Cambridge. I'll try to post then...

Careful, Bob, when you are in Cambridge. You could get two boats and sail 'em on up the coast, but it might burn through your wallet if you try and buy steak.

If you fly into New York, you can take the Hutchinson to 95.

Wow. The way Elizabeth gets into the spirit of this, I haven't a ghost of a chance. But Bob, while you're in England, be sure to visit the Tower of London and see the crown Jewels. The Royal Spectre is out of this world.

Only the most headless traveller would go to the Tower of London. I think he should go to Cambridge and visit the Venn Pyre instead.

Speaking of "D'oh!!!!!!!!!" and traveling, do you guys remember that episode when Homer and Bart tricked Flanders into sending them to Hawaii for free? They were lepro cons.

That UK stuff raises the specter of a trip I must plan soon. I hate to be cryptic about my intentions, but let's just say that the Ghosts of Christmas Past & Future will have nothing on the presents I'm going to give.

I'm not really much of a seeker of puns... I usually just potter around until I dumble over one.

Hey, can I sue for copy-wight infringement? As soon as I Unearth a lawyer (the evil bloodsuckers) I will bury you in litigation. (Can you say, Haeboous Corpse-us)

You corrupted my name for a base pun, headless of my feelings. It makes me psychic to my stomach. The things Boo-b does to impress his Ghoul-friend. Has he no shame? (remember, at the center of Shame is a Ham waiting to break free)

Why such a fowl poem Bob? Try this one:

In London lies a knight a Poe interred.
His labour's fruit a Holy wraith incurred.
You seek the orb that ought be on his tomb.
It speaks of Rosy flesh and seedy womb.

So I was going to treat a friend of mine to some hotdogs, but then I got tricked into buying some hollow weiners. Now I don't buy food at the ballpark for fear of being sheeted.

(This topic also reminds me of that joke with the punchline "halls stops coffin in it's tracks" or something like that.)

Why does the Church get accused of condoning witch craft? Because they let the priests have a say on Sunday every week.

Not QUite a Pun: Why was the midget ghost always so cranky? He was short sheeted.

I had tickets to the baseball game, but didn't have anyone to go with me. I put together a friend and we went to the ball park, where I had a hotdog and beer, or as my friend called it--a Frank & Stein.

Barrowing from Dan_Raven's post.

"copy-wights" conjures the spectre of Elmer Fudd.

Can I inter the quick arrival of a host of dead-on transplanars?

Hey Bob, Since you are heading back east you need to check out this new company in Connecticut. Apparently they've figured out how to use phone lines to implement instantaneous tranportation. The company is called............ Tele-Connecticut

Did you hear that strong incense keeps a larger proportion of hens at their duty in the coop? It's a case of myrrh door, most fowl.

Then there was the ghost of the graduate student who haunted all her old teachers. She was in full possession of her faculties.

Wail, I musty goeth.

Did you all hear about the small third world country that borrowed from the catholics when designing a tribute to their king. Instead of kissing the papal ring supplicants merely press the ring finger. This has lead the country's nickname.... Pressthedigitnation

I found out that I only have 2 months left to live, and to top it all off, I'm having trouble writing up my will. I don't know whether to leave my possessions to my ex or sister.
