They are beneath this forums high intellectual capacity.

We are better than this. We should expect more from ourselves. Let's improve the world, starting with one thread at a time.

Remember, "he who would pun would pick a pocket."

High intellectual capacity? If that were the case we would all use apostrophes correctly.

Give me a really long list of cycling, cheese, and Sudocreme related puns

ChatGPT
Sure, I'll whip up a list for you:

Why did the cyclist bring cheese on their ride? Because they wanted a gouda time!
Sudocreme is like the cheddar of skincare – it's grate for soothing.
I tried to make a pun about cycling, cheese, and Sudocreme, but it was too cheesy and fell flat – like a deflated tire!
What's a cyclist's favorite cheese? Brie-cycle!
Sudocreme: the unsung hero for cyclists, the cream of the crop!
I told my friend I was going for a bike ride and eating cheese. They said, "That's nacho ordinary day!"
Why did the cyclist put Sudocreme on their chain? To make it smooth and creamy!
When the cyclist had a flat tire, they exclaimed, "This situation is wheely bad – I need a gouda fix!"
Sudocreme is the Swiss army knife of cycling – it's got you covered for every bump and pothole.
I tried to do a Sudocreme-sponsored cheese cycling event, but it was too slippery – everyone kept brie-falling!
Cyclists love cheese because it's whey better than not having a snack!
Sudocreme: the secret weapon against chafing – it's the brie-all and end-all!
What's a cyclist's favorite type of cheese? Two-wheel Brie!
I accidentally spilled Sudocreme on my cheese sandwich, but it turned out to be a creamy mistake!
Cyclists and cheese enthusiasts agree – Sudocreme is the pedal to the metal for skincare.
Why did the cheese go cycling? It wanted to be shredded!
Sudocreme: the velvety smooth solution for cyclists' skin – no if's, and's, or brie's about it!
I brought a wheel of cheese on my bike ride, and now it's a brie-cycle!
Sudocreme: the triple threat for cyclists – healing, soothing, and smoother than a cheese fondue.
Cheesy cyclists say Sudocreme is their secret sauce – it's wheely the best!
Hope these bring a smile to your face!

Look, I'm beginning to think you lot aren't taking this seriously.

Where are the nuanced arguments, the intellectual discussions? Frankly, where is the love?

I'm not sure we'd benefit from discussing the theft of small river craft. Of course I could be wrong so perhaps we need to consult the coracle.

Can we ban puns from forum posts?

Ban puns? That's un-pun-acceptable! We can't resist the pun-omental urge to add a little wordplay to our posts.

Let the pun and games continue..

Those chat GP jokes were pretty good.

I support this policy. I can tolerate one bad pun but I have a deep and irrational dislike of how this seems to encourage everyone to just add their own to the list.

Some pan buns earlier today. Why anyone should choose to ban them is beyond me

I expect you lot to go stand in the corner and have a good long think about what you've done.

I would refer my learned colleague @poopscoop to the last two pages of the Ling thread whereupon he may find himself hoist upon his own petard.

Having read all the above posts, i believe there needs to be some serious colective punishment.

So the occasional bit of wordplay is okay, but you get upset when it's in apundance...?

I agree, saw this in the forum earlier:

Does anyone have any suggestions of which spirits to drink while listening to music?

Dr_Dre Full Member
If you like hip-hop then try Rum DMC

bagpiper Free Member
Or maybe some Rumrig?

Pop music fans often listen to (Ba)Cardi B

PeteTong Free Member
Agree with the above. Rum's also great for daft punk, the chemical brothers or any music you'd Havana Club

There were band puns in four rum posts

Great to see PerchyP! Salutations, sir. 😁

The manatee pun is excellent. 🤣

“he who would pun would pick a pocket.”

First you post about films mentioning Master and Commander, then you start quoting it....

I guess you were watching it on Thursday evening as well as us 😉
