Tony,
Hate to point this out, but I counted only seven "pows."

While we're on the subject of bad jokes....

Dejà-vu alert!
I am 100% positive that I've seen this joke elsewhere online, and 101% positive that Colin once submitted it to the Message Board. (Though not necessarily on this thread.) Ah, you just can't miss with a classic....
BTW, the most effective delivery of that other joke would probably be:
- - What did Ralph Kraken say to his wife?
- "One of these days, Alice, one of these days.... Bang! Zoom! Bang! Zoom! Bang! Zoom! Bang! Zoom! Bang! Zoom!"
Some of our younger TONMOers may not get the reference, but I think it's a regular riot.

Oh, I don't know about that, WK. Perhaps he was just inspired by European current events:

Harchiteuthis harchiteuthis. Very funny. You think I'm gonna be suckered into laughing at that? I octopus your face in for saying something that stupid.
"An eight-armed and seriously evil squid, AKA the lightning squid of death from hell."
Very punny, DG. Think you scare me? I could knock your teuths out myself. However, if you insist on taking up arms against me, let me warn you that the pen is mightier than the ink. And anyway, I am already having you followed -- what do you think that detective was taking photophores?

oh, i see.....someone invoked the name of someone that bested you and your first response is to call for backup?
why do i suddenly feel like tina turner in Mad max beyond thuderdome? "two (people) enter one (person) leaves" :) at least i hope i look half as good as she does when im 50/60 (yes, i know its not the same but work with me.... decent set of legs etc.)
as for nick, pun away, but try not to go overboard with the emoticons :)

Aw, WK, I think you'd look kinda cute in stiletto heels and a miniskirt -- though that might make it a little harder for you to straddle cannons in parks....
