Affordable nice hose

[McElmurry]

Just for a little levity. I can't resist a good pun. In any case, sorry if I've offended with my wee aside... Here are some affordable hose:

I am as guilty as the next guy when it comes to dishing out a good, or better yet a bad, pun. The challenge with puns that lean a little into the sites political no-go zone is they are nearly impossible to respond to without escalating the political aspect of the discussion. So at best they stop the conversation and at worst they seed a discussion that eventually ends badly.

If you want to get a good/bad pun thread going it has to be on a topic such as bird names or cats. Or you can pun about kilts with fell-onious intend even if it is a true-waist of time.

And I agree with Tobus that a definition from the OP of affordable would be useful.

Fair enough. For the record, I was making a joke about a media figure's bombastic style and saying nothing about his or anyone's politics. Didn't think I was in danger of crossing the political line by making fun of a TV personality but I guess since he covers political topics, it's reasonable to be construed this way. I was just looking for a way to slip the play on words in anyway. Judging by the reaction, my gut for where the line is was off a little, so I took an abrupt turn back to the OP's question. Cheers

Nathan , your pun is understood . However , he is not just a media figure or a TV personality but rather a " political " media figure . Some like him , some don't .

Either way , the point is , when you bring up someone's name from the " political " arena and then call them names such as windbag or bombastic , it creates for an unpleasant and unnecessary situation here on XMarks . Political views / opinions are not discussed here .

It's understood that you meant it as humor , however , you brought up a " political " media figure and expressed an opinion about him . There's no law against that , it's just not allowed on this forum . Those type of comments whether they are pro or con about someone can lead to heated political discussions . That's why anything political is not allowed on XMarks and that's also why XMarks has been so successfull .
