Things that went over your head...

[Devons Daddy]

the joke
I operated on my own BRAIN,

to me was always BRIAN, as i read it as such, due to dyslexia and the utter inability to spell.
i only realised i may have been wrong years later when reading the Thrill power Overload story on it.

Here's one I noticed today.

So there is an Austrian football team called "Sturm Graz".

You know that stuff the Judge's use to control riots? Not riot foam, the other one, Stumm Gas.


Is that close enough?

Or even, do you know what you call a man balancing four planks on his head?
[spoiler]No?  Well Edward Woodward would![/spoiler]

This joke, and the one in the previous post, went straight over my head... till I finally realised that it doesn't work in an Irish accent.  Which is a pity, as I'd really like to tell it to people.

Sorry JBC.  Maybe you can use this one instead:

What do you call a woman with a boat tied to her?
[spoiler]Maude.[/spoiler]

Failing that, how good are you at putting on other accents?

Just discovered that Steely Dan's 3rd album was called Pretzel Logic. The Dredd variant appeared I. prog 304.

So prog 1900's Block Judge, where injury to a presiding block judge means Dredd has to fill-in and deal with the mental residents of a rundown city block, is a fantastic 'new' story from Wagner and Ezquerra, is it? Some of us don't have the wool pulled over our eyes so easily- this 'new' 10 part mini-epic is doing nothing but expanding on the premise of a single issue story which was published a mere 13 years ago.

They've barely even bothered to change the title (Block Court, Wagner & Kennedy, prog 1284)

That Dolman's had more than face-change surgery:




She's had city reassignment surgery too. From Wagner and Marshall's Escape From Atlantis, prog 1285, 3/4/2002.

I was reading an old story last night where a Judge jumps in front of MacGruder to save her from an assassin.

The judge's name is Judge Coster.

tee hee

Different Chief Judge (Volt), different spelling of the name Costner:

The name badge of CJ Volt's personal protection officer in Mark Millar's voodoo assassin nonsense, The Big Hit (prog 1030, art by Graham Stoddard and Jack Couvella):

Gaahh!  I still can't use it!  That said, I am alright at putting on other accents; at least until someone with that accent heards me.

Okay then, what do you call a man with no arms and no legs you find floating in your swimming pool?
[spoiler]Bob.[/spoiler]

Well, that works in my accent... but everyone knows that one, no?  [spoiler]Bob[/spoiler] was even a character in Will Self's My Idea of Fun: a limbless Scotsman, he was, heroically working his way round a swimming pool.

I still don't get this one. What sort of accent do you need?
