A Worldwide Punomenon: Difference between revisions
→Literature
Line 162:
* [[Roger Zelazny]] told [[George R. R. Martin]] that he wrote ''Lord Of Light'' solely so that he could use 'the pun'. It's one of the great puns; it can pass right by you the first time, but it's an absolute '''stinker''' once you spot it.
** LOL?
** There is a character in the book whose title is "The Shan". After having his mind transferred to a defective body, he suffers a bout of epilepsy, which is when the protagonist gets serious about his plans. (You should be able to figure it out from there. If not: {{spoiler|"The fit hit the Shan"}}.)
* ''[[The Phantom Tollbooth]]'', anyone? With the exception of Milo, ''every single character's name'' is a pun.
* Punday Night and Tall Tale Tuesdays over at [[Callahan's Crosstime Saloon|Callahan's]].
