Thanks are given to Liquor of alt.callahans for technical assistance on this entry in Paul DeAnguera’s epic punishment.
The H.M.S. Legume had become dislocated in time. Struggling back from an unintentional excursion to the Jurassic period, the frigate had only progressed futureward as far as the 6th century BC. And, although the First Mate was willing to grant that this was a good part of the way to the familiar, modern 19th century, he was not looking forward to walking … Read the rest...

Eirik Ott competes in the Punniest of Show portion of the 2010 O. Henry Pun-Off. His entry punned on Harry Potter titles being used for pornographic movies. It was very funny.
