A couple of years back I watched a video debunking a claim by a Flat Earth believer that the salt flats in a certain South American country prove the Earth to be flat. I was moved to comment... and triggered a pun barrage. Here are the highlights.

Santos Bonacci: "These salt flats prove the Earth is flat."
Everybody else: "I don't Bolivia!"

Drats! The report button has boxes for spam, violence and porn but I cannot find the weapon grade pun option.

I was expecting a Chile reception, to be honest.

These Guayana roll! There’s Germany of these country-related puns, but yet, somehow I’m still Hungary for more! Armenia more of these can there be possibly be? If you find more, Kenya guys please let us know? Ukrain share them here if you want, and Tibet you will! Oh where’s my manners… if it costs you anything to share them, Belize let me know and I’m Ghana Togo ahead send you a Czech.

Am I Russian to provide more puns? Yes, Siam!

There's a Brazilian more puns where these came from!

People can't stand these puns. They want to complain to whoever is in charge. They're shouting, "Get the Bosphorus!"

The Science Fiction author Spider Robinson noted that "Shared pain is lessened, shared joy increased." He is also known as writing some wonderfully horrendous puns. I think the two things are related.

Check out the short story compilation "Callahan's Cross-time Saloon," where you'll find a plethora of puns (but no pinatas...)

I’ll check that out! PS- I wrote a book about puns once. It was made out of paper. It was tearable. I wrote the first draft with a pencil, but the pencil tips kept breaking. So I switched to a pen, because writing with a pencil was pointless.

All was great until about 3pm.  The clouds started to roll in and as the eclipse made the world darker and darker, the clouds did also.  So we did not get to see anything.  After it was all done it started to pour.
This game seems to be rigged like that. >:D

Mind you, this volume has been the subject of so many rewrites, I should have found editing a whole lot easier this time around!
Editing is a rewording activity.

You were very close to me! our route in one direction from/to the viewing site went through Penn Yan, and it's my farmer's market town (not open till late May, though.)

-- and yes, we had the same cloud experience.

I forgot how close you are when we go to the area.  Maybe one time, we can meet.

my bees race back to the hive before the light really begins to fade.
If I remember correctly, bees can see both extra colors (ultraviolet) and polarization of the light, and actually navigate by that extra information ... surely someone did already think to film an eclipse through corresponding filters to see whether the visual effects might be even more impressive that way?
