Puns thread created in the meta section

(Fair warning that the first post mostly consists of me regurgitating a bunch of stuff from tumblr)

This is a pun thread. I would start it with a pun but I am not actually any good at coming up with my own so you're stuck with this, sorry. There follows a totally non-representative, rather arbitrary and fairly bird-heavy selection of puns. This is not anything like an exhaustive list of all the pu...

That's excellent

Re. there being nowhere to put it - a thread for unpicking Hugo's puns might be an idea? There are a lot of them, and they're fun to figure out, even if they don't all deserve individual threads.

Will do

I'm flying back on September 20th.

It was more that minefield or not, Les Mis provided social and political commentary for its time and just as your piddly little college AU really shouldn't have Enjolras championing something frivolous like "I hope the swim team that I'm completely devoted to and in charge of wins the state ch...

The graphic novel is definitely worth a read. I still prefer the movie personally, but I thoroughly enjoyed that as well (and I'm not really someone who is into graphic novels at all). Pacifisim is totally cool and all, just be very careful about how you characterise less peaceful people and their ...

Yeah, I'm not sure how a procedural format is supposed to work with...well, really any aspect of the canon. The only part of the description at the link that seems to have any relation to the original plot is the Valjean-Javert thing, and from the description even that doesn't sound likely to play o...

(And any Les Mis adaptation is bound to be heavily political if it's at all worth its salt.) Yeah, this is the problem. You can't make an apolitical adaptation without losing a lot of what the whole thing is about , but making a modern adaptation that is actively political is leaping straight into ...

Having also been lurking in the skype chat, there was also the point that "tire-moi" was something the actual Bishop Bossuet often said addressed to God, so once you see it as an innuendo in our Bossuet's thing, it retroactively becomes a double-entendre there as well.

I bought the DVD for 50p in a charity shop, so in the not altogether unlikely event that I run across another copy in similar circumstances I'll buy it and post it to you, Heidi

I punched Jean Valjean because the John vs. Killian videos were deleted

I AM NOT OKAY WITH ANY PART OF THIS

AJ are you on skype?

I wouldn't say that Enjolras would be atheist, because in chapter five of Jean Valjean book one, he talks about the future. "...for religion the heavens, God a direct priest..." I think though, that just because someone mentions God doesn't necessarily exclude the possibility of them bein...

I put gravy on pretty much everything savoury, don't mind me. Yeah, you probably have more in the way of hard facts than me, but I have the feeling that what effect there is is more about social side-effects than actual direct effects of streaming? Like, people have higher expectations of you and en...

Hugs for both of you, Relly and Sami.

You are definitely about due a break, Aurelia I have to say I don't understand why people wouldn't want to be friends with you, you're a dozen kinds of awesome.
