Believe it or not, long before I was punning, there were greats before me making it rain in double meaning, play on words and portmanteaus (yes this is a real word and the exact thing I love to do most in life. Besides eat. And french.)
And no I’m not talking about Groucho Marx. Or Stephen Colbert. Or Lil Wayne.
I’m talking about a few things even better: Boats, Racing Horses and Lifetime Movies.
Yep, you heard me.
They are the unsung heroes of america (no they’re not) and they inspire me to look around furiously for someone to high five whilst yelling “SEE WHAT THEY DID THERE?!?!?”
Don’t believe me? Boy are YOU gonna be sorry in approx 34 seconds.
Lifetime Movies
Because what else are you going to do with your afternoon?
- A Fare to Remember
- Pizza My Heart
- Armed and Innocent
- Crowned and Dangerous (their writers are clearly getting lazy)
- I Me Wed
- My Stepson, My Lover (ok not a play on words but the joke’s on somebody here. And i think it’s anyone who watches this. Oh and the stepson.)
- Boy Meets Grill
- Chasing Papi (Ok again, not a pun but I laughed because anyone named “Papi” doesn’t sound really hard to catch. Am I right?)
- Dog Gone Love
…please don’t judge me because I think I’ll probably turn these into a part two post and make up fake plots for them. All starring Meredith Baxter Burney.
Race Horses
Ruining marriages since 1917
- Hoof Hearted
- Anita Cocktail
- Break A Leg
- The Cute Won
- Ladies Knight
…makes me miss my old gamblin’ days.
Boats
H2-Oh no you didn’t
- Pier Pressure
- Devocean
- Scene Isle
- Sea-U-Late-Oar
- Yachtta Be Working
See, kids? There’s inspiration everywhere you look..proving once again that life’s too short to miss out on punz.
