Oh, fear not, certain other professions have a penchant for puns, too. I have found that, for some reason, archivists, historians and archaeologists sometimes reach near-criminal levels of punnitude in publications, articles and whatnot. ...I suppose that's why no one sues anyone for punnage, that I know of. Lawyers are masters of it themselves.
And that red nib makes me want to bring out my Pennonia Draculea and see how, like a river of blood stemming from the suffering of others when I pun my way through life, the ink flows from the nib.
(All that aside: I am in this blogpost and I don't know how I feel about it. Yes, slow-dance-goth! But also, yes, Parry Gripp! Spread your wings, neon pegasus... undead, undead, undead.)
Should we make sure the Benu folks learn about Parry Gripp's songs? Or, perhaps they already do. Considering some of their fantastic offerings could be one of his songs in music form.
Oh man, if I had a line into the BENU team I would just be emailing them every day asking why they make skull pens and sparkle pens but not a skull sparkle pen.

Oof yes, academic article puns are an entirely new layer.
And yeah, I remember the day I realized the guy who wrote Pancake Robot was also the Nerf Herder guy. What a time to be alive!

I am delightedly speechless.
Yes.
This is a thing that must be.
And... if enough of us do it.... info@benupen.com
This is a good idea. I think I am going to write up a review of the Skulls and Roses and then use that as a springboard to email them.
For the record, I will never, ever use a lawyer pun in a product I offer. If I do, please feel free to demand that I shut the site down. :)
By Grabthar's hammer, I vow that I shall do exactly that.
