yes! you liked it, why no make it?
It was funny, just not as funny (IMHO) as the winner. My general gauge is, if I laugh out loud the first time I read it, it goes on the list. If I laugh out loud the SECOND time I read it, it’s usually the winner. Which I did with Lyogi’s. Just something about all that power and grimacing playing a game of Punch Bug hit me the right way.
I don’t get it. What is “PUNCH BUGGY RED”? Is it a quote from a movie?
It’s this stupid game you play while you’re in the car on a family trip. When you see a VW bug you shout out “PUNCH BUGGY!”. If you’re the first to call it, you get to punch the other players in the arm. If you see a red one, it’s “PUNCH BUGGY RED” and you get TWO punches. Etc.
Silly childhood game.
Okay. Now I get it. He’s punching Stringless Bow Man in the ribs because he saw a red VW.
Congratulations Lyogi!
