Punny Monday #25
What plural noun does this photo represent? EMAIL your answers and leave a comment designed to either help or confuse your fellow game players.
The first contestant to EMAIL me the right answer wins a featured link in my blog which will display until next Monday when we’ll play this little game again. Enjoy.
PLEASE, do not write your guess in the comments. It spoils the game for the other players. Your guesses will be shared when the game ends. Oh, and just because someone announces they’ve won, doesn’t mean that they have. Please keep guessing until I post the answers!

You sure weren’t kiidding in your email about this being abstract. I’m going to have to think on this one…and I’m sure get no closer than I am right now. But I suppose with OC coming up with that Pink Flower name…should we expect anything less? This is torture
Thom’s last blog post..My Grandmother’s Birthday and Monday Crazy Questions 8 – The Bucket list and other oddities
Thom — if you read this would be much easier. You would just go to your bookshelf and see the books sitting there between two ……
How you get bookends out of this photo is way beyond my comprehension. But congrat’s Melli…job well done. And no Q I don’t need an explanation. It wouldn’t help. Those look like greeting cards to me even when I enlarge them.
Thom’s last blog post..My Grandmother’s Birthday and Monday Crazy Questions 8 – The Bucket list and other oddities
They are children’s books, Thom! Little paperback books! You need a better education!
Okay so how is the answer Bookend then?
Thom’s last blog post..My Grandmother’s Birthday and Monday Crazy Questions 8 – The Bucket list and other oddities
Because Thom…. they are the LAST PAGE of each story! The END of the books! There are FOUR books opened to the LAST page — Book ENDS!
Melli’s last blog post..WARNING! Busy-ness Ahead!
Well how was I suppose to know that. They look like cards. Lol
His life is an open book…oh, that’s not a plural noun! gotta think harder…
Mar’s last blog post..untitled
Mar — actually, what usually stumps people is thinking too hard!
I haven’t got a clue, so I am going to sit this one out.
Bill’s last blog post..The Close Up Game #1 ~ The Winner Is
Bill — the better part of dignity, but not half as fun as a wacky wild guess.
Amoeba’s are often difficult. *sigh*
Guess is in, but probably a “whacky wild” one!
Thumbelina’s last blog post..Stuff
Thumbelina — yup — on both counts!
Today the clues don’t give me a clue.
Dr. John’s last blog post..The Patriotic Me
Dr. John — sorry. But now that you see the answer, isn’t it obvious?
I gave the obvious.
bettygram’s last blog post..Our Fourth of July in Photos
Betty — yep, and you were just a little too literal. I am glad you played though!
I’m going to have to ponder this one.
Barbara H.’s last blog post..Happy 4th and catching up
Barbara — sometimes it is the pondering that leads to wacky wild guesses.
My first whacky wild guess is in. Have a wonderful week everyone
Rosidah Abidin’s last blog post..Short Notice: Recovery and A Big Thank You
Rosidah — thank you for playing! I hope you had fun. Come back next week and play again.
I have NO idea.
Mumma — I am so surprised. As creative as you are, I would have thought you’d see this right off.
I am sending a guess but I am sure it is WAY off!!!
Jane’s last blog post..Now Isn’t This a Beautiful Family?
Jane — yep — but I love your enthusiasm and willingness to play!
To ME they represent 3 of my favoritest EVER children’s books and ONE I’m not sure if I’ve read or not!!! Is THAT it?
Melli’s last blog post..T’was a Glorious 4th!
Melli — you must go to the bookstore this very instant and ask for Robert Munch’s, Paperbag Princess. It is the best storybook ever for little princesses — and Luz certainly fits that category. In this book, the Princess rescues the Prince, and then …. oh you just have to read it for yourself. It is wonderful!
I will be doing this! THIS week!
Melli’s last blog post..WARNING! Busy-ness Ahead!
Baffled. My brain is refusing to be creative. Even coffee has not helped. Sigh. I look forward to learning the answer.
Raven’s last blog post..Happy July 4th from the Land of Occasional Sun
Raven — creative was certainly needed on this. Maybe a look at your bookcases would have helped more than a cup of coffee?
Can’t wait to find out the answer! Happy Monday!
Debbie — how come you didn’t play along? There is a Punny Monday email reminder that goes out when I post. Do you want to be on the list?
Congrats. Melli! Between here and Thom’s, you’re on a winning streak!
At least I did have “end” in there somewhere.
Barbara H.’s last blog post..I’ll be glad when today is over…
Barbara — I told everybody it would be hard! I fully expected to have to give clues and am really impressed that Melli got it!
ok, it’s only 12:23pm my time and the sun is heading your way. how is this game over already. I protest! I protest, I say!
Nessa’s last blog post..and you think you’ve got troubles
Nessa — 12:23 p.m. your time is 9:23 a.m. my time — you must be thinking Hawaii time. Sorry. Not for a couple more weeks.
Aren’t you in the Pacific North West?
Nessa’s last blog post..Oh, No! Not More Poetry.
yes, now I can see that you were not showing us pages but actually the ending of each book, missed that 1st time around……………it’s the details I am not good with!!! Another great adventure, thanks! XOXOOXO C
Caryl — it’s all in the details! We looked really hard for books that said “The End” — at least one — but that isn’t the “thing” nowadays.
I think I ought to get those books for me to read, I don’t know them and it’s never too late!
Congrats, Melliiiiii!
Mar’s last blog post..untitled
Mar — you SHOULD get those books for you to read! I read a couple to my Amoeba yesterday and he very much enjoyed them! The Paperbag Princess is my absolute favorite of all time!
*groan*
slaps head
(not too much though ‘cos it hurts!)
Thumbelina’s last blog post..Stuff
Thumbelina — it’s always easy once you see the answer — unless your name is Thom.
I am TRULY on a winning streak! WOW! I can’t believe nobody else got it… was it really that hard? Well… I miss the ones I should NEVER miss – and get the ones nobody else does. That’s kinda scary….. LOL!
