Punny Monday 10.10.04
Welcome to Punny Monday. This is a fun little guessing game meant to spark your imagination and tickle your funny bone. Every Monday I post an original photo and ask my readers to figure out what was going on in my brain (or Amoeba’s) when he/I/we made it. Posting time varies so every time zone occasionally gets a fair shot at being first to see the game.
Here’s the photo you need to base your guess on:
What 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!

Interesting picture, Quilly, can’t figure it out so I e-mailed the first thing that came to my mind as a guess… =^..^=
Mar — I guess your inability to guess this is because you are from a cents-less country!
No idea yet…
Barbara — use your common cents … 😉
Groan. Where’s Raven? She always figures these out…
Kelley — Raven must be having a sleep in today.
good gravy and grits, I dunno.
Doug — gravy and grits? Yum!
Hmmm… penny for your thoughts while snapping this?!
Susan — I was thinking it was pretty darn easy!
I sent you a noun!
Karen — and you used good cents in doing so!
Haven’t got a clue this week, so as usual will just sit on the Fence and watch the rest play.
Bill — well, I suppose since you’ve been unemployed you are cents-less.
A thought came to mind right away but reading the comments maybe I was too quick on an answer.
I’ll wait and see. 🙂
Nope, Carletta. you were correct. Everyone else just tried to make it really difficult.
I thought of an immediate answer but it was to the wrong question . . .
Jabblog — that happens to me all the time! LOL!
I thought that I had an odd slant on life, then I saw this… obviously my thinking is nothing like lateral enough 🙂 Will look forward to seeing the answer later!
Alastair — you might want to study the American monetary system!
Ya…where’s Raven?
Clueless in Corntown.
😉
Shelly — Raven is lolly-gagging.
Well… I’ve heard of penny candy… but not penny candles… so I guess I’m clueless again! Sounds like I’m not the ONLY one though… 🙂
Melli — you all tried to make it harder than it is!
Woohoooo! I would have been a bit earlier if I hadn’t gotten hung up on ‘Lincoln’ – ‘linkin’ ‘ for too long (trying too hard pffft)
Susan — a common Mensa failing. I am so proud of you for overcoming your intellect handicap. 😉
Congrats to Susan!! I LOVE it!!

Mar — I am glad you enjoyed it. All my players are really great sports!
I feel entirely vindicated in my inability to guess – Cents aren’t the currency we’re used to here in the Motherland…. Pounds and Pence for us lot 🙂
Alastair — I am not certain it is in your best interest to go around telling people you are in-cents-able.
groan, clever but painful that one, Quilly… keep up the good work….
Isn’t that a noun phrase, rather than a noun?
Doug. No. A candle and a scented candle are two different objects. Just like Ambrose and Ambrose Bierce could be two different people.
UGH! WOW! That is great! Congratulations to Susan!!! At least SHE had some common scents!
Melli — I wonder if she’ll get all centimental about her win?
I got it! Nine hours late and after the results were posted. Forgot all about it this morning! Good one!
Raven — You were missed. Many a wannabe punster was looking for you to solve the puzzle.
It always makes so much sense when the answer is posted. Congrats to Susan! But I think I like Burnt Incense best. 🙂
Barbara — I would have had to light the candle for burnt incents!
[smacks forehead]
Now why couldn’t I come up with that?!?
Karen — because you were thunking too hard!
Groan! I even googled my guess before I cent it to be sure there was such a thing! And there was a movie or a song called “Light a Penny Candle.”
I got burned on this one!
🙂
Linda — well, you were playing with matches, after all!
common cents here is not the same as in the us so i’ll use it as an excuse (besides, i had a mad day at the office)
