The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for March 09, 2014

Best play on words I have seen in a long time!! Kudos!!

I think that guy’s a quart low.

When do the Imperial Gallon (Storm) Troops show up?

I had to read it out loud to get it…great pun! Pastis is surely jealous!

I think he needs to check their IDs.

They might dig a Milky Way or a Mars Bar with those.

Seemed like an alien concept at first, then I got it.

Don’t know why this popped into my head. I guess because there was plenty of empty space there. I used to write trivia games for AOL, so speaking of space…. name as many cars or trucks as you can that have “spacey” names. Has to be a valid space term, nothing made up or twisted. For instance, if there were a car named the “Asteroid”, that would qualify. “Katy Perry” is a heavenly body, but she isn’t a car. Sorry.

How punderful.

Good one. I don’t fish, but I remember what a “leader” is.

Bait and tackle shop. Two miles down after first traffic light. Can’t miss it. next.

Another product placement, 7 Eleven.

I love the pig! :-)

Orion, Nova, Astra, Prefect (as in Ford Prefect?),……

Good job all, including the guesses. Ares is close, it’s Aries. Prefect isn’t a space object, but I know what you were thinking. Astra? doubtful, unless you’re relying on latin. I have a list of 18 at last count. Don’t forget Subaru! If you don’t know, I’ll let you look it up. Thanks for playing!

Here is my list, feel free to add to it. It’s all in fun anyway.mercurytaurusgalaxy“Del Sol” acceptableSubaruRamAriesSaturnVegaScorpio(n)GalaxyNovaCometEclipsePulsarAuroraCoronaMeteor

Oops I forgot the Lotus Europa!

Prefect as in Ford Prefect in “Hitch-hikers’ Guite to the Galaxy”.

Ford Prefect is funny, but doesn’t qualify. It’s the name “Ford” chose to use when he came to Earth, because the first thing he saw was a Ford Prefect. In fact, he thought cars were the intelligent life form on Earth. But no, it’s not a real space object.

Pfft. Took me a while, but I got it.

Heard this pun on Mater’s Tall Tails
