X marks the spot…..

I’m looking for a good retort…

I wonder if they have a size suitable for cooking Kraken?

Voodoo glassware?

aarrggh, mi bucko. ‘tis a good pun you have there, mi laddie, but don’t you think you should save it ’til September 19?

Cheap rip-off. I’m holding out for the real PYREX.

what wine goes best with ‘king of pies’ ?

First laugh of the day, Thank You!

One plot involves a group stealing and selling mooring weights – they are charged with “Anchor Hocking”.

A pearl of a pun worthy of Pastis – for what it’s worth. (Which isn’t much.)

Put a lid on that review!

Must have been written by a “cozy” mystery writer, like Mary Daheim.

It turns out that the conflict in the glass factory story was blown all out of proportion.

Pyrex was being used for cooking drugs. They changed the formula so it wouldn’t stand higher temperatures. It is now Breaking Badly.

Stupid, sick and funny!

Funny. When I was a little kid, say about 5 years old, I thought that when I heard the word “Pyrex” for our dinner plates, etc., my parents were saying “pirates” (which were something I was well aware of, perhaps because of Disney’s “Peter Pan”). I was confused and couldn’t understand what the connection would be. Now over 60 years later I still get a chuckle out of that, especially when using our old Pyrex dinner plates (many of which are my parents’ originals from the 1950’s).

Gil Thorp’s color people were here.

It’s probably better than the tale of the exercise class in the Virgin Islands, “Pilates of the Caribbean.”

That joke needs to walk the plank!
