Either "inspection of", or focus on this, rather than other classes? As long as the trend is toward the esoteric?

How about just plain "See"?

C-3PO

one of my personal favorites. a 1959 take on the classic "39 Steps" which was then remade in 2009. Check em out!!!

Only Cary Grant can run thru a corn field in a Brooks Brothers suit and look immaculate. This scene although part of Hollywood Legend, was always far-fetched to me. He gets the directions from Eva Marie Saint, which send him to a rural crossroads in Indiana. .. and not once does he say to himself. . ."am i being set up here?"

Yup!

Ok, it has been a slow week. So why not revive another old thread, this time from 7 years ago.

So what is the visual pun?

Eric. . .Glad to see this oldie being revived. It was fun back in the day--even though I was never any good at it back then.

And I'm still not it seems. I have no idea what this picture is, but anything that involves a poop emoji has got to be hilarious, right?

Obviously

I've only just found this thread - well I joined around 2013, so missed most of it. I read the lot and laughed until I couldn't breath! I still think 'soccer' should have been shadow boxing, 'Karioke' was 'heavy print', 'Seifeld' was 'stand-up comics', I'm absolutely sure 'love machine' should be 'heart-(r)vending'. Costofinkel's first comment on p33 had me in fits... and Tobobo's cat hook comment on p46....I need oxygen!
Oh and the new Boofredlay's new one - something to do with cutting loose of sh*t, man!

[boofredlay]

Glad you got a good laugh from these.
A good few of these can definitely have more than one "correct" answer apart from the author's intent.

Nope.

[emerald15]

Unchained 'Malady'...man!

[emerald15]

or... 'snow escape' (there's no escape!)

[measuredmove]

a wild guess...Snapshat

[boofredlay]

Good guesses but now.
Hint: The answer has to do with shopping.

[Dave R]

I found this. Does it have anything to do with it?

[measuredmove]

wow..I never realized there were so many ways to say the same thing.
Back to the pun-one other thought came to mind Unchained Malady not so much to do with shopping though.

Ok another hint, Taxes.

[david_h]

ok . . ..how about:"

Huge Taxes can enslave us like a big ball and chain and are a pretty much big pile of cr*p?

That seems a bit convoluted, n'est-ce pas?

[boofredlay]

Last hint. Someone should get it off of this.

Shopping minus taxes.

[Dave R]

Duty Free!

Good one Eric.
