Boofredlay, I give you a clue. It's a movie from the late 70's I believe. and another clue "something with aliens"

Thanks. I will think some more... hurts though.

Mine's a character from a sc-fi movie of the late 70's

Ohw yeah that's the right answer.

well in dutch it means "the close encounter= close meeting"
so I put a magnifier on the 3. and the trumpets is the sound
that the ship make.

There is third class mail or there was. I don't know what the magnifying glass would have to do with it, though.

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"?

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?"

Alan Fraser

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?

david_h

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!
