Feb-28-13		EvanTheTerrible: Awesome.

Nov-20-17		FSR: Yes! We Have No Banas.

Nov-29-17		nalinw: Oohhh - that is so bad it is good! How about "Banas No Mas"?

Nov-29-17		newzild: Quite an interesting game. This variation of the King's Indian Attack with opposite-side castling is dangerous for White. The 17. Nxd5 sac is standard in the KID, but the exchange sac 20. Rxe7 is more impressive.

Nov-29-17		FSR: I'm on a roll! Two puns in the last five days, and they were made GOTD a total of 16 days after I submitted them! (The previous one was <Electric Shak>: E Najer vs Mamedyarov, 2017.)

Nov-29-17		thegoodanarchist: <FSR: Yes! We Have No Banas.> Now, be honest <FSR> - were you inspired by my comment here: S Smagin vs J Banas, 1987 (kibitz #13) ? Do I get an assist?

Nov-29-17		Saniyat24: <No Banas> meaning?

Nov-29-17		morfishine: There was a popular radio personality named Jana Banana. She quit to pursue other interests *****

Nov-29-17		Ironmanth: Intense attack!

Nov-29-17		morfishine: <Saniyat24: <No Banas> meaning?> There was a song written in 1922 titled 'Yes, we have no Bananas', so we can conclude the voted for game title 'Yes, we have no banas' is only an elementary, shallow reference to the players name (which, as usual, does not qualify as an actual pun). Hence, we can confidently flush this one down the toilet bowl of bad ideas. I understand your confusion *****

Nov-29-17		kevin86: The bishops and queen drive black to destruction.

Nov-29-17		AylerKupp: <morfishine> We need to get a bigger bowl. Does that count as a pun?

Nov-29-17		AylerKupp: If anyone ever doubts the power of the two bishops, just show them this game.

Nov-29-17		posoo: morfudlian have YOU ever sobmited a pon? NO IT IS NOT DA CRITIK WHO COUNTS - TEDDEY ROSAVELT

Nov-29-17		FSR: thegoodanarchist: nope, didn't see it.

Nov-29-17		FSR: posoo: morfishine is much better at criticizing puns than creating them.

Dec-01-17		morfishine: Hey <FSR> and duh old <posoo> both of you are idiots, if not just plain ignorant I've had plenty of puns accepted. I'm just not so vain that I have to count these games, much less constantly remind the world of how many have been voted in. I am not a narcissist. Vanity is not in my makeup Thank you *****

Dec-02-17		newzild: <morfishine> Please don't be abusive. I find your comments to be unpleasant.

Dec-02-17		offramp: <newzild: <morfishine> Please don't be abusive. I find your comments to be unpleasant...> Okay, <Morfishine> is a known and respected poster here at chessgames.com. Quite rightly you, <newzild>, are using your freedom of speech. And that is what we should all do, till Christ out Lord, amen,

Dec-02-17		GrandMaesterPycelle: Is he, though? Pretty much all he seems to do is endlessly whine about puns with a remarkably unjustified fury, like some sort of dark chess Don Quixote de la Patzer. So I get "known", but respect should probably be a little pricier.

Dec-05-17		WorstPlayerEver: <Okay, <Morfishine> is a known and respected poster here at chessgames.com.> Let's see.. do you remember any of their puns?
