Sonny Boy is a nickname my ex- and I have for our thirteen year old son Adam. He's always been good for a joke since he was little. Recently, he made a comment about the movie Jaws that amused me, and a bunch of bloggers. Since he is now a teenager, the supply of Last weekend, Adam and I were talking about the impending doom of Berwyn, Illinois sculpture "The Spindle." Sonny Boy proposed a plan of action.
"Bring the sculpture to Chicago and put up a wall between Berwyn and Chicago to protect it. We'll call it The Berwyn Wall."

i have a feeling it is NEVER dull when adam is around!
Does Adam carry around a little drum machine for his own rim shots?
HAHAHA i am embarrassed that I find that as funny as I do.
HA! That made me laugh and snort. I vote yes.
Skyler's Dad beat me to the rimshot comment. WHOA, you're a good crowd!
I can't wait to meet that kid.
Can we put a mote around all of Berwyn?
Ich Bin ein ex-berwyner....
Somebody get that kid his own blog already!
Nice. I love a bad pan. A friend and I used to do this little "skit" called "Bad Pun Theatre." As soon as one of us would make a bad pun the other would say in a quasi-British accent, "It's time for another episode of Bad Pun Theatre," and then proceed to go back and forth with as many bad puns that we could think of.
Then at one of my old jobs, we created a "pun bell." Obviously, any time anyone made a bad pun we rang the bell. It rang a lot.
Flannery-
You said it all!
Elk-
Are you still sore he's winning your annual bet?
Barista-
You would be correct in that assumption!
Skyler's Dad-
We have to make do with an imaginary one.
Natalie-
As my late friend Mark said about puns, the great thing is the worse they are, the better they are.
Amy-
Me too!
Bubs-
I have a feeling that you guys will get on well.
Grant-
As long as my friend Paul, one of my favorite people, can get in and out. He lives there.
Elk-
That's as bad as the original pun!
Chris-
It's in the works!
Beckeye-
Do you remember "Leonard Pinth-Garnell's 'Bad Theater'" bit on the old Saturday Night Live? Dan Ackroyd would host it. At the end of the excruciatingly bad and pretentious piece, he'd clap and say "That wasn't very good, was it?"
