Is it part Solzhenitsyn ref too?

Maybe, I always assumed "osyn" an awkward transposition of "yson" but I'd like it if there were an extra layer

Ash Ra Tempel - Hash Jar Tempo

is the pushcart prize a play on the pushkin prize

did not realize until now that thread title is a pun of one of Atrus' best lines in popular videogame Myst

I played chess against Arnold Schwarzenegger once. I set up the pieces on the board, and he said "I'll be Black".

That joke just went up to Arnold Schwarzenegger and told him, "I'll be wack."

"I'm a friend of Sarah Punner."

Is the Italian for Donovan = Capo Di Tutti furgone?

... interesting because I only noticed recently that every copy of i-D has someone winking on the cover.

... also that a guy I know was art director there in the 90s.

(an ilxor has been on said cover)

Darraghmac?

Would suggest momus but how would you know he wasn't just blinking

Just watched "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!" and was like "ohhhhh"

Friday's Los Angeles Times had a story about Hitler's book coming out of copyright that was headlined "New Mein Kampf causes furor" yesterday, which I didn't notice until one of my sisters pointed it out.

Just seeing i.d. mentioned. Been hoping to find my box of early issues dating back to it being a fanzine.
The early editions were far more personal style orientated. They mainly consisted of individuals photographed in the street etc showing off their own personal style choices. I think that had to do with why the mag got the title. It was about personal identity as displayed through clothing hence i.d.
I've been leafing through copies in newsagents recently and think it's mainly lost that aspect. Seems to be more about trendier styling. More about stylists than the d.i.y. thing it started as.
You wouldn't think to look at its glossy current look that it started as a stapled post punk fanzine.

The World At One

strange the first thing I got reminded of was this thread

I only got Aladdin Sane ("A lad insane") like last year or something. That was embarassing.

not a pun but i did wonder what those stars at the bottom of the Blackstar sleeve meant, whether they were some kind of substitution cipher. but it's simpler than that...

b o w i e

is it a cipher or just stylised letters?

cos if it's a cipher, the black star would be an 'O' which is about as ominous as you can get if you wanted to read anything into it

> is it a cipher or just stylised letters?

stylised to the point of being a cipher 8) i think that's what threw me, i was envisaging a whole alphabet.

whoa @ "a lad insane"

lol

bridge of spies/bridge of sighs

Whoa - a Robin Trower reference!

Nero Burning ROM

(not sure if counts as pun or reference)

ha ha, never noticed that

"Blue" Gene Tyranny (Gene Tierney)

Daft punk's "Disco-very"

I feel like such a dumbass.

Talking about Puns you had missed, anybody know a book called Puns by a writer that I think was a French Philosopher or related? There was a copy I'd been thinking of buying in the local 2nd hand bookshop & it was sold when I went back today i.e. I missed it.
Should have noted title and author but didn't.

But you did get the song Veridis Quo from the album?

xp walter redfern. I have a copy but only flicked through it

Thanks name rings a bell so I think that was probably it.

Ilxor-authored novel Us Conductors.

Only clicked the other day that the title of one of my favourite books, Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky, was a play on the Jules Verne book. I am very, very slow.

I've had the phrase 'That's my name, don't WEEEEEERRRRREEEE it out' stuck in my head since the days of Conor Smedley, so much so that close friends have started to say it regardless of knowing the context. Only the other day did I realise it was a pun on 'werewolf' and not just an amusing spelling error.
