Kite Puns Needed
Robin Haas
One of the activities I coordinate at the Washington State
International Kite Festival is Pun Fun. This is a series of mass
ascensions with a twist. The object is to create visual puns in the
sky. Some of the puns that have been used are:
Priced to Cell - All types of cellular kites with price tags
attached to complete the pun.
Its Only Rok and Rollers - Rokkakkus and Roller kites.
Delta Upins Ki - A fictitious fraternity (say it fast) for
delta kite flyers.
I think a picture should be beginning to emerge. I am asking for help
in coming up with some new puns that could be used this year. The
only new one that I have been able to come up with is "Tri Tri again"
in which there will be Tri-D boxes flown. Can anybody think of some
new puns? The only thing I ask is that they not be so obscure that
the general public won't be able to understand with minimal
explanation and that they involve a type of kite that many people
would have in their bags. I am even open to puns that would involve a
shape, color or anything that involves kites. I will be much indebted
and of course give recognition if your pun is used. I figured I would
ask the creative members of this group to see what we could come up
with. Either post your pun here (so we can all groan) or e-mail them
directly to me. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Robin,

I have seen *aluminum Foils*
*Tempus Fugit* (Time Flys) a clock with wings.
They had a punny fest at AKA in Lubbock or Seaside I believe.

One year a AKA Convention Jeff Cain and a few others had a "Pun Fly". One
of the kites was a parafoil made from aluminum foil. Another was named
"Taco Bell." It was a tetra kite made from Taco Bell bags!
See Ya,

How about "The Quad Squad" for quad line kites, or was that the name of a kite team once?

Of course I used that "handle" for a while.

I belong to a kite club called Phly Delta Phly that might work
for your stunt kites... Then theres the obvious Beatles pun involving
Revolutions... "You say you want a Revolution...". Christmas in
(substitue month) July...using snowflake boxes...

Ah, I sense the brain cells are beginning to warm up and the little
synapses are firing away triggering some creative thinking. Now we're
getting closer to what I am hoping for.
For those that missed the first post, I am searching for kite puns.
In other words I am looking to create visual puns in the air using
kites. This is going to be a mass ascension event so puns that use
only one or two kites won't work. I also need to have them so obscure
that the uninitiated into kiting won't be able to get it with a little
explanation from the announcer. Props to complete the pun are okay.
I thought of a new one yesterday myself, although I don't know if I'll
use it yet. I'd have a kite (a delta or rok most likely) with the
word "go" written on it. The kite would then be flown with a lot of
flowform kites. The obvious pun? "Go with the flow" of course!
Now, I hope that has inspired some of you that see things just a
little differently to help me out with some more. I am looking to add
at least three or four new puns this year and if we get more
submissions here than I can handle we can use them in future years.
Now, get those thinking caps on!

Sorry, I made a glaring mistake in my previous post. The fourth
sentence should say that the puns should NOT be so obscure that the
uninitiated wouldn't be understood by the uninitiated. Sorry for the
confusion.
Keep thinnking! PLEASE!
De Clarke
"Delta Blues"
or a set of DC's in leopard prints with mylar chains hanging off them,
"Conyne the Barbarian"?
this could get bad.

Well, this will teach me to get on the computer right after I crawl
out of bed! Okay, let's see if I can get this straight! I want the
puns to be able to be understood by people that don't fly kites with a
minimum amount of explanation from the announcer. There, let's see,
did that make sense? Yes, I think that is satisfactory.
Actually, this is just an evil ploy to keep the thread alive while
everyone thinks about it for a while. It is getting a little
embarrassing however having to answer my own posts! The result is
that I think I am beginning to talk to myself even when I am away
from the computer!
I may have to resort to disguising this thread with a header like
"Free kites!" or something like that just to make sure people are
reading it!

one. While flying a kite titled 'Time' (honest!), he said time flys when
you're having fun.
