Some possible calendar names;
MarlboroHoHoHo, Three Wise Men ride a pack of Camels, Soverign, Frankensence and Mhyrr, The King of Jews loves Royals, B.ethlee & H.em, The Lord will Lucky Strike you down! Mary, the Golden Virginia.-- theleopard, Nov 25 2006 UK Tobacco industry http://www.ash.org....ts/html/fact18.html [Ling, Nov 26 2006] B&H Photo/Video in New York http://impressive.n...9/16-12-18-med.htmlA picture of the store DrCurry and hippo are joking about. It's one of my favorite stores, ever; not just for the relatively low prices, wide selection, and reliable service, but for the amazing transportation system that spans the ceiling, and for the employees dressed about 1/3rd in full Hasidic garb. On Jewish holidays, even their *website* closes.

[theleopard, Nov 28 2006] For [TahuNuva] Cigarettes_20for_20kids<lights fuse, ducks and runs for cover> [theleopard, Nov 07 2007] Ah. I was hoping this had to do with cameras. --- DrCurry, Nov 25 2006 Players (on words) Please +-- xenzag, Nov 25 2006 Fairy Lites.-- Ling, Nov 26 2006 in fairness to idea, is it not a bit more interesting than just a list of puns, although it does contain this, and some of them are not bad? The idea of opening each advent window, then smoking the indicated cigarette is original - come on - defend your idea like a man/mouse/woman [theleopard]-- xenzag, Nov 26 2006 is the smoke puffed out at you or do you poke the cigarette out of the window to smoke it? can't picture this one at all.-- po, Nov 26 2006 [jutta] This is more than the puns, although since the tiny fragment of idea is to combine two widely available products this may not help it much. Still, + for making me laugh.-- stilgar, Nov 26 2006 My apologies for not explaining the idea fully, it's simply an advent calendar which contains cigarettes rather than chocolates. I know a great many smokers that would appreciate a festive smoke in the morning rather than a low-quality sub standard choccy bite.
The puns came naturally afterwards as I pondered the various Tobacco companies and the names they might don to their respective calendars.-- theleopard, Nov 26 2006 //Ah. I was hoping this had to do with cameras.//Same here - and I was all ready with some retort to the effect that B&H would be fairly unlikely people to celebrate Christmas very enthusiastically.-- hippo, Nov 26 2006 So not about my local football team then? Oh.-- DrBob, Nov 27 2006 [hippo], why not? Can't camera manufacturers celebrate the birth of baby J as much as the next company?-- theleopard, Nov 27 2006 Hanukkah'ta clue?-- zen_tom, Nov 27 2006 Oh right. Course.
I am... a spaz.-- theleopard, Nov 27 2006 Herald in the new-born SuperKings.
(sorry)-- theleopard, Nov 28 2006 Glad to hear it, [theleopard]. I have recently been born again as a Spaz and and I'm looking for other Spaz's to worship with.-- wagster, Nov 28 2006 Do we believe in some kind of afterlife?-- theleopard, Nov 28 2006 When five or six of you die, the leftover bits get stuck together to form a new person?-- imaginality, Nov 28 2006 Like a thetan?-- twitch, Nov 29 2006 Or old soap bars.-- theleopard, Nov 29 2006 Just in case I'm not the only one. I had no idea what both B&H and Advent Calender were. (+ after I figured it out.)-- Zimmy, Nov 29 2006 I hate it when I can't come up with puns because english is not my mother tongue : (
Still, bun. Too funny.-- Pericles, Dec 01 2006 Yeah....I'm an anti-smoker..... But it is kinda funny. I think of a person, smoking the month's fancy cigar/cigarette, looking at their nifty calendar, and grimly counting down the days of their existence. They don't care, they've got a cigar! Yaay! Did I say grimly? I meant cheerfully! And chokingly.... Well, I'll change to neutral, then I'll become Emperor of the World and outlaw smoking. Merry Christmas!-- TahuNuva, Nov 06 2007 random, halfbakery
