The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for November 18, 2023

I’ve seen some of these “riders”. These “children” don’t deserve to even be allowed on the stage!

Very good, sir! You’re my pun pal. We should be punished. Do you fancy a trip to the punitentiary?

Oy…. oy….. OY!

I’ll have to look up what shrimp on the barbie is!

Aussie? They must be “Down Under”!

My daughter was interviewed by Sharon Osbourne while passing through London. I don’t think she really grasped who it was until I explained it to her.

You would think a “dressing room” already had all the ingredients for word salads.

Bloomin Onion = 1,954 calories.

Outback Steakhouse was created in the good old USA.

and if he doesn´t get all of it he will think you´re getting at him – he´s a little paranoid!

shrimp cooked on the bbq grill?

No bats?

So is that glass filled with red wine or blood of a sacrificed animal?

The first number almost made me think of “Twelve Days of Christmas.”

The last one is the wrong group. That’s Men At Work.

Just the shrimp for me, please.

A pretty grill is like a melody.

He used to sing lead for Outback Sabbath.

Bloomin’ Onion is not an Australian dish. Outback Steakhouse is an invention from a night of heavy drinking by the founders. Nothing Aussie about it according to several Aussie friends. Even the decor is fake.

Or – he starts barking at the moon.

Does he bite the head off a koala?

I love the daily pun slam down between this and Brevity. Everyone needs at least one good groan every day!

I had a friend who was hospitality director a large music venue in St. Louis. He said one of the singers wanted a bowl of M&Ms in their dressing room…with only green candies.

And a small bat’s head salad.

When I first heard the song I thought a “Vegemite sandwich” was like a knuckle sandwich

doosa fiver, mate, an’ don’ tryda spake strine…

☺

If he’s one of the men at work, he definitely wants a vegemite sandwich

Unfortunately, Scott does not know much about Australia. Only Vegemite is legit. Bloomin’ onions are not a thing in Australia. What Americans call shrimp, Aussies call prawns. Shrimps are teeny tiny prawns. (A barbie is Aussie slang for BBQ.)
