Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 18, 2012

Coming soon: The Grate Escape, starring Paris Goat.

Reminds me of Pig’s great news a few weeks ago. No, he said, he had some [grate] news (he was holding a barbecue grill’s grate).

Now he can shred cheese, carrots, slice cucumbers, grate lemon peal, and for only $19.95 + s&h, he can get another one! he’d better call right now, because operators are standing by.

no, another grate pun.

try to remember the grater good

Marg that looks like a pretty cheesy grater for 20 bucks.

Actually, there is nothing grater than a pun…. cheesy or not.

Well, OK….. there might be a couple of things grater…. if you look at the hole world…. but puns are pretty grate when they’re sharp.

LeagleEagle….maybe that would involve the gratist?He’s the one who uses all those grate tools.

My favorite use of cheese…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOyQBSMeIhM

I like how even if you make it all the way to the bottom, they tackle you anyway….tough sport!

BTW, I call those things knuckle shredders…….but that’s just me…

Another pun? Pastis may be the grateful dead if Rat has his way.

All the above is beginning to grate on me.

Wait till Pig learns you can buy pre-grated cheese at the grocery store. It’ll blow his mind.

Oy!

Pig, you’ve got to quit hanging around that Pastis guy! It appears to be highly contagious!

Grate way to start the week.

Lame! I want the Crocs!

Pig needs his chops slapped for that one.

I’m old enough to remember the Grate Gildersleeve on the radio…

Some people are born great, some achieve greatness, and some just grate on your nerves.

Just a few more Grate-tuitous puns. If you shred cheese inside, are you an ingrate? These puns are getting re-grate-ably worse.

Time for a little pun control…

These kind of puns are okay — ONCE IN A WHILE.

“PUNster Cheese”?

@masterskrain; You win. +2 points over Susan. Good show, everyone.

Gratged things fall to the bottom of the barrel…which Pastis is scraping with this one!

I think I now have a marvelous way to get rid of unwanted guests at my door!

Wow! I had a great time reading all the grate puns but grading them good or bad would make me an ingrate……

Just kind’a grates on me.

Hey, Mojitobaby, Otto….. and any of you guys who thought mine were too cheesy ….You should be grateful that I still have a SHRED of pride,and didn’t say anything about the “grater of two weevils.” There are enough bugs in this site without introducing more.Also, I only let myself use them if I think they really work phonetically, so I didn’t mention trying a tiny fontina…and there are stiltons to which I won’t stoop!

Go get them Susan Sunshine – you are always #1 in my book! Grate puns by all but Ms. Sunshine outshines everyone.

Oh, GRATE! Another CHEESY pun…

Holy cow, these puns are grate! And at the rate they’re going, they’ll just keep getting grater…

Ban the sale of shredded cheese! Make America grate again!
