Your Pun Intended Universe is Getting a Redesign « Pun Intended
Written by Bamboo Forest

Do you think Pun Intended was just some silly site two snot nose kids put together? As if!

Pun Intended is destiny, my precious friends. Pun Intended is an Institution. It was destined to come into existence many thousands of years before this one, and it has. And it will be here long after me and Flying LlamaFish have completed our journey on this ball of spinning ice you call earth.

In a word, it’s eternal.

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat, said Theodore Roosevelt.

And so it is… The P.I. Council as well as me and Flying LlamaFish have all voted to create a completely new layout. And do not be mistaken, my dear ones… We are not doing this for us. We are not doing this because it satisfies us to know we will have a freaking awesome looking new layout. Or because this new design will create tidal waves of new subscribers and many riches. Those considerations don’t factor into this decision even remotely.

We will not provide a date for when this new design will be launched. Just know, it will be soon.

In the course of the coming weeks, we will post less. But we will post roughly once a week, nevertheless. We realize the importance of having your inner child massaged at least on a weekly basis.

During this time, we will not cease writing. On the contrary. Hani told us that by telling our friends (our readership) that we are only going to post once a week for the coming weeks – this is no excuse to sit on our duff and watch old re-runs of the Power Rangers. He chastised us. He said, “Write now, so that when you relaunch you’ll have a head start.”

And, well, he’s right. When we relaunch… we will strive for three consistent posts a week.
