@ramkid “I found No’s body there” is the end of a Bond movie.

[mahatma gandalf @narayan140]

@ramkid Your cat is clearly a Sanskrit scholar trapped in a feline body. Gemini on ṁ: “Indic Languages (Sanskrit/Pāli): In transliteration standards like IAST, it represents the anusvāra. This acts as a post-vocalic nasalization (a nasal sound, typically a generic nasal or m/n sound).”

[mahatma gandalf @narayan140]

@aparanjape @SridharanAnand Sure … but are those kangaroo names?

[mahatma gandalf @narayan140]

@ramkid Was “Panama, sala!” taken? How about the more risqué “sPank ma s ala mode”?

[mahatma gandalf @narayan140]

@ramkid I’ll work as long as the title is Chef Executive Officer

[mahatma gandalf @narayan140]

@ramkid No good. Yes. No, cats are benign dictators.

[mahatma gandalf @narayan140]

@ramkid Still not sure if “niche” refers to something very narrowly specialized or an indication that a stat alert is below.

@NarayanRangaraj The theme of that puzzle was kangaroo words, inspired by my name.

[mahatma gandalf @narayan140]

@NarayanRangaraj The entire phrase MAHATMA GANDHI’S MESSAGE was the backbone of a crossword puzzle that a friend of mine and I had built many years ago. GANDHI’S MESSAGE would’ve fit the theme but it was the wrong length for our needs.

@ramkid @adman_i @vinaychindu Speaking of missed opportunities, where is U2 doing “Unday, bloody unday”?

[mahatma gandalf @narayan140]

@adman_i @ramkid @vinaychindu I hate to say this but this entire thread of puns was lacking that eggs factor

[mahatma gandalf @narayan140]

@ramkid Without AI you’re Rmk.

[mahatma gandalf @narayan140]

@ramkid I refuse to respond with the obvious punchline about Chinese names that your setup line tees up.

[mahatma gandalf @narayan140]

@ramkid The X logo was based on the rating that they were going for

@aparanjape @mazeincoding that was written by cHATgpt

@bhogleharsha, please tell @Jaspritbumrah93 to shred the English batting tomorrow by bowling a few yorkers. The New York Times doesn’t think “york” works as a verb.

[mahatma gandalf @narayan140]

@ramkid I could never decide if TAB was short for “table” or if it was referring to the “tabs” that you mounted on the ruler and that determined where to skip to. Maybe this was just an incestuous bunch of words.

[mahatma gandalf @narayan140]

@ramkid That was only because they hadn’t invented the Alt key then. I tried explaining how it would work to my typewriter class instructor but he used the CAPS LOCK key when he replied so I gave up.

[mahatma gandalf @narayan140]

Thanks for forwarding, @aparanjape !

Are there other ways?
