Rubenesque

Rubenesque

This joke, I think, would have been funnier had Layne taken Art History alongside me. I certainly though it was HI-larious, but if you’ve never heard of the famous Baroque painter, Peter Paul Rubens, it’s substantially less funny. (Though, he did think I was making a Dangeresque reference, which is equally as geeky and obscure.)

Food puns. This is not the worst of them, nor, I fear, the last of them…

Also, reubens made with cheddar instead of swiss are quite good, despite what the sandwich purists say!

    So tell me, is he a Sand-witch or a wizard? 😛

    Nope. The worst food one was the one about the bugs. I told that one to a friend several months ago, and we STILL make comments about it. “Dey said that dey taste like almonds. Dey don’t taste like almonds.”

    I must say, those of us who have studied art history appreciate the obscure art jokes all the more. I just about fell out of my chair laughing.

    You mean they will be large rounded and curvacious sandwhiches?

    Weee! new Moose Head Stew! And now I must have a reubenesque sandwich – just for comparison’s sake.

    It’s still not a Reuben. It may be a very good corned beef sandwich, but it’s not a Reuben!

    I’m a sandwich purist, what can I say?

    I’m sure eating enough of those sammies will make a person reubenesque.

    Hmm – may be because I’m European, but

    a) what is a Reuben?
    b) what kind of uncultured idiot does not know what rubenesque is? I’ve seen Rubens in art galleries and school books since primary school.

    Awesome!! I feel somewhat ashamed not to have ever made that pun before. I will rectify this at the earliest and most frequent opportunities. 🙂

    @Sabine: A Reuben sandwich has corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing, typically served on rye bread. They’re quite tasty.

    @Mugician13

    Thank you. Sounds rather…piquant. Like something cooked up by a drunk student at 3am when he only has one slice of bread left.
