Blog Guy, a couple of weeks ago you featured a rebus in your blog. How about another one?
Rebus? You mean that Roman guy who was the brother of Romulus?
No, you dimwit. Not Remus, REBUS!
Oh, you mean Uncle Rebus, that guy with the “Br’er Rabbit” stories.
You really are a simpleton! That’s Uncle Remus. I’m talking about a rebus, which is a puzzle where pictures suggest a word or a phrase. You did one, and it was fun.
Well, who knew there was a word for it? Okay, I have some photos here I’m not using for anything, so let’s see if my readers can solve the puzzle.
But the answer better not be “briar patch,” because that would make me right about Uncle Rebus!

Well no, that’s not how it’s supposed to work, where somebody comes up with the right answer a minute and a half after the competition starts.
I guess I’m going to have to either create harder puzzles, or shoot for stupider readers. Actually, that second option sounds easier.

- Posted by Robert BaslerWell, a pun is the lowest form of humor, according to some guy that wrote for the Merriam Webster Dictionary, years ago.
Now we are being accused of being neanderthal type low brows?
The apple doesn’t fall from the tree, I suppose?
Or should I have typed out a few really punny lines?
Haw haw haw snarf!
I made a funny, ma!
And nowadays, the class clowns are thought to have ADHD?

If it makes you feel any better Bob, my best guess was ‘Alcoholic heart chopper’.
