Really, Really, REALLY Bad Polygon Pictures and Puns
One could argue that I titled this post “Really, Really, REALLY Bad Polygon Pictures and Puns” as a cynical ploy to get people to read it. Can anybody really resist looking at something THAT bad?
Probably not. Look how many truly awful movies have gone on to become huge cult classics. “Plan 9 From Outer Space,” for example. Or “Killer Klowns From Outer Space.” Or “Rocky Horror Picture Show.”
But the featured photo alone should be proof that, in this case, I mean business. It is a tall, skinny quadrangle that has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. But I did have to give my QUADS a workout to get up to that quadrangle and I think I quadrupled my stupidity by even taking a picture of it. (See what you’re in for if you continue reading this?)
For some reason I always thought it was Oscar Wilde who famously said, “the pun is the lowest form of wit.” Just now, I consulted Google and learned it was first written by an English playwright named John Dennis. That was 300 years ago. That made me feel pretty LOW — until I read a little further and learned Dennis added, “it is therefore the foundation of all wit.”
And the picture coming up next should prove to be the foundation of a DIMWIT.
With that, I conclude my search for polygons this month. That’s it. I’ve found every single polygon there is to find in MY Town.
But I’ll probably be back with something else this month . . . if I can think of anything.

Hi. My name is Greg and I ride my bike a lot. That is to say, I ride my bike almost every day. I go on long rides and short rides. Sunny rides, cloudy rides, and rainy rides. I like commuting, errand-running, day-tripping, overnighting, and touring on my bike. I ride on city streets, highways, gravel, single track, and snow with equal enthusiasm. Sometimes I ride fast and sometimes I ride slow. I try to keep my feet on the pedals at stop lights and I do not dismount when I hop up on a curb. I have a roadie bike, a mountain bike and a touring bike. I try to accept any challenge a bike ride can throw at me without complaint. But I don't like bugs.

An icosogon! Congratulations just for knowing the right name for it. And great shot of Mr Bing Bong in goal. Or is that in gaol?
Tons of fun puns!
Nice mullions and muntins too!
“Icosagon” was one of three things I had to Google while posting this. I’m not that smart. I liked your GAOL pun a lot, sir.
Very creative use of puns and polygons – nice job! I am of the opinion that the Rocky Horror Picture Show is one of the worst movies to ever grace this earth. I like your post much better.
I agree about the horror of “Rocky Horror Picture Show,” even though I do appreciate a lot of campy humor. (For example, I am a big fan of the old Batman TV series with Adam West.) Thank you for saying you like my post much better than “Rocky Horror Picture Show.” Small praise is better than no praise.
“Rocky Horror Picture Show.” not a good movie, you can’t be serious. It’s quirky, weird and deliciously outrageous.
Yes, it is all of those things, but “quirky, weird, and deliciously outrageous” does not necessarily make a good piece of film-making. Sometimes it does though — check out “Blue Velvet” or “Fargo.”
RHPS is fun though, dancing, singing etc. you either get it or you don’t I suppose.
I admit there are a few places where it does get quiet but overall great.
We had cinemas here where everyone would dress up as the characters and watch the movie at midnight.
I’m feeling this is so educational. I’m learning a whole bunch of new names for polygons. By the way, our favorite bad movie is Tremors. Only the first one with Kevin Bacon. All the sequels are awful, and not in a good way.
I’ve never seen “Tremors,” though I have heard of it. I might have to check it out. I’ve always thought Kevin Bacon was an under-rated actor.
