Our Volcano trip over, we returned to our hosts’ house to prep for the beach trip on Monday ( it’s all go, you know).
In the absence of any major travel news, how about reviving our Painful Puns section – with an island and/or volcanic 🌋 theme this time ? Bonus points if they involve any artistic reference ( book, song, band name)..
A few to kick us off :
- Tectonic (Blondie)
- Crime and Pumicement
- Those Magma-ificent Men in their Flying Machines ( one for Steve )

Looking forward to some even worse suggestions in the comments section 😎

Psycho Kilauea, keska say,
F-f-f-, FIRE, F-F-F-F Fire, Fire 🔥
Lava n’ Affection – Joan Armatrading
Ca Plane Pour Moi by P(yroc)lastic Bertrand
Brilliant ! There’s some strange synergy going on because the Joan A one also occurred to us last night …
Hey Hey We’re the Mauna Ikis (actually Theme from The Mauna Ikis) by the Mauna Ikis
Truly tortuous. Bonus points for both song AND artist !
Been away so just catching up on the magnificent blog
“Hawaii the lads” by the St James mens choir
Or a duet between Bruce Springsteen and Sting “don’t stand so close. I’m on fire”
Yeah ! And didn’t the St James choir go by the name of Tsunami ? Something like that anyway
Late to the party (and probably should never have been invited)…
Lava tube is easy ‘cos you’re butane-full, and every day of my life is spent in lava tube (Mini eRuppertion; not a scientist)
Marvellous stuff Dave – and who cares about scientific accuracy if it stands in the way of contrived wordplay ?
You got me thinking about one from the volcano’s point of view when contemplating an eruption :
” Should I spray, or should I flow ?”
If I spray there will be trouble… if I flow there will be double…
So you’ve got to let me know – should I cool it, or should I blow ?😎🌋
