HAPPY TWEAKSGIVING!
So I'm at work a couple of weeks ago, waiting for a new project to start, and there's a delay. A co-worker tells me the supervisors are probably tweaking the project. "Either that or they're just tweaking," I joke. This somehow leads to a handful of 'tweak' puns, then I get on a roll, and eventually we have buried ourselves in an avalanche of 'tweak' puns.
I have since compiled over 300 of them, and I have decided to post them here in what I am calling Tweaksgiving 2007. I tried to group similar ones together, and I've included explanations for some of the more obscure references.
Enjoy, if you can! (And if you think of any good ones I may have missed, please feel free to send them to me at askduckpond2007@sacbeemail.com.)
