Men at Arms: Punes within Punes within Punes
Men at Arms is one of those transitional books in the Discworld series. I’ll be talking about that at length in this month’s second Patreon episode, which you will receive as usual if you are a $10/month subscriber, or if you just have to have it you can send me ten bucks by PayPal and I’ll send it to you.
Today though I’m discussing a single sentence from the book which highlights the way Sir Terry crafted the puns he put in the Discworld books. The sentence in question just stopped me in my tracks as I was re-reading Men at Arms.
If you have thoughts about this experiment in three-minute podcasting, please shoot me an email at [email protected]. I’d love to hear from you; I will answer you; and if you are a first-time emailer I’ll include a recording of the Clacks episode with my reply. That’s the only way you can get a copy of the Clacks episode, short of using a second email addy and a fake name!
You are also cordially invited to come join our Discord community, Friends of Medieval Gnome Productions! Just go to the main Discord page and search “Friends of Medieval Gnome Productions.” Alternatively, you can use this link: https://discord.gg/45JxBKUYuA. Btw, it costs nothing to join the server, and there’s a lot of exclusive content on there, plus the opportunity to interact with other Pratchett fans, and participate in our Discord person, place or thing challenge. Sort of like 20 questions, and lots of fun.
You can also pop onto our Patreon page if you’re in the mood to underwrite the efforts of Medieval Gnome Productions (or just want to see some more exclusive content). There’s also patron-only content there. Here’s the URL.

I also ask that you consider sending a one-time PayPal payment to [email protected]. Our listenership, alas, is shrinking, as are our Patreon supporters. If you don’t want to commit to a monthly subscription, please think seriously about a one-time PayPal donation. Even the price of a latte will help with our expenses.
