There was a thing on Twitter where Bell.ca decided to raise money for mental health awareness by donating five cents for every use of the hashtag “BellLetsTalk”. Author Guy Gavriel Kay turned this into an excuse for puns, since he has a long-standing love of punnery. He solicited puns on the hashtag, and he got a lot of fun, creative ones in return.
This was mine:

And a few minutes later, Mr. Kay responded (which I then retweeted with added exclamation at the front):
WOO HOO! RT @guygavrielkay @Jaquandor Oh, yes! Legend + baseball + linguistic inversion + pun? Let's hear it for Mr Sedinger! #BellLetsTalk

Yup. I retire tonight with the warm glow of accomplishment!
How cool is that!
