Archons? Mesons? Pynchons?

Yo Dude,
                 I gotta tellya you made me laugh: not a polite snicker, nor 
a mere chortle, but a full-fledged belly laugh.  You deserve an award worthy 
of such a joke.  I can't think of an item that would do your joke justice.  
Maybe a beautifully bound edition of the Oxford English Dictionary (two 
volumes), from which, upon opening it, spring-loaded Punchinellas explode.  
But anyhow, I hereby award thee with the First (hence forward) Annual Shaggy 
Pynch Award, for best joke on-list.  It was so well set up, and caught me so 
off-guard, I guffawed -- and I am not one to guffaw lightly.
