Pull up a stool, order a spiked PUNch, and get to know some of the regulars. I'm your PUNtender, @improv.
How To Make a Pun
This contest is open to everyone. Here's a handy dandy guide on how to make a pun: Learn to Pun
Rules for the PUN-test:
- If you hope to win a prize, your pun must be your original work
- Puns must be relevant to the topic of the week to win a prize, but they can be very loosely related.
Last Week's Punday Monday:
Here is last week's Punday Monday, and all the puns that were eligible to win this week are in the comments!
Hang on to your PUNderwear. The Winners of This Week's PUNday Monday Are...

Rookie of the Week:
@true2bigblue! Welcome to the punderdome!
Pocket Choice Awards:
I am of the opinion that there are four responses to creative works one doesn’t like.
Constructive criticism. Help them get better!
Useful review. Help an audience know which of them will like and which won’t like this piece.
Outdo them. Demonstrate to yourself and others what “good” looks like.
Keep it to yourself.
There is, however, only one way to respond to creative work one DOES like.
Send them POCKET.
What pun was your favorite?

You may have heard my cousin Jerry G. and my Rich S. (@richatvns) have both been dieting. But rich is getting light faster and is whooping it up unnecessarily! Thus proving that everything that shines is not Gold and it could actually be a Dick Silver, man.
Yea their names are Jerry Gold and Richard Silverman that was my Bright idea!
As I've mentioned in the past I have read alot of sci-fi and fantasy.
But, I'm definately not into horror and blood though, since a little kid it gives me nightmares.
Vampire books are some of the worst, especially the ones where they are able to walk around in the sun. If I come across one in a book, immediately I put it down and don't continue reading it.
So I had the not so Bright idea to read a fan fiction sci-fi story from the early 60s about a cigarette smoking blond beauty hollywood starlet
It was the fastest I ever put down a book. It literally started out with: "Doris had run out of matches for cigarettes. So she sent her assistant out on a quest for a Day lighter!"
I have a little history lesson about the very famous smartest riverboat gambler in the old west Slippery Sly Barton. The day came that he was caught cheating at Bridge by elevating cards above thier usual ranks .
And that's when across the nation the headlines "Brite Bart is Bad News pretends Trump Lies are true!".
Haaaaaaa

Whoops, thanks. Forgot to edit that image! The words are right, just that picture was wrong. I'll send you a thank-you SBI shortly!

Just sent the SBI! Thanks again for proofreading!

Wow, an SBI for proofreading, how generous.....and by the way you had me roaring with laughter from the "Incan descent" line about!
PS - I don't think "uncle" needs to be capitalized.
Right you are! Here's an SBI for you, too!

Yes you do!

But seriously, I like that you now use a random word generator. It allows for transparency over the process of picking the topic of the week. Even if shedding light on the method also means we stop benefitting from your arbitrary but enlightened ideas.

Another glorious Punday Monday victory! Here's my post:

I had a broken flashlight so I took it to the local fix-it guy, Lou. He took care of it and now it is very bright because good ole LOU MENDS.
My daughter was in the school play as a little fairy all covered in glitter. Poor thing had so much stage fright that she just stood in one place under spotlight frozen for the whole show. When we got home my wife asked how she did and I said, "She really shined!"
Here is a mini flashlight review for you. I love the S1R baton from Olight. It is small, powerful, rechargeable, and it has a magnetic charger base. Overall, I would have to say that it is brilliant!
I forgot to mention that the pocket clip is fashioned so that it can also slide onto the brim of your baseball cap to become a headlamp, such a bright idea.
I got that flashlight last Christmas from Santa, I was so happy I was BEAMING.
