Let's look at last week's contestants:

Snow, everybody

I don't think any of you will disagree with my choice this week.

BUT

It was an incredibly strong week for all participants, and I want offer a huge kudos to our new players for putting the pressure on. You all delivered. I'm proud of my team of punsters.

Also,

Where was @marcovanhassel? Anybody want to go find him on his page and make sure he knows to play this week.

The awards!

Let's reiterate:
Best pun!
Best video pun

The prize for each is an upvote from me AND a tip from @tipu on a link you send me. Furthermore, the Pocket Choice award is entered into an annual contest, which has a prize pool of 1000 POCKET.

You win yet another link getting tipped and upvoted. Send me two!

Wonderfully well done everyone.

Let's do it again!

This time your word is

As in, "When the queen wanted her sweetheart, what did she tell her iPhone? 'Siri, Call honey.'"
Get it? Bada bing! You've been punned! See, it's funny because queen ants can't use phones. No, I mean, it's funny because "Call honey" sounds like "Colony" and ants live in colonies.

Your turn!
