You can jump in any time, and if you aren’t sure how to make a pun, here’s a handy dandy guide:

If you’re an oldtimer, welcome back! Get to know some of the whippersnappers, here, we have a craft brew for you. We’re experimenting with different grains. We like the barleys, obv., the wheat-ys… this one is corn-y. On the house:
(A robber holds up a circus. He sees the clown reaching for his lapel flower and commands, “Don’t try anything funny.”)

This week's pun topic is...

Pasta!

As in,
Why is the evil clown from IT such an expert on Italian food? Because he’s Penne-wise.

Perfect,

I'm so good at puns....

If you've never punned before, it might seem like magic! You can do it, too! Learn how in My Free How-To Guide on Punning!

Whoops, yes. I'm a week ahead. Sorry, time travel always leaves me a bit discombobulated.

I'm not SORPRESE at all. The thing about time travel is, it requires you to FARFALLE back into the space time continuum. Which doesn't help.

In fact, it can be very dangerous.

I run with this sexy Italian chick, no matter how fast I run, I can't make it pasta.

You gotta lay off the sauce! ;P

Don't worry. Next time I CANNELLONI my scooter. It'll make you a lot fasta.

Yes, it would definitely help him get PASTA but I will refrain from speculating what his friends would say if they saw him zipping around on a girl's scooter.

It is ok, even if you see an opportunity to make a controversial pun, to make a hard right turn and steer away from it. <3

King Meatball needed an interpreter for his meating with the Italian King Alfredo. He pastad a help wanted sign around town:

Looking for a smart noodle who is bi-linguinial and can take the heat of boiling international strainers. Interviews being held on my yacht at the marinara.

Oooh. Aren't we saucey. Just boiling over with pasta puns.

Another glorious Punday Monday victory! Thank you, thank you! I'm glad to see that after all these weeks, I've STELLE got it.

MANICOTTI! ...Oh wait. I'm supposed to hide? I thought YOU were doing the hiding, and I was supposed to find YOU! Sigh.

This is what it's like playing hide and seek with a... 10 month old. OMG today is his 10 month birthday! That seems so old to me.

OMG, you need to keep those private details regarding names and dates under your CAPELLINI, ORZO-m MANICOTTI gonna use it to PASSATELLI some bad checks to get some DOUGH.

@improv Thank you for not using bidbots on this post and also using the #nobidbot tag!

My mother's pasta just won first place at the State Fair! She brought home an impressive TROFIE.

I'm learning about so many pastas!

I just heard that the Houston Rockets are adding some gourmet food offerings for next season. Their feature dish is going to be CARAMELLE Anthony. Sounds like a slam dunk!
