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!

Rookie of the Week:
No rookie this week ;()oooooooo-_oo_____
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 audience members 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?

I forgot to wear sunscreen the last time I was at the Ren Faire. By the end of the day my skin was all red and blistered. When my wife saw me she just laughed and said I have "FAIRE" skin.
I asked my wife if we could go to the Renaissance Fair. She responded there was no Mead. I ensured here there was plenty of Mead and it would lead to gay old times. Not sure why I am on the couch again.
Not sure why your HONEY was is such a state of FERMENT but if you ask MEAD, I'd recommend just giving it some time and then I'm sure things will improve dramatically.
Nor am I sure. I think I missed something.

It's Punday but no post yet so new puns on this post are still FAIRE game.
I wanted to go out and see some jousting at the Faire. I called asked about it and they said that they do it, KNIGHT-LY.

You see some crazy folks at the ren faire. I saw this lady that was dressed up like a giant letter "E" and she had a big, nasty-looking dragon tail that was attached to her and dragging along in the dirt. I asked her what she was supposed to be and she said, "I'm a FAIRE-E-TALE!"
I tried to get a turkey leg at the ren faire but they were sold out. With everyone standing around and eating turkey legs in front of me it put me in a fowl mood.
My buddy has a booth at that faire.
He crafts and sells fake swords.
It's called the Forgery!
I hear about that booth, I've heard his craftsmanship is faire-ly good!
I've seen that booth too, I noted that when it comes to prices he gives you a FAIRE deal.
Nice!

Haaaaaaa. That seems real. Like there are so many punny names at ren faires. I can absolutely believe that would be one.
I grew up near there in Fontana Ca.
Corona used to be the cow town.
A perfect setting for the Ren Faire.
Eat a turkey leg for me.
no puns here
Yeeha! Come back for a visit!
100 Pundays? Congratulations! Do you think there will be a day when you've maiden ough puns?
Never!

I used to love this cartoon, The funniest times ensued when the mean Chihuahua (who was a user) would try to take advantage of his gullible good friend Stimpy when he was trying to do right thing.
Yep it was always a great time when "Ren sensed fair"!
The new one didn't go up until very late last night, but it's up now!
I used to offer everyone the same open hand. But after being burned by certian people, I started to hold back against people with more to lose ... But I got enlightened by learning to judge a person not by what's in their pocket, but what's in their heart. So you can I made a journey to Fair Renaissance....
very insightful!
Thanks for playing! A new punday monday is up now!
