Don't get mad, get even. Winning Punday Monday 98 is a dish best served cold.
Welcome to Punday Monday!
@freewritehouse has launched a fundraiser! The Freewrite House creates an atmosphere of supportive goofiness on Steem that helps me get through each day.

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.

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:
Only veterans, but glad to have you all back!
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.

SBI
Which are little bitty upvotes on all your content forever. See @steembasicincome for details. I’ll send one to all of our qualified entrants this week!
Our entrants were:
@acolucky, @doctorcrypto, @richatvns, @paul.atreides, @soma.unony, @cyrus33

Congrats, @richatvns, @acolucky
Our category winners will each get to choose a post (of their own or someone else's) and I will give that post a fully powered upvote and a @tipu tip!
This Week's Pun Topic Is:
Achieve
Why are overachievers so interested in hiring production assistants who worked on Gravity while smoking pot?
Because they really want to have a high G. P.A.

It took me years, but I can now converse with my Scandinavian friends. It feels good to finally Finnish this task.
Thank you.
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@acolucky/keys
Do you know what they call prep schools in Finland? They call them Finnishing schools.
I've been playing around with this Finnish pun for awhile. Maybe I'll do Moscow next. Well... I'm not russain in to any changes just yet.
So glad you're writing freewrites with us! You read about the fundraiser @improv is hosting for us, yeah?
Thanks. I've been voting your posts. But I do not goal in.
(That's go all in for you achievement punsters.)
Hyuk hyuk
Looking at @ rich & doc It looks like the recipes for success they had used to little yeast. Because they didn't rise to success. Yep, they really are half baked. And as you can tell I do the best food allegories, but this was a con's test about puns. So I'm going sit down here behind bars with an online exam on vulgarity and have a celebration drink of toilet whine, but I won't wine about it!
That's beautiful royal FLUSH on your banner image. Goes well with toilet wine. ;)
Come on over to our blog for more goofballs!
The opposite of achieving is to suck-cease-foul.

The opposite of successful is hatchet-heaving and awl-full.
I like to put small green onions on my baked potato.
It is quite the A chivement.
If you want to get fancy, you can put goat cheese on it too.
This lets you A chevre a wonderful tasting treat.
I'm the head boss now at my small restaurant.
It goes to show, you never know what you are going to A Chief.
Good heavens

Triple threat!
I won & I won...
I was on a roll, So I decided to try trifecta. by Trying to reward myself by downing some KFC. Now there an interesting story about Kentucky Fried Chicken when I was a child I loved to eat it. It wasn't often but it was a special treat. As I grew I went to eating lots of different cuisines and really stayed away from fast food. I hadn't had KFC in a few years went to try it and got violently ill literally within 20 mins of eating it. So I didn't try it for a couple of years, Then I had the hankering and tried it again with the same results. So now I kept retrying it every 4 or 5 years with the massive disappoints of the repeat of past history each time. So it's been 8 years since my last attempt, but I am my healthiest I have been in the last 8 years. So I figured would go for it.... As you guessed it I went over the top and had a massive Ache & heave.....

Glad you're punning regularly!
I had this great teacher in high school. When ever we would answer a questions correctly in class she would reward us with an Altoid. She said it was an achieve-mint.
Sounds tasty. You know what else is tasty? The brains of freewriters. Come on over! We're delicious!
We only ever got stars. Lucky! ;P
This week's topic is tough. I could probably think of a pun but it would be a REACH.
My grandma just won a blue ribbon at the county fair for her cheesecake. She worked hard perfecting her recipe so it was quite an A-CHEESE-Ment.
It was quite a surprise when young Arthur became King but he somehow managed to PULL IT OFF.
