New To Punday?

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:

@emergehealthier!

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?

And What Prizes Do They Win, You Ask?

  • Full Strength, 100% Upvote!

Why, as usual, all the punsters got full strength upvotes on their submissions from @improv. This week they also got votes from @freewritehouse! They will next week, too! Together, these upvotes could total in excess of five whole cents!

  • 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:
@doctorcrypto, @acolucky, @emergehealthier, @paul.atreides, @gregan, @theartofori, @theabsolute
Our winners get bonus prize SBI for winning!


@doctorcrypto, @emergehealthier (twice!)

  • @improv 100% upvote to the post of your choice

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 (subject to @improv’s discretion)

This Week's Pun Topic Is:

Spider (given to me by @stinawog)

As in, where do millennial spiders live? They’re residents of the world wide web.

Awesome joke. Nonetheless, I think you can do better.

What a great topic, this week I am calling out all of our old time punsters that we haven't seen in awhile. I'm looking at you, @professorbromide, @tcpolymath, @miniature-tiger, @lilygolightly, @chrisroberts, @littlescribe, @ablaze, @coinsandchains, @dollarsandsense, and @richatvns. This week of all weeks I expect our winner to be a RECLUSE.

Also, I happen to be involved in distributing a new Steem Engine token called TULIP. It will be used in an upcoming game that kicks off later this week called, Tulipmania. I am trading these new tokens for POCKET tokens at a rate of 100 Tulip tokens for 20 POCKET tokens. There is a limit of 100 TULIPs per person. Details can be found here:

We're so glad you're punning! See you around @freewritehouse!

I was trying to peep on a local cutie from a tree across the street, but the tree was full of insects, and as soon as eye spider, I fell out of the tree.

We're so glad you're punning! See you around @freewritehouse!

Thank you for the SBI! Here is my entry for this week.

The itsy bitsy spider climbed up Google’s home office; she wanted her website to be the highest on Google. She frequently spun new material to grow the website larger. She prided herself on her ability to isolate bugs and fed her passion by removing them.

We're so glad you're punning! See you around @freewritehouse!

I went to the university science department and asked to see their spiders. "I have to write a pun," I told them, "and I need to immerse myself in their habits."

I argued for half a day. They called me absurd and obnoxious, but I wouldn't back down. Is it Lab A," I demanded. "Is is Lab C? Where do you keep them?

Finally, one of the interns sighed and pointed down the corridor, "E lab, alright?"

(Elaborate)

We're so glad you're punning! See you around @freewritehouse!

I was at a scenic lookout once.
There was a machine that let you look through it like binoculars.

So I looked through..and across the way I saw the woman that I knew was the one for me.
I raced over and introduced myself. We fell madly in love and married.
Years later she still doesn't know that it is all possible because of the...
"Spied Her"

We're so glad you're punning! See you around @freewritehouse!

I found Charlotte's Web under my son's bed last night. It was great, really brought me back to my childhood. Though the sticky threads I'm used to had me hallucinating messages that a little spider wrote. I wrapped up several joints but it didn't have any legs to stand on

We're so glad you're punning! See you around @freewritehouse!

This is amazing. Another Monday and boom! Winning.
Nice job to @emergehealthier for really cutting down the competition.

Thank you and congratulations to you also.
