Happy PUNday!

As you know, everyone is welcome to participate. There are no entry fees, like resteem or upvote requirements. To play, you just have to pun! If you don't know how, here's a handy-dandy guide: https://steemit.com/contest/@improv/puns-and-prizes-learn-to-pun-easy-fun-anybody-can-be-a-hit-at-parties

Last week's puns can be found here:

They had to pun about "ant". Mostly people just used the word "ant", though it would have certANTly been possible to pun with other things that are about ants.

I am pleased as punch to be able to welcome @baus85 to our team of punsters! He also gave us a relevANT joke in German!
(and it only works in German, which is a great delight to me...I guess there are dialects where anteaters are called antbears, but not around here.)

Some crossover in the "people who enjoy puns" population and the "people who enjoy Game of Thrones" population.

and let us not forget the POCKET Choice Awards!

@paul.atreides for ANTifanta!

It's a drink, a political movement, AND a pun!!!

HUZZAH!

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. Last week's POCKET choice winner was @heroic15397! So now there's a pool of two possible winners!

This week's pun subject

will be determined a little differently. Instead of choosing an entirely random word, I'll be choosing a random spooky word! It's Halloween season!


So that's your pun topic: clowns. They don't have to be scary.

ALSO BONUS!

Please submit to me any spooky (or otherwise Halloween-related - they could be horror-comedy) stories you come across during your Steemit time, whether you wrote them yourself or you just found them! If we have a few good ones, next week's punning might come from one of those stories, and I'll feature the story in the game post!
