Welcome rookie of the week, @ddschteinn! Thanks for making a long story pun! Do you know they're called shaggy dog stories? I learned that from Isaac Asimov.

@antimetica! You pie sow!...t.
And what prizes do they win, you ask?
Why, as usual, all the punsters got full strength upvotes on their submissions.
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...
In honor of the USA getting next Monday off,
Holiday!
As in,
Why can you never go on vacation at the library? Because all the rooms are booked!
Perfect,
I'm so good at puns....

Mr. Johnson took his cat Pickles to the beach in Fort Lauderdale for two weeks at Christmas last year. Pickles really enjoyed the ocean. Cavorting in the waves, chasing the shore birds, picking up dead fish and things, running full speed at the water's edge, and finally leaping and shaking sand all over the oily sun-bather's in their chaise lounges.
You can imagine how surprised Mrs. Johnson was when her husband and Pickles pulled up into the driveway back home a week earlier than originally planned. "You two aren't supposed to be home for another week. What on earth happened?"
To which Mr. Johnson replied, in a rather terse voice, "I never DID believe in Sandy Claws."
@ddschteinn I love this. I imagine Mr. Johnson with a very stiff upper lip.
Ha haa, pretty sure that upper lip could be used as a Gerbil surfboard. He might even border a bit on crotchety. Thanks, glad you enjoyed another stab at punnery. It is rather fun (nery)
@ddschteinn There's another now! I just put up this week's!
Wait what?!?! @ddschteinn was here?
The man is a legend!
I've been taking too much time off of steemit so I could eat some eggs benedict.
What?!
It's my hollandaise!
@doctorcrypto
HAAA! And glad you're back!
Ha haaa. Thanks for the shout out. I thought I responded to this already, but I guess not. Talk about getting lost in the morass. These are a lot of fun, arent' they? Eggs benedict, ya crack me up. Have a lovely rest of the 'hollandais' today. Nuarrt, nuarrt...
Thank you so much! I missed it a hectic week I do need a holiday so...
What's a minimalist's worst vacation? Going to Santa Cruz
tah dum dum
weak! haha
Not weak, but you gotta explain it!
I was going for some local flavor referencing Santa Cruz, California it's pretty hipster and the antithesis of minimalist aesthetic and then pulling a combo with American consumerism and santa clause Christmas excess. And then Cruise vacation lol
@antimetica Got it!
SO MANY LAYERS!
@antimetica Yayaaya
I'm heading to the alps skiing this year on my holidays. I'm hoping to have a laugh with my mates,but if they don't make me laugh, the alps are hill-areas I suppose
ALL OF THESE ARE SO GOOD!
Thanks man!!
@ablaze You're WELCOME
@ablaze Like I said...
I just won one million quid on the horses. Was trying to decide where to go on holiday to celebrate...
There's Norway I'm going to Oslo anyway, it's far too cold..
Maybe I'll stay at home in Ireland and go to the casino, I'd have a good chance of Dublin my money!
I have it... I'll go to the United States... It better not be cold. Alaska local before I go to make sure..
Lol, omg I like all the puns you dropped off, but these are the best. Who'd have thunk to use actual names. :)
pocketsend:0300@ablaze because I honestly could not pick just one of yours. :)
Hope I did that correctly, as I have never done so as of yet. :)
Nearly. But the first thing you say has to be the pocketsend command.
Thanks a million @pixiehunter :o) You're so good..
@ablaze ALL OF THESE, SO GOOD
Cheers man!! Really appreciate that :o)
@ablaze You're welcome. They were particularly exceptional this week.
Just thought of another one... Last one I promise :o)
The wife nearly had a Canary when I mentioned we're going to Lanzarote for our holidays this year.....
@ablaze SO GOOD
I tried to pun the phrase "three day weekend." I have no Memorial why.
@acolucky Haaaaa
