@ablaze! It was a real close one, and we had showings by several veterans, but I can’t help but agree with the audience on this one. Smashing!
Another big week with many puns! Hooray that many of our regulars are back! Hooray that new folks are finding us (SBI and COM FTW!) Huzzah! Go read them all! It’s never past payout for a laugh attack.
And what prizes do they win, you ask?
Why, as usual, all the punsters got full strength upvotes on their submissions. (WORTH $0.02! So much value!)
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!
And they all get big, exciting SBI prizes!
(@ablaze, you’ll get your POCKET Choice award from @freedomshift!)
This week's pun topic is...
Mosquito!
As in,
How do mosquitoes feel about the Olympics? They’re pro-discus.
Bada-bing! You see, they feel (and suck blood) with their proboscis. When they’re at the Olympics, they must interact with it via their pro-discus, the discus being one of the events in the Olympics.
Perfect,
I'm so good at puns....
If you've never punned before, it might seem like magic! You can do it, too! Learn how in My Free How-To Guide on Punning!
Who do I nominate for @comedyopenmic’s comedy challenge? The mosquitoes, but also @paul.atreides and @honeydue!
And, as long as I have your attention… well, this place is already saturated with people who have referral codes for various “free money” things, but here are mine!

Thank you to @matytan for the great banner
Where do teen mosquitos like to hang out?
In the mall-area.
:)
Yeah, the mall cop keeps telling them to BUG OFF but they DEET listen.
Hahaha that’s great.
Funny AND depressing!
Mosquitos suck.
They really do.
They always manage to make a PEST of themselves.
BTW, I've made you a beneficiary of the POCKET Friday post that I've scheduled for the morning via Steempeak! Isn't that fun! (I'm glad I was able to. I tried making @freewritehouse a beneficiary, too, but it didn't accept them. Do you know why?)
Awesome, thank you! Not sure why it wouldn't accept them but I'll take a STAB IN THE DARK at it, was it something they did 35 years ago as a drunken teenager?
You mean how they ran around naked yelling "freewrite" "freeeeeeeeewrite"! Probably.
I must-a-quit-oh back in the days. But when I saw your post, I knew I would bite at it again in-secs.
HA.
Great to have you back, DEET you miss us?
We missed him OFFully lots.
