@acolucky! A pun that spans three words and still makes sense! What creativity!
Another big week with many puns! I’m so proud of our veteran punsters! You all are consistently hilarious, and you should have plaques on your walls that say so. If you didn’t read last week’s, go read them all! It’s never past payout for a laugh attack. I’m also proud of you all for interacting so beautifully and humorfully and supportively. YOU ARE GREAT.
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! I mean, considering HF20 and last week...really, it is.)
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 -let me know in a comment here- and a @tipu tip!
And they all get big, exciting SBI prizes!
(@diebitch, you’ll get your POCKET Choice award from @freedomshift!)
NEXT WEEK'S PRIZES WILL BE BIGGER!
Punday Monday has received 32 STEEM from @curie to increase our prize pool for the next several weeks! That means winners of this contest will receive not one, but 2 SBI! Rookie of the Week (so if you're new, get in here!) will win 2 SBI from @improv. POCKET Choice Award winner will still win 1 SBI from @freedomshift, but now also 2 SBI from @improv! Our overall best pun will receive 2 SBI from @improv!
Remember, our POCKET Choice Awards are the PEOPLE'S Award. That's part of why they will now be receiving an even larger award. IF YOU WANT TO VOTE, A) Check out Friday's POCKET Punday Post and B) see someone with POCKET (notably, @biophil, @paul.atreides, or myself) to get yourself some.
This week's pun topic is...
Home! (I’m home)

Everybody feels comfortable in our house because here it’s ok! We don’t censor! Feel free! It’s Say fffffffffff-

Who do I nominate for @comedyopenmic’s comedy challenge? This past week’s winners, @paul.atreides, @diebitch, and @acolucky...
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!
Coinbase: Cryptocurrency investment- https://www.coinbase.com/join/5929c0788331aa072d9e347e
(Hot tip, I buy BTC on pro.coinbase.com, then send it to bittrex to trade for Steem and send steem to my wallet here. It’s the most efficient way with the fewest fees I’ve found. If you’ve found better, let me know. - I learned from someone else that buying LTC and sending it to bittrex then trading it for BTC then trading that for STEEM is the least-fees way. Can someone confirm?)

POCKET Choice award winner, woohoo!! Thank you, thank you! Looks like I POCKETED a few too many tokens this week. If anyone wants some POCKET tokens to use for the contest just let me know and I can send some to your HOME. Also, is there any way that the winning puns from the previous week can be copied and pasted into the Punday Monday post? This way new people could get a chuckle and an example of what a winning pun looks like and they would not have to go searching for them in the old post.
That's a good suggestion, and one I was doing before my child was born. I'll definitely try to do it more often. Too much lately I've been feeling harried on Mondays. But I will try to plan ahead and give myself the time to do everything!
Where are all my HOMIES this week?
'Perhaps we should still explain homing missiles do not build houses?'
'Nah, give it time, it will come home to them.'
:)
pocketsend:[email protected], I go into more detail in the post about what all this POCKET is for. I hope you'll take on the challenge!

Thanks for using POCKET! I am small bot and I am running this confirming code.
Thank you. Good to be back in the highlights. https://steemit.com/punchline/@acolucky/a-fascinating-series-of-words
I have not read the classics in a while but I remember that Odysseus tried desperately to return to Ithaca after the Battle of Troy. I guess you'd call him a HOMER.
A firend of mine told me that a man's home is his castle... I guess he's right in a MANOR of speech!
Ha!
For a lark, let me hop in the fray. Well, to be fair, I'd duck down if I saw a bear wave. I will stay in this home-I'm-in just to be safe.
True genius! I'm so glad you found time to MONKEY around with us this week.
