@ablaze (and that’s it, so far)

and our grand prize…

The prize for best pun

Best pun of the entire week

Best Overall Pun

DRUMROLL, PLEASE

.

.

The “he” in this pun refers to the carpenter from @dollarsandsense’s puns. There was a long line of good puns from both punsters, but I can only choose one, and “cottage cheese” is my favorite!

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 $0.03! So much value! I mean, that's up by 50% since last week.)

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!

(@ablaze, you’ll get your one more SBI for the POCKET Choice award from @freedomshift!)

This week's pun topic is...

Anniversary (My anniversary is Wednesday!)

Why was everyone so impressed with the incredibly slow pianist? Because he was so good, he could play anything by year.

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? This past week’s winners, @paul.atreides, @manoldonchev, and @ablaze...

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?)
