Rookie of the Week

This was a popular week, with lots of puns, but no newbies, unfortunately! Fortunately, we had lots of Veteran Punsters, so this prize goes to all of the punsters! Everybody gets an SBI because I’m just blown away by the sheer volume of puns!

Muenster is a type of cheese and it sounds like “monster”. Both can be scary! Yay! I was also really impressed with the Beowulf knowledge and Dune knowledge out there.

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!)

And this time all the punsters are also getting SBI!

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!

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

This week's pun topic is...

Halloween!

As in,
The ghosts of nerdy teens who died in the nineties do what to pass the time?

Listen to SKA, REAd.

...
Very Skaree, yeah? BOO!

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 and @dollarsandsense...


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?)

Last year we had a party and invited all the frights!
My Dachshund hates ghost and such so we locked her in the garage.... and forgot we locked her in the garage. Yikes!

The next afternoon we found her asleep in the garage because she hadn't eaten in so long. She was truly my hollow weenie.

The party was fun though.
The skeletons told jokes and were very humerus,
The vegan zombies just wanted more Graaaiiinns,
The ghosts only came for the boos.
and the vampires told me it didn't suck.

So all in all... It wasn't the end of the world.

I lost a girlfriend at a Halloween party once...she GHOSTED me.

I hope your MUMMY didn't HOUND you for forgetting about the dog.

Another glorious Punday Monday victory! I admit my winning pun was a little CHEESY but I thought my Beowulf pun, on the other hand, KILLED IT. But who cares, a win is a win!

Like cheese, your pun was both both straightforward and complex.

Someone sent you some POCKET tokens. POCKET is an experimental sub-token system which operates on the Steem blockchain. It's like having a custom token without SMT. You can also send some to someone else by just commenting on a post with the following command: pocketsend:number_of_token@recipient_name,memo for example to send 10 tokens to @pocketjs, make a comment starting with: pocketsend:10@pocketjs,This is a gift

I am running Pocket-JS confirmer code.

Thanks! I built it with my own two hands (google paint app)

Pun about ghosts:

  1. boo

  2. disappear

  3. invisible

  4. dead

  5. i see dead people

  6. boobs, boots, booty, books, booze
    2: uh nothing 3: nothing 4: dread? 5: ICEY dead people?

Ok so it helps to pick a REALLY simple word but let's see if i got something...

Why did the ghost go to the minimart at 1 AM? He was all out of boo's.

OK so it helps a lot if you actually write it all out!!!

You must be gravely expensive, because of your corpse values!

Haha good one! But more like: why did the US Marine have a conscience? He had corpsvalues :p

No, yeah, I figured. Of corpse.

Posted using Partiko Android

You did it! Hoooraaaayyyyy!

Posted using Partiko Android

Haha it feels good!

Congrats to everyone!!!
Why does the moon not like wolves?

Because they are always HOWL-WEENing at her.

What did the social media prankster do on Halloween? He went TRICK OR TWEETING.

grooooaaaannn

I always used to get more candy than my big brother on All Hallows' Eve but our dad was a dentist and only let us keep 10 pieces each so it was a HALLOW victory.
