Punday Monday 73! Gave away 15+ Steem worth of prizes this week! Also Comedy Open Mic Round 38!
Welcome to Punday Monday!
Our post’s formatting is new, thanks to @littlescribe! What do you think of its having become less slapdash (he says, ruining it in a slapdash fashion)?
New To Punday?
Pull up a stool, order a spiked PUNch, and get to know some of the regulars. I'm your PUNtender, @improv.
How To Make a Pun
This contest is open to everyone. Here's a handy dandy guide on how to make a pun: Learn to Pun
Rules for the PUN-test:
- If you hope to win a prize, your pun must be your original work
- Puns must be relevant to the topic of the week to win a prize, but they can be very loosely related.
Last Week's Punday Monday:
Here is last week's Punday Monday, and all the puns that were eligible to win this week are in the comments!
Hang on to your PUNderwear. The Winners of This Week's PUNday Monday Are...

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:
Gaming! (because the Thursday before Thanksgiving is Thanksgaming in our house. I hope our international audience doesn’t mind the US-centric nature of some of these holiday ones.)
As in....
I'm So Good at Puns

@comedyopenmic nomination:

Sponsors, related content, prizes, and money
Sponsors!
@improv / @freewritehouse
I mean, am I a sponsor of my own contest? Yes? I guess? Also, because I’m involved in @freewritehouse and they’ve/we’ve hosted Punday Monday events over on that page, I’d like to suggest that they (we) are also a sponsor! Regardless, check out the @freewritehouse community!
@curie!
We were one of Curie’s chosen communities! Prizes have doubled in season 2, thanks to @curie’s sponsorship! Curie curators do tremendous work making sure unrecognized authors of quality content get recognized and rewarded! They do great work sifting through the heaps of posts to find the undiscovered gems.
#CCC
@freedomshift sponsors the bonus POCKET Friday SBI award for our #ccc qualified contest posts, and he asked me to post this:
This is an Invitation to join #ccc for Guaranteed Daily Income and Payout for Newbies (2.0) in #ccc and Follow the Honor Code - the Creed (Conditions and Limits Inside)

Coinbase:
Cryptocurrency investment wallet Join HERE and we’ll both get $10 of BTC
- 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?

I don't want to have a MONOPOLY over this thread, or get into TROUBLE with the regulars, it's just that I have an insatiable urge to SPILL THE BEANS. You see, I've been working an angle on this platform, and I picked up a CLUE on how to successfully make it to the trending page. If I am correct, which I believe I am,
every post I create, starting tomorrow, will very rapidly make it to the top, and everything else in my LIFE will become a very TRIVIAL PURSUIT indeed.
What is the trick, you ask? Well, I am SORRY, but that is a secret. Even if I wanted to tell you, the RISK would be far too great. It is a very tricky OPERATION, not to be handled lightly. You may think this is just BALDERDASH, but I can assure you, it is not. I would rather not die an OLD MAID, lonely, penniless, and afraid. So although you may feel like we are comparing APPLES TO APPLES here, I'm really just doing what everyone else does on this platform...which is to say, I GO to great lengths to make sure I will succeed! Pretty soon, I will be numero UNfO.
WOW, that should LEAPFROG you right to the KING OF THE MOUNTAIN. Mix that in with your HALO and you are on a JETPACK JOY RIDE strait to the LEAGUE OF LEGENDS.
It will be an ADVENTURE and may take HALF your LIFE to JOURNEY through this SCARY MAZE of UNCHARTED puns on the HORIZON. It may be your DESTINY to use your PERSONA as a MONSTER HUNTER on this BATTLEFIELD of puns to fight the RESIDENT EVIL of the DARK SOULS trapped in the FALLOUT of these bad puns. It is a GAME OF CHOICE, will you DOOM them to a DISHONORED existence in this MOUSE TRAP of puns, or will you fulfill your FINAL FANTASY of a NIGHT IN THE WOODS far from CIVILIZATION with your GUITAR HERO? Is the RISK too great? Will it put you in JEOPARDY? I must leave off the rest of the 20 QUESTIONS as I truly do not know where they will lead but we shall have the winner a FORTNITE or two.....
Hands down, I would fulfill my final fantasy of a night in the woods far from civilization with my guitar hero. Hands down.
Pun-tastic effort!!! GUESS WHO is going to win this week? Not quite sure how you do it, would you be able to share a CLUEDO?! Go on, I've TWISTERed your arm.... How do you PAC so many in MAM?
Sorry, I'll have to leave it at that, I was supposed to be booking a weekend break for my wife and I, so gotta go now and BUCKAROOM..
The trick is simple. All you do is jump into a PORTAL 2 an alternate reality where games are part of everyday language, then come back and you've got your answers. I know, it's UNCHARTERED TERRITORY, but believe me, it'll be worth it. You'll thank me in the end of CIVILIZATION.
Just awesome! I'll be laughing myself to sleep tonight. However, there is UNO type at the end. OUIJA fix it?
I'll try. But I can't make any promises there won't be any FALLOUT or MASS EFFECTS in the resulting correction.
Did you hear about that new board game that the NRA has developed for kids? They're calling it SHOOTS AND LADDERS.
At first I didn't think I could make any more puns because all the good game names have already been taken but alas all it took was a little "concentration."
Games like Watch the grass grow or Wait for the Paint to dry are the true bored games.
Holy Smokes BATMAN, 3 x shares of Steem Basic Income!! Unreal... Thanks a million @improv, @freedomshift and @coinsandchains and all the Punday Monday heads who make this a very enjoyable weekly thing for me.. and onto this week..
Looking at @littlescribe's humdinger of an entry, I think my entry this week will need a few DRAUGHTS to perfect my post... It'll take a lot of time; I will need to stop to use the LUDO.
I've been reliably informed we will have a new punster joining us this week called @andrew, but he's a good sport, so if it's a HEAD TO HEAD between @littlescribe and @andrew, I think And-ROULETTE her win..
Sorry, that pun was CRAPS, sometimes when it comes to puns, I CAnt-SINO!!
It is true. If @littlescribe takes the cake, just know that and-roulette her win. But I'm gunna POKERound and see if I can find some evidence to the fact. Just to be sure.
The POCKET Friday train is getting ready to pull out of the station in just a few hours so don't forget to let me know if you need a TICKET TO RIDE!
I did some gaming in the past. Video gaming. It's true. There was a first person shooter a few of us got into for awhile.
There is this thing the winners do called teabagging. It is a squating motion that represents dropping your genitals on your oppenents defeated face.
I'm not against sass talk amongst competitors, but this teabagging thing is low. I mean Halo can you go?
This teabagging is nothing new. I saw it on the Battlefield 1942. It was also seen in the TeamFortress too.
Unfortunately... Once you are dead... The is no Counter Strike.
What is it called when gamers get so engrossed all day and all Fortnite in playing online that they forget to eat?
Hunger Games
Did you hear about that finger jabbing game that is sweeping the nation of Jamaica? They're calling it POKEMON.
