These annual events cause the most stress. Number four will surprise you! Punday Monday 84! Comedy Open Mic 45
Welcome to Punday Monday!
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.

Here is last week's Punday Monday, and all the puns that were eligible to win this week are in the comments!

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! Furthermore, they/we’re using their SP to upvote your puns!
@curie!
We are 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.

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?

Hi improv,
Thank you for your entry in to #comedyopenmic comedy contest. We have asked the judges below to review your entry and give it a funny rating. (They generally have no sense of humor, as the saying goes, those that can't do, start contests and judge).
This will determine your ultimate position when the results are tallied. (That being said, you are free to adopt any position you wish - we can recommend pantsless with beer in hand.)

Hi White List Author!
Thanks for being part of our contest community.
Here is a 100% upvote from @contestkings

I watch the commercials during the Superbowl. It is a showcase for advertisers. A thirty second spot costs millions of dollars. CBS owns the rights to this year's NFL event, and, if I wasn't such a TIGHT END, I would buy a spot for Steemit.
...eh, not my best pun. I've been busy. So I paid my nephew good money to write it. I am certainly going to take my quarterback.
Thank you for reading and thank you for the prize.

Tom Brady is in the Superbowl again. NLF is sure the balls will not be deflated. But Tom is sure he can RAM one needle in.

Up here in Oregon, weed is legal.
Every day has a super bowl. :)
Weed is still illegal everywhere under federal law so be careful the Feds may try to ROUGH THE PASSER.

I once worked with a guy that got invited to a tryout with Tampa Bay to be their punter. I asked him if it was an enjoyable experience and he said that he got a real KICK out of it.
Oops, not really a Superbowl pun, I hope I don't get FLAGGED.
I heard that Gronk for the Patriots is so superstitious that he will not play with a broken shoelace so if it does break during the game they have to send in the SECOND STRING.
The POCKET Friday post is now up! Don't be left ON THE SIDELINES this week. Go send your favorites contributors a TOKEN of your appreciation.
I asked my daughter to go to a Superbowl party with me but she said that she does not like boy things. I was able to convince her after I promised her that the Rams were a GURLEY team.
Hey Paul what's the deal with Pocket, I don't want to put any exploding pens in it....
But I would like to find out about it....
POCKET is Steemit's first token. It was created by the great computer science professor @Biophil. There is all kinds of information about it on his blog. There is a finite supply of POCKET tokens so the value should rise over time. You can use them as a type of currency here on Steemit. There is also a market for POCKET tokens on Bitshares and that is generally where they can be purchased for the best price.
Oh and I just sent you 1000 POCKET tokens on the most recent post on your blog. :-)
