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...

Rookie of the Week:

No rookies!

Our chain switch was not bloodless

I don’t expect POCKET will be supported on this new chain, as the developer, @biophil, hasn’t been seen or heard from in a long long time.

Anyone could start running POCKET confirm bots, and update the code for Hive, I’m sure, but considering that I was the only one left using POCKET, I rather doubt it will happen.

If it does, I am happy to resurrect POCKET Friday. But for now...

I’ll leave this in case these folks are still active, see the tag, and want the reminder to join in again:

@jk6276! I especially like the terribleness of “sprint out the instructions”

This Week's Pun Topic Is:

Newspapers
As in,
Cats read the Mewspaper.

Awesome joke. Nonetheless, I think you can do better.

I'm So Good at Puns

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! It’s #HIVE-161155
