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...

Rookie of the Week:

No rookies this week!

Pocket Choice Awards:

I am of the opinion that there are four responses to creative works one doesn’t like.

  1. Constructive criticism. Help them get better!
  2. Useful review. Help audience members know which of them will like and which won’t like this piece.
  3. Outdo them. Demonstrate to yourself and others what “good” looks like.
  4. Keep it to yourself.

There is, however, only one way to respond to creative work one DOES like.

  1. Send them POCKET.

What pun was your favorite?

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

There's so much to be said about physics puns.

"An atom loses an electron in a bar. Are you sure? Yes, positive."

"Your Higgs Boson is giving me a Large Hadron"

But those have all been said.

):) Schrodinger's emoticon

"You matter because you energy"

"Distanceraptor/timeraptor=velociraptor"

"You know what they say about black holes... Once you go black, you never come back"

Said before

Here are my originals:

I know with how much my mom used to sleep around, I know I came into existence by a big bang.

Your Mama's so big, when she went ice skating I thought she was demonstrating Kepler's law of planetary motion.

Pluto should have never been demoted as a planet. I thought women always said that size doesn't matter?

When his wife caught the physicist at the strip club, he told her he was just working on G-string theory
