Welcome to Punday Monday!
Hi everybody!
Welcome to Hive!
Punday Monday will now be exclusively on Hive!
This is my yearly reminder that I design geeky t-shirts

And, so long as we’re all in Quarantine, let’s play games together: https://boardgamearena.com/?h=1ecish
tl;dr
make a pun about the topic of the week,
the topic is Groceries,
here's how to make a pun, if you don't know: @improv/puns-and-prizes-learn-to-pun-easy-fun-anybody-can-be-a-hit-at-parties
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!
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:

Where is everyone else?
And What Prizes Do They Win, You Ask?

Will it become HIVE Basic Income? Hm. Branding is tough. Maybe something generic? We’ll find out! For now, it’s still called that, but is on Hive!
I’ll sponsor each qualified entrant for two SBI levels each week! Each winning entry will get an additional two SBI!
Our entrants were:
@acolucky, @jk6276, @theabsolute

@acolucky!
This Week's Pun Topic Is:
Groceries
As in,
The giant toilet paper bundles are gone. That’s a big t-issue!
Awesome joke. Nonetheless, I think you can do better.
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!
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! It’s #HIVE-161155
