Rookie of the Week

This was a popular week, with lots of puns, but no newbies, unfortunately! Fortunately, we had lots of Veteran Punsters, so this prize goes to all of the punsters! Everybody gets an SBI because I’m just blown away by the sheer volume of puns!

Pocket Choice awards

Every Friday, I put up a post to solicit audience favorites! They can vote on their favorites by sending POCKET to whomever they want to win. This week’s post is here:

Muenster is a type of cheese and it sounds like “monster”. Both can be scary! Yay! I was also really impressed with the Beowulf knowledge and Dune knowledge out there.

And what prizes do they win, you ask?

Why, as usual, all the punsters got full strength upvotes on their submissions. (WORTH $0.02! So much value!)

And this time all the punsters are also getting SBI!

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 -let me know in a comment here- and a @tipu tip!

And they all get big, exciting SBI prizes!

(@dollarsandsense, you’ll get your one more SBI for the POCKET Choice award from @freedomshift!)

This week's pun topic is...

Halloween!

As in,
The ghosts of nerdy teens who died in the nineties do what to pass the time?

Listen to SKA, REAd.

...
Very Skaree, yeah? BOO!

Perfect,

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!

Who do I nominate for @comedyopenmic’s comedy challenge? This past week’s winners, @paul.atreides and @dollarsandsense...

And, as long as I have your attention… well, this place is already saturated with people who have referral codes for various “free money” things, but here are mine!

Coinbase: Cryptocurrency investment- https://www.coinbase.com/join/5929c0788331aa072d9e347e
(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?)
