Perhaps because of the attention I threw to the awards, we only had one submission. Luckily is was a good one! Congrats to @acolucky! You won all the awards!

Let’s hope there’s a good turnout this week!

Awards for last week, yo!

(and stop on by @freewritehouse for some different award possibilities, lots of prizes being given out there...!)

@acolucky

And what prizes do they win, you ask?

Why, as usual, all the punsters got full strength upvotes on their submissions.

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 and a @tipu tip!

This week's pun topic is...

Summer!

As in,
Why do students wear scarves in the summer? Because theirs nose cool.

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!
