as the joke that wasn't a pun. Or what do you call those things? They probably have some name that only the more than 42% nerds know.

Yes Bob, thanks for running the contest. But really - mutation for mute Haitian wasn't the biggest groaner? I field tested it and literally got groans from people.

I hate to be a spoil-spore, I mean Bob may be a Fungi, but these puns have mushroomed out of all proportion.

"And of course, the award for biggest groin stretcher (a two-fisted award) goes to Pop,"
That prize is mine, and the judge said there is no changing his mind. Just because I am higher on the food chain is no reason to try and take away my just rewords.

No, I meant just rewords, because many pus are rewordings, but I am kicking myself for missing "Jest."
I was talking to the kids in math class today. They were really being obstinate, so I really had to work hard to sell division.

Dagonee really did deserve an award for this one:
quote:Meanwhile, the mail boy from Port-Au-Prince can’t say anything – he’s a mutation.
Even if it was buried inside of a post that also got an award, and was sandwiched between two layers of repeats stolen from others.

Bob, all puns aside for just one second, thanks for a contest where nerds can shine.
We have to be nerdy at so many levels to want to be here.
I remember pun-offs with you and Dan, and i can't even remember what the original thread was. We are like flies on, um, poo.
It is so great to see you happy. Last year, I was sending you cathartic music, and this year I am sending you love songs. Way cool. Dna is a lucky woman, as you are a lucky man.(sorry, could not resist that one)
Thanks to all the participants, also. As Joe says in Great Expectations:

Dan, how could you think such a thing of me?
It was a serious post, though I could not help leaving the "a" out of "Dana," since I got absolutely no credit from Bob for that joke in a previous post.
I think we can only do the Pun Smackdown again if Bob is the host(didn't say that on purpose), because otherwise, he would win all the categories.
