Pun-Off

We spent the day with Scott and Julie at the O. Henry Pun-Off World Championships yesterday. Neither Jeff nor I had ever been before. It was so much fun!! The contestants were awesome. CLEVER a dull moment.

:-D

The first half of the competition is called "Punniest of Show." Contestants do a 90-second prepared bit. The top three were...

3rd place, Ben Ziek from California



2nd place, Gracie Deegan of Austin



1st place, first-time competitor Jerzy Gwiazdowski from New York




The second half of the contest is "Punslingers," which pits punsters against each other one-on-one in a battle of puns with a given topic. Sadly, no one has put up a video of the final bout yet. I'll keep looking and post it on the blog later.

The Pun-Off will definitely be an annual outing for us! This event is worth a road trip, so everyone out there plan to go next year!
