Pun League Week 17 Results Pun League by luckyladder - December 7, 2017October 7, 20180 Week 17 challenge: Give us a pun that encapsulates this ‘ere picture. Winners announced next Thursday#punleague #HashtagGames #pun pic.twitter.com/SrnGe3EU2L — Pun League (@punleague) November 30, 2017 Is it something I said? A lowish turnout for last week’s challenge has made me question what happened to the scores of leaguers from a few weeks ago. Perhaps it was a trickier challenge this week, maybe a few of you are allergic to cats, or perhaps my cavalier attitude to changing the day and time of the challenges has taken its toll. In an effort to claw back some of the leaguers we’ve lost along the way, myself and the work experience lad have scheduled a meeting to decide upon a set day and time for the weekly updates. That meeting was supposed to be today, but I’ve had to move it to next week now. Nevertheless, we’ll have some news on that soon. On to those week 16 results, and if every picture tells a story, then this one certainly had a hidden tail. Joint first place for 100 points and a Sheba à la carte pouch Paw and Peace – Bailed (@bailed) The Art of Paw by Pun Tzu – Paul Boxshall (@superbokka) Paw/war puns aplenty this week, but I’d secretly hoped for some literary references and these two combined all three elements of the picture purr-fectly. Nothing to split them. 2nd place for 60 points and his vet appointment postponed All’s fur in love and war – Bonbarlos (@bonbarlos) Bonbarlos skips over the paw/war reference altogether and dishes up this a-mews-ing effort 3rd place for 40 points and a handful of Iams Mission Impussible – Siobhan Fell (@siobhan_fell) A new name for the table! Siobhan Fell, presumably weary of folk saying “did she? I’m sorry to hear that” when introducing herself, searches for respite on social media instead and inadvertently bags a podium finish on the world’s most prestigious online pun game*. Well done Siobhan, welcome to the fold. 20 points and a fish finger I dropped in the litter tray to the honourable mentions: Apocalypse Meow – Raj S (@XYZRaj) Papawback would’ve been better – Phil (@phileb727) A whisker away from catastrophe – Alex Hutchinson (@paddyk_11) *according to a survey conducted by Pun League. 1/1 people polled considered Pun League to be extremely prestigious.
