Greetings to all potential puntestants for the very first Beltway Pundits. It takes place at the DC Improv on March 4. If you are interested in competing in the Pun Battle, which requires the performance of a prepared two-minute pun riff, sign up here.Here's a clip of me promoting the event on Great Day Washington.
For the more spuntaneous Punger Games, you can sign up on the spot.
The Punger Games is a quick-draw tournament, in which puntestants face off in punder and lightening rounds, They have to come up with puns on a dime, making 'cents' of a given theme. The last punster standing in each round moves on to the next bracket.
To show you how it works, here's a recent transcript from #ManicPunday on Twitter. The topic was baked goods and desserts. To protect the innocent, I am only including my retortes. Roll down to the bottom if you want to read in chronological order.

OK, I eclair #ManicPunday over. We didn't cause much of a simit this time. Not enough rye fruitcakes in the world, I guess.
Well, @hyatttysons @Ledge7475 @gdh_99 @busydrawing We are going to have to turnover a new leaf. Injera any suggestions for next #ManicPunday
I'm waffling. I'm not churro if #ManicPunday is a good idea. Anyone have thoughts about how we can cobbler a bigger pie next time?
I am crust-fallen. #ManicPunday doesn't have a lot of flans today. @GDH_99 #dianenorton @busydrawing
