Chicago Just for Pun
See how many puns you can find in this Ode to The Windy City.
First, I wanted to go shopping along the Magnificent Mile. The weather was cold, but I donned my white sox and soldiered on.
I bought far too much....in fact, I signed my John Hancock on credit card machines numerous times. No bull.
I was a happy human bean. I exclaimed to no one in particular, "Hull, this could easily become a Daley routine."
The next day, I took an architecture tour on the Chicago River. Looking at the city’s towering skyscrapers left me feeling truly humboldt. There were a lot of military men aboard. I think they were Navy piers. Hunky men and architecture...all was Wright with the world.
Pun Count: ?? In the comments section, tell me how many you found...and add some more.
Go, Cubs 2016!

The next day was warm and sunny. I had to shedd my layers as I walked along the banks of Lake Michigan. Such a nice lakeview. Then, I got so thirsty that I felt loopy. I saw a mirage--it was Jack Black hawking hockey pucks. I couldn’t bear the thirst. My need to drink water towered over all other considerations. That stick of Wrigley in my pocket just wouldn’t cub it, nor would a Pilsen.
Later on, I went to hear Lincoln Park play at Lincoln Hall. The crowd was united in its love of alternative barack music. Midway through, I noticed all the men and thought, “What the el...this is a boystown.”
In terms of dining, well, I did try the deep dish pizza. My first bite contained something resembling a filament. “O’Hare”, I exclaimed, but it turned out it was only a thread-like strand of cheese. Next, I went to a Greektown eatery. When the saganaki sears, everyone yells, “Oprah!”

#ManicPunday Goes to The Improv!
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
