EmberPun Intended Punslam is a slam-style punmaking competition.In pairs of two, Intenders approach the stage to be given a prompt with just seconds to think before collaboratively slinging puns. Rapidly, the five audience members who have been selected to be judges, score on a scale of 1-5, frequently including hilarious pictures and quips. Next, the Intenders come up one by one with two mins each to show off their puns, from a phrase they have been given before the show had begun. The judges will judge, this time from 1-10, with the drawings and hilarity continuing on. In the final round, the top four contestants go noggin’ to noggin’ then the audience chooses who is top doggin’! Our champion receives mad respect, bragging rights, and cheers! (As well as a $40 gift card from Peddler Brewing Company for beers *or whatever they choose*). 10 Intenders5 judges1 ChampionWhat does this look like in limerick form?!Are you a chronic literary offender?Recovering from a wordsmithing bender?Get off your buns& Sharpen your puns‘Cause here comes the fabulous Forest EmberThe task before you is clear10 of you must volunteerFor 3 rounds of fudges‘Front 5 esteemed judgesWhile the rest of us laugh, drink & cheer!1st round, is collaborative by pluckSince the prompt, as mentioned, is potluckJust moments to thinkIt will go by in a blinkAnd leave all with jaws dropped and awestruck2nd, take time to think in new waysAtop a pre-written phraseSome will advanceTo take a big chanceWith the audience's clever reparteesThirdly the final examGoes mono a mono to deprogramThe pun once so malignedWill tonight be enshrinedSo vote for your most favorite slam(mer)Against the tallest of oddsWe’ve found the punniest bipodsPlease give a donation& help the elevationOf our champion’s monetary applause!
