The PAWN Pun CONTEST

Once u-pawn a time, I held a very lame chess-themed contest for the sole purpose of promoting chess humour and filling blogspace ....

Enough pawn-tificating, I'm pawn-dering another contest ..... lets give you all more time this go-round .... til Sept first or thereabout.

Remember this is not a pawn-sie scheme, just a little fun with no cash reward .... no reward really .... just "taco" trophies for 1st, 2nd, and third.

Just submit your best (read worst) PUNs based on the ubiquitous PAWN.

You all know what a pawn is .... puns come in various shapes and sizes, submit whatever type you wish.

Keep it clean, keep it irrelevant, ..... no pawn-ography.

Looks like rain. Where's my pawn-cho?

Who's your favourite Beatle? Pawn, Jaul, Ringo, or George?

    Here they are .... the much anticipated results!

    First Place (for the Quality and Quantity of his submission) Mr. Bill Wall .... I particularly enjoyed Pawncakes and Wrath of Pawn ..... pawn juice left me running for the door though.

    Second Place (for a real groaner ....I should be careful what I ask for) Doomrider for his "pawnies" submission.

    Third Place ( for his participation and mention of res-pawn-sibility  .... as creator of this contest my submissions were not directly eligible) DejiAdegbite.

    Carefully developed pawn structure and including pawns in attack is my "secret wea-pawn".

    It is widely believed that both the Pawnegranate and the Pawnapple were brought to Earth by aliens.

    A Grimm Reminder;

    Ra-pawn-zul had the long golden hair.

    Rip Pawn Winkle had the long grey beard.

    Rumplestiltspawn just has a long name.

    Have we jumped out of the frying pawn and into the fire?

    Do you like horses, little girl?

    Yes, but I prefer pawn-ies

    Res-pawn-se so far has been both Pawn-tastic and a little disa-pawn-ting!

    Its great that Bill Wall has entered our humble little contest (and yes it looks like he is in the lead so far....)

    Its unfortunate that no-one else is even trying (so far at least ... lots of time left)

    Currently tied for second are Doomrider and DejiAdegbite for their clever "invisible" puns (only legible if you hold your screen on a certain angle, using a mirror and reading between the lines....)

    Management will not be held res-pawn-sible for lost or stolen articles while on this ride.
