Want in? We ask that Battle of the PUNdits let us know you're competing ahead of time by emailing sandiegopundemonium@gmail.com - or email us with questions if you're curious but don't know how it works! - Part 2, the PUNger Games, is a head-to-head pun-off tournament-style, where participants go back and forth making puns on a given topic until they just can't anymore. Think of it as a rap battle, but with puns. Sign up in advance at sandiegopundemonium@gmail.com OR on the spot at Pundemonium! Winners of each round will get the coveted Golden Nugget chicken trophy to take home.
