Catergories - Famous Brits & Body Parts
Oh my! It was a strong field this week. I've had plenty of time to think about the winners but I know that there will be controversy, possibly even riots and public hangings. The pressure of judging alone is starting to get to me - I sense I may have to form a judging committe of some sort - like the Turner Prize. Leave it with me.

So here we go....
In 3rd place with what I can only describe as a highly aggressive Quadro-Pun:
Toe-Knee Hand-Cock - Oliver Hire
 |
| Handcock - Professor of Fun! |
Oli's done well here although there is technically no alteration to Mr. Handcock's name. I've awarded 3rd place because it is wordplay from start to finish involving both biologically accurate names and the word "Cock" which might as well be an offical term now.
In 2nd place with a beautifully observed pun that is both amusing and descriptive:
Hymen Cowell - Paul Parry
This was a well liked pun this week with 7 "likes". If we look at this pun in a descriptive way I think it's probably an insult to the Hymen which to my mind is my 3rd, possibly 2nd favourite membrane.

| A "High-Man" |
AND IN 1ST PLACE....with a very well constructed double pun that I have to admit has pricked my highly sensitive sense of nostalgia:
Hand-y Feet-ers - Adam Dunt
Adam submitted this pun all the way from Singapore which suggests that Puns know no boundaries. As soon as we recieve a Pun from within the People's Republic of China we will hold a party. Anyway, the quality of the pun speaks for itself and made me cough ostentatiously in the office to conceal my mirth.
As for Andy Peters....

| Duck loving everyman |

| Protein is his only friend now |
This week's people's champion is likely to raise a few eyebrows...or mono-brows in my case!
Chin-ford Wristie - ME!!!
Thank you, thank you all so much!! I don't usually compete properly as it's not possible for me to administrate, Pun and work at the same time. However, I'm pleased that 8 people liked this one enough. I'm humbled.
Some honourable mentions which made my winners shortlist:
Pelvis Costello - James Watts
Minimum effort, maximum impact...this is my personal mantra. Simply adding a "P"...efficient punning from a man we call "The Bulb".
Verteb-Ray Mears - Rory Flecther
Mears - the UK's leading non-military tubby survivalist. Another stout performance from Fletcher
Spleen Elizabeth II - Sam Biss
Our very own Sam Biss salutes everyone's favourite red blood cell assisting organ and Our beloved Liz.
Anus Deayton - Nicola Arber
A strong early entry from Nicola which was well liked. Unlike Deayton who looks like someone has through a handfull of hair at an egg.
PUN-OFF PLEASINGS....
Plenty of females involved this week - Debuts from Nicola Arber, Amy Bird, Justine Grimley and Siany Jones. My Mum and sister each contributed robust, water-tight beginner efforts.
Plenty of room for childish banality this week - with Cocks, balls and Willy's flying all over the place....um...you can add the punchline here if you like...
Edmund McCartney - never before have I seen such show boating in the Punning Arena. Disqualified on 3 counts
Keep your eyes out for a new feature this week - "Pundamentals" - a weekly essay on key punning issues.
