For this word joust, you will pretend that you are an editor for your family's newspaper. Write a headline for the front page.I enjoy wit and literary devices, but above all, I love puns! Extra points for extra puns! There are rules for headlines, but the only ones that apply here are:
* No "to be" verbs.
* No articles (the, a, an).
Be creative, have fun, and good luck!

ENTIRE FAMILY DIAGNOSED WITH EXTRA-HIGH BLOOD-SUGAR BY MOTHER
ReplyDeleteI think it's been about two weeks. I say you call this one Samm! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delay, everyone! I was waiting for the family reunion rush to be over, then I got sick! So I'm finally calling it.
ReplyDeleteThis one was pretty hard to pick! I really enjoyed Mr. Giggles self-committed one, but I couldn't tell if his subtle pun was on intended or not. I went with a second judge to help me out and we decided that Twist's Extra Long Mile to the bathroom is the winner!
Congrats Twist! I look forward to the game you come up with. :)
Somebody wake up Twist and tell him it's his turn to post a new game! :0)
