Repartee Party

As most of you may have noticed I enjoy puns and was excited to find the O.Henry Pun-Off World Championship in Austin,Texas. I haven't attended one yet but plan to work it into my agenda in the future. The Pun-Off is held every May at the O.Henry museum and was inspired by William Sydney Porter who is better known by his pen name,O.Henry. The event offers lovers of wordplay and wit either a platform to perform or to be in the audience. Two categories are available,Punniest of Show and Punslinging. Punniest of Show is a solo performance using your own material. Punslingling is a competition between two people on a random topic. Both events are judged by a panel of six judges with the highest scores determining the winners.
Since it is palindrome day 4/10/2014  4102014 and palindrome days are infrequent happenings I would also like to wish every one Happy Palindrome Day!
