Good morning punsters! I have to get my entry in early this morning because I have a lot of gardening to do today. I am getting ready for spring when my garden will be full of leaf hoppers, grasshoppers and CLODHOPPERS. Yes, I know that winter gardening tasks can be a real pain in the BABINSKI, but most of the time I just enjoy being outdoors.

Jim, I see that we have more than one SPECTATOR PUMPing up the pressure in this pun war. You set a brisk PACE my friend, but eventually I will get my STRIDE-RITE. I have a deep well of puns I can TAP. I'll just fall IN STEP here and before long I will be at the FINish line, PLANTARing my flag and FLIPPERing you off! You will be so impressed with my punning FEATs of strength that you will freeze-up and have to reBOOT. You will simply have no choice but to TOE-the-line.

Come on Jim - you know I'm Italian, right? Italians are famous for their shoes and heck, look at a map!!! You do know what the whole Italian peninsula is shaped like, right?

Oh I suppose that you think that your win is already a "FEET ACCOMPLI", but to that I say, "yo Jim, you can just bend over and ONE, TWO, BUCKLE MY..."

I must confess, you really have to be on the BALL to beat Jim in a foot and shoe pun war. His volley of puns sure has kept me ON MY TOES. Time and time again he has attempted to WAFFLE STOMP all over me. I am pretty sure that he has an ACHILLES HEEL, but I may have to hire a GUM SHOE to sleuth it out.

In some personal message exchanges with Jim, we have decided that we both need to TAKE A LOAD OFF. We both need to hold our horses, tame our cows and take our LITTLE PIGGIES to market. So we have decided to let you, our readers, decide which one of us is BIG FOOT and which one of us simply has ATHLETE'S FOOT.

Kenzie has agreed to collect and tabulate the votes. Readers of this thread have 48 hours from the time of this post to send Kenzie a personal message with your vote for the winner of this pun war. When the voting is over, Kenzie will announce the winner. In the meanwhile, Jim and I have agreed to a relative cease fire. Of course we both agreed that if a really good shot comes along, we just might have to take it!!!

Anyway... win, lose or TIE, both of us agree not to be SOREL losers.

In the meanwhile, let's all do a little of this.

Well, it's been 48 hours and it is time to announce our winner.

After a long and difficult session of tabulating results (more than 10 people voted, so I had to take off my shoes to do the math) we have a winner.

A very close race, but the winner of the first Stinky Sneaker Punster Contest :



Everyone's favourite crazy raccoon lady, Angela!!!

Oh dear... oh my... let me just STUMBLE up to the PLATFORM here...

I'd like to thank the voters, the North American Podiatry Society and our lovely host Kenzie for this wonderful award.

Jim, it has been an honor! We will pun war again some day and I'm sure that next time THE SHOE WILL BE ON THE OTHER FOOT!

(If you missed it, you can catch the full awards ceremony later on PODcast...)
