Registration O-pun for O. Henry Pun-Off

Confession: I sat working on this post for longer than I'd care to admit. It's a lot of pressure writing about puns, after all! But here's the best I can do from my little cubicle (you might call it a writer's block).

I was a little blind-sided when I realized I had such a tiny window of opportunity to get the news out about the O. Henry Pun-Off registration being open as of today. If I didn't get something up quickly, though, it'd be curtains for me.

OK, so the post was a must, but how to go about it? Do you cater to the folk who'll chuckle at egg-cellent word play or side with those who consider it a fowl use of language? Maybe the post itself is just a farm-ality, and people just need to know where to swine up.

Here's the drill: Head over to the event website, hammer out the entry form, and – the most important bit – hope you're one of the first 32 to sign up. Don't worry if you get bumped to stand-by though; it doesn't mean you're a screw-up. Final event details will be nailed down soon.

Registration for the O. Henry Pun-Off is open now, though the initial 32 spots are almost full. The event will be held Saturday, May 18, at Brush Square Park (Fourth & Trinity). The author apologizes for any injuries caused by excessive groaning.
