This had me cracking up.Some of them are quite good (I particular like "E"), though I firmly believe that the true measure of a great punner is his ability (or hers -- hat tip to Faith who held her own, admirably) to come up with consecutive great puns in a short period of time, as opposed to seeking out the "Ultimate Pun." In many ways, having that as a goal would detract from the enjoyment of puns, I think. As alluring as the concept of achieving the Ultimate Pun is, it strikes me that that would kill punning entirely. It'd be like having your penis somewhere inside Angelina Jolie -- why would you ever bother putting it anywhere else? Just kill yourself, man, you've reached the mountaintop.
In any event, I think the best pun we saw in our war was this one (which was focused on shoes, for you memory-impaired folks like me):
I guess I'm somewhat obligated to offer a pun somewhere here. So I figure the newfangled medium on which we've been writing and you are now reading (which at times has been referred to as the Information Superhighway) would be a pretty good topic. After all, it's rife with all kinds of possibilities. Hey, it might just *net* us a few new visitors, who will forever be caught in our *web*.
Two obvious ones down. Let the war begin.

well done faith, you're punning with the grownups now.
next thanksgiving you can move from the *keds* table and eat with the adults.
