Punorama

13:39 UK time, Wednesday, 11 October 2006

The rules for this little game are simple. We choose a story and you lovingly create a punning headline to go with it. Send your headlines using the comment form below, and we'll choose the best on Wednesday.

iguana.jpg
This week's story is about the iguana of Bodmin. RSPCA officials have found the four foot lizard-type thing on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, and think it must have been dumped there by a collector of exotic pets. They've called him Igor (photograph is posed by a model). The RPSCA's Felicity Cross is cross. "Whoever did this must know iguanas need tropical temperatures to stay healthy."

The results

A tropical zoo of cold-blooded punmeisters for us all to gawp at this week and then set free to freeze to death.
Keith gets off to a shaky start with "Iguana need this beast no longer, iguana need this beast no more". Mark Wrighton show's he's no passenger with Iggy drop. And old chum Candace is back in town with Binned Lizzy. (This commentary is golddust, you know.)

Newcomer Bob is in good company with punner extraordinaire Kieran Boyle, both of whom suggest Ig of the Dumped.

Sarah from Dartmouth is skipping along with We're off to free the lizard.

But Graeme wins the booby prize by unaccountably shoehorning a Smiths reference into his pun, with Devon knows I'm mis-reptile now. (Bodmin Moor's in Cornwall, Graeme. Cornwall.)
