I've always enjoyed a good spoonerism----Now in case ya don't know what that is,you basically reverse a few vowels and/or consonants in a sentence.In other words, wordplay.Here's three good examples accordingto ol' reliable Wikipedia:"Three cheers for our queer old dean!" (dear old queen, referring to Queen Victoria) "The Lord is a shoving leopard." (a loving shepherd) "Is it kisstomary to cuss the bride?" (customary to kiss)One variation on a spoonerism is to reverse words.(I'm not as think as you drunk I am) After downing a few at various local watering holes,I used to enjoy the looks on people's faceswhenever I would cross my eyes and with slurred speech yell out,"Tarbender .... Bore Meer !!! "The legendary Archie Campbell of Hee Haw fame used to do entire monologues,classic childrens stories and nursery rhymes using spoonerisms.It made for some pretty funny stuff like "Rindercella" and my personal fave, "The Pee Little Thrigs"(I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll hoe your blouse in)Aerosmith once recorded an album called "Night in the Ruts"It was actually a spoonerism for Right in the Nuts.( I wasn't aware of that fact until Wiki told me)Also, thanks to Wiki, I'm now aware of an Australian bluegrass bandwith a very clever name, The Pheasant PluckersThe band, Lords of Acid did an album they called "Farstucker"and I'm sure we've all heard terms like bass ackwardsand nucking futs.Well ..... you get the idea. -----Anyway .... Here's my spoonerism for the dayand I confess I said all that to say this:Thee thrings I learly dove:A diff strink, tig bitties and cunning stunts
