Paula Houseman (paulahouseman) | 29 comments Spoonerisms can be a hoot! e.g well-oiled bicycle=well-boiled icicle. OK, not so funny.
But check out the late Ronnie Barker's, The Story of Rindercella and Her Sugly Isters: http://www.techrepublic.com/forums/di...

So, I'm starting a story using spoonerisms. Join me and add to it.

The quing and keen shisembarked from the dip.

He bispered whack, "And you're a billy sitch!"

Possibly... and it could lead to forking (or knifing), but in a way that you can get away with it on a public forum. As in cuck the fensors!

Rodney Carlson (rodneycarlson) | 617 comments They did these on Hee Haw back in the day, including Rindercella who slopped her dripper. I've loved them ever since.

Oh, you've given me an idea, Rodney! I'm going to amend the story. Why not 'spoonerise' another fairy tale in the same way Ronnie Barker did it?

To the many uber-talented writers on Goodreads, are you up for it? (God I hope so otherwise it's like throwing a party with no one turning up.) For inspiration, see: http://www.techrepublic.com/forums/di...

Anyway, people, I'm kickstarting another one:

Wow Snite and the seven little bat fastards—Grappy, Humpy, Bleepy, Sashful, Snoc, Deezy & Dopey (this little dude stays the same). So, here goes & please feel free to add and distort.

Once upon a time there lived a provely lincess called Wow Snite. Her mother died and her father remarried a botal titch.
