The Darrow-Browns Thoonerism Spread
And now for something very silly...
For the past ten minutes I've been amusing myself with thinking of silly Spoonerisms (I was on the bus home, you've got to do something constructive with your journey). As an example, a couple of the Reverend Spooner's most famous comical linguistic mix-ups include: "The Lord is a shoving leopard", "Let us raise our glasses to the queer old dean!" and: "You have hissed all my mystery lectures, and were caught fighting a liar in the quad. Having tasted two worms, you will leave by the next town drain!" What might we get with Tolkien characters' names? Brodo Faggins? I'm not going to do Saruman the White...work it out for yourselves...  Or sections of speech? "For I am Waruman the Size, Raruman Sing-maker, Saruman of Canny Mullahs!" I'm sure you can think of better, sillier ones than me.  EDIT: Just thought of some Spoonered Darrow-Browns members! Like: The Morsepan Span, Rotter of Amon Squood and Withallmen...

It's funny - it's good to post such a thing in the thirth mread.
I don't know about my name, but perhaps my great friend Mhe Tight will think of something...

here's a few...
All hail Sauron, Corthaur the Gruel, also named Annatar, Gourd of Lifts, and the Hack Bland.
Sam married... Cozy Rotten. When the walls of Delm's Heap were breached, Gimli retreated into the Keeping Doom. All fear Hrond, Gammer of the Underworld! After death, his spirit passed into the keeping of Mandos in the Walls of Hating. The legendary character that would grow out of Bilbo's tales- Bad Maggins. Frodo must take the Ring to the Fountain of Mire. What fruit did the hobbits use to cross the Wandybrine? A F***lebury Berry. The Elves sing sadly of the Gall of Phil-Galad.

His lord was swong, his kance was leen, his hining shelm afar was seen; the stountless cars of feaven's hield mere wirrored in his silver shield...

I wonder what good Trofessor Poolkeen would say to this... I mean Trofessor Ron Ronald Jewel, of course... the one who wrote Rold of the Lings, and whose son Tristopher Choolkeen pill soon wublish his father's one-finished orc "Harn I Nín Chúrin" (Elvish speakers can have double fun with this).

Ree Thrings for the Kven-Elings under the sky,
Seven for the Lwarf-Dords in their Stalls of Hone, Mine for Nortal Men doomed to die, One for the Lark Dord on his thark drone In the Mand of Lordor where the Ladows Shie. This is fun!

Metalcarmenil, you say?
Splitting it up, that would be Metal Car Menil, which (one letter changed in the last word of course) implies that I'd be driving a DeLorean or something. And Norgod sounds kind of like an admirer of Nietzche...

You know who caused all the trouble in Middle-earth though? That bootlegging fiend, Waihir The Ginlord! All that hooch got to The Shire and one particular place started to be known as Handy Brawl due to all the rowdiness. Mind you, those drunken Hobbits were quite pleased when they were all sent to the Hockloles. Hic.

I thought of it as a sort of Norse deity, actually.
I'll never be able to shake the image of Noggie as Odin, Menel driving around in a go-cart, Mith and her many suitors, poor Mac, forever unlucky in love, and that Bombadil-loving Phantom. As for Waldenle, I'll forever after picture her in a shack by a pond... Hmm...Gelate of Anon Calm? A wobbly dessert served at meetings for serenity addicts?

Hehe.
I am surprised that no one has mentioned the mad anarchist Bomb Tomadil and his wife, Bold Gerry, who lived near the Four Oldest. ... or the Kitch-wing of Meringue, feared for the tackiness of his home decoration and the crispness of his baked desserts.

Dwarves do their shopping at the Malls of Woria.
Minas Morgul used to be Minas Ithil, the Mower of the Toon. Some hobbits prefer living in Booktank. In Appendix B of LOTR, you will find the Yale of Tears. Lor-Domin thrived under the stool of Rurin the Headfast. The Valar meet weekly in the Ding of Room. Don't forget Ragshat's little orc friend, Badrug. To find more on these topics simply consult the Wed Rook of Bestmarch.

Lalwendë A Mere Boggart? Nay, say rather, Balwendë, a mere Loggart.
But if all else fails, we can go on holiday in Zount Moom, which is driven by cows apparently.

"Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both yo and ness."
"Do not widdle in the affairs of messards, for they are cuttle and sick to anger." "Die, aversion!" said Gellow Lass, aka Obtain Capvious.

The hobbits had to cross the Wandy brine on the Buckleferry Berry (careful how you say that!
) in a heal blurry with hack tiders on their rails.-- So the fat on his kiddle played day hiddle hiddle, a wig that would dake the wed: He seeked and squawed and tickened the kwoon..... Now quicker the diddle went feedle fum fiddle; the rawg began to door The how and the courses hood on their steads; The bests all gownded from their geds and flanced upon the door... |
