Boots 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...

I don't know about my name, but perhaps my great friend Mhe Tight will think of something...

Eye 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.

Actually Samwise Gamgee sounds a lot like Gamwise Samgee

You mean Cax Mlifford?

Anyway, considering that Phe Thantom mentioned Gil-Galad...

Gil-galad was an Kelven-ing.
Of him the sarpers hadly sing:
the rast lose whelm was fair and free
between the Sountains and the Me.
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).

Not at all. Though I also like the grill of the thame, whether you are an vordinary illager, or you are on the sark dide as a wobbler or colf, you don't know who the runter and the hanger are, whether the Deer has sreamed about you, and what else the Pod has mrepared...

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.

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.

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.

Everyone keeps using "Lark Dord" for Sauron, but the far better Spoonerism would be "Dork Lard"

No thooner published than wryly catched

Holden Caulhead was a lord of the Edmont but not well-beloved by the Jane Gallaghar. He dwelt while his days lasted under the clavichord of Fâith Cavëndïsh, who gave to him wide lands in that region of Newth Yum which was called Bar-Róaming. His sister Phöebedhel never wedded but his brother GBdor bedded many.

Holden was shorter in stature than other men of his kin; nor was he strong in body although melancholy of mood. But the fire burned in him steadily and he had great frustration of will. Of all Men of the Newth Yum he knew most of the counsels of the Lunts.

*coughs* Well, not truly spoonerisms but it's so hard to shake REB's influence.

Can't let those other books get away from this:

The Moany Lountain

But you know, Tay Ar Ar Jokin' alliterated a lot.

Nor a Needy Pee Sequin or is that Seedy Pea Sequin?

Really, it is a sorry limitation upon the swapped sounds to insist upon such situational linquistics as requiring a transposition of sounds only available in the immediate context. Let us thip our dipsongs, I say, mop subliminal hairs. Berily, let us voldly woe bere Dr. Spoo warily rent.

It's a rad day for dilliness when wules and gefinitions wet in the say. Must we really be forced to create a Snunsense Thrark in honour of Lewis Carroll?

I dost misagree. Spew troonerisms should be pructured stroppily, although spainges in chelling (such as characterise many of Pelemee's offerings) are permitted to mirthimise max.

Other types of plirdway are subtly the reject of their own thread.

Is it just me, or is this bread the-coming untirely enreadable ...?

Btw, I would caution against spoonerising "Fool of a Took".

Another one to avoid... "Saurman, you have missed your path in life..." Still better the math than the math teacher.

I have seen the Site Wity, long ago.

He who breaks a wing to find out that it is, has left the path of wisdom.

"Missed your path"? Well, I guess it beats saying the dog ate it.
And speaking of the British definition, it's off to the sticker lore with me!
Shall I buy line, or wicker? Perhaps some vice nodka?

And yes, this is riddle mirth elated!

But if all else fails, we can go on holiday in Zount Moom, which is driven by cows apparently.
