SUNDAY'S SUMMARY

The weather here has been glorious. We've kept ourselves busy with yard work...getting the winter kill cleaned out and raking the dead leaves and pulling weeds from the flower gardens and raised flower beds. Among the bark and dead overgrowth all around, we found plenty of caterpillars. With seeing these little boogers, according to folklore, depending on how large the colored bands are, the longer the winter. Or something like that. Kinda like the Groundhog predicts Spring's arrival, the Woolly predicts harsh or mild winters. Wednesday we had finished most of it by then, and I had called the carpet cleaners to come steam all the carpeting throughout the house. Now we're ready to enjoy the beginning of a great season heading our way. NOTE: I'm posting this early [Saturday afternoon]. Bud and I have been to the beach all day without being on the computer except for early this morning...it's too beautiful a day to be indoors. Now, I'm gonna go spend some more time in the sunshine, reading my book!!!

Okay, y'all know what a 'spoonerism' is, right?
You don't?
Well, since you asked so kindly, I thought I'd give you an example...
...this is a spoonerism:

Let's use a Cack of Pards for this.


1. 2 of ♥s becomes a "Who of Tarts"
2. 4 of ♥s becomes a "Whore of Farts
3. 8 of ♥s becomes a "Hate of Arts"
4. Ace of ♠s becomes an "Space of aids"
5. 4 of ♦s becomes a "Door of firemans"
6. 6 of ♦s becomes a "Dick of Simons"
7. or lastly, a 2 of ♣s becomes a "Clue of tubs"

By the way, a "Cack of Pards" becomes a Pack of Cards!!

Most times a spoonerism is just a tip of the slongue slip of the tongue, so to speak, and we all have done it. No doubt a lot of times, in our lives. The other day I asked Bud if he wanted some Jewberry Bluice. Of course, I meant Blueberry Juice. We both rolled with laughter! [by the way, just last week our 1st lady, Michelle, said the secret to a good marriage is laughter...well, we DO laugh a lot. So, maybe she's onto something.] After the giggles and snorts died down, and while we were drinking our bluice juice, the conversation lead to the old classic TV program, Hee Haw.

Anni: "Remember the program, Hee Haw and the barber?"

Bud: "Ya, he was a hoot, like you were just now."

Anni: "Okay, but what was his name? He was so good at spoonerisms."

Bud: "Don't ask me!! Go out on your Google Search and find out."

Well, I did...

The barber that was so good with spoonerisms on the program was Archie Campbell. When the commercials were over, they'd take us to the barber shop set where someone was in the barber's chair and Archie Campbell, dressed in his barber's garb behind the patron, he would begin his story tellin'. If you didn't pay close attention you were lost. If you were into spoonerisms you'd laugh yourself silly. I went a step further in my Googling and ended up at You Tube to see if I could find one of the Hee Haw ditties....or should I say Dee Haw Hitties? Oh gimme a break. Here is the classic RINDERCELLA [Cinderella]:
