SUNDAY'S SUMMARY

- - -TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT- - -
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.
- 2 of ♥s becomes a "Who of Tarts"
- 4 of ♥s becomes a "Whore of Farts
- 8 of ♥s becomes a "Hate of Arts"
- Ace of ♠s becomes an "Space of aids"
- 4 of ♦s becomes a "Door of firemans"
- 6 of ♦s becomes a "Dick of Simons"
- or lastly, a 2 of ♣s becomes a "Clue of tubs"
By the way, a "Cack of Pards" becomes a Pack of Cards!!
- 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]:
Here's Archie Campbell reciting " 'Twas the Christ before Nightmas "

The dolphins do leap and play! Lovely little glass figures!
ReplyDeleteA PARFAIT DAY
A seeker of shadows one day
Did trip as she went on her way;
She picked herself up
And dipped from a cup
Of shadowy lemon parfait!

ReplyDeleteMy shadow entry
The dolphins appear to be riding a wave - from the inside. Spring will arrive here someday, happily near the Gulf the signs of Spring are everywhere!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dolphins, and how interesting to see the difference when you flipped the shot.
ReplyDeleteLove the caterpillar, what rich colouring.
There's a great children's book on Spoonerisms called "Spooner or Later" by Paul Jennings, Ted Greenwood & Terry Denton.Very funny.
Great post Anni, enjoy the sunshine and keep laughing ;)
Oh, I don't dare show this to my husband or he'll spoonerism me to bits. He loves the things. Almost as much as he loves puns. January of last year we went to the Mayan Riviera with my brother and his wife, and it wasn't long before my sister-in-law and I realized we had created two monsters by bringing our husbands together. "You know, Kay," she said, "I love you but I'm really glad you don't live near us." LOL

PS - beautiful shadow shots, though, Anni.

ReplyDeleteHi Annie,
ReplyDeleteI've seen laser cut glass for sure, but nothing like this piece!
I grew up watching HeeHaw and remember always laughing my self silly! Where have all the great shows gone?
And then, there's you, you rubbing our noses int the fact that you get to enjoy the sunshine and surf!!!!!
(long sigh) I do love Belgium though, with all the green, and history, but I sure wish the sun would come out a little more often!
Have a fabulous day, Annie! And throw a seashell in the ocean for me when your out there enjoying yourself!

ReplyDeleteNice dolphine shadows!!
I have a record album that belonged to mom and one of the tracks is Archie Campbell doing "That's Good, That's Bad"...I remember playing it over and over again, it was so hilarious!! I actually remember him doing this skit on Hee Haw and was amazed he could get through the whole story without slipping up! lol
ReplyDeleteOh phooey to you about your hot sunny weather!!!! LOL It's sunny here today but only 0F with strong winds. You better watch out or I'm gonna move in your backyard! lol xoxo
