“Busters of Mythe” originated during the reign of Queen Victoria, who was a rabid science nut. The parlor game aspect–anyone (nick-) named Buster could propose a myth to the Royal Court and if he stumped them, 20 gold sovereigns was his reward–was quickly dropped. Her Highness wearing safety goggles and thick gloves was a vision to behold and she revelled in it. ---

This little piggy could not have gone to market while the other stayed home. They are part of the same foot and toes are not detachable and able to go their separate ways. This little piggy did not have roast beef. Toes are not able to eat, so what you are likely seeing is toe jam or some fungus. The fourth little piggy had no roast beef, which is obvious. But being next to the infected third toe is likely to lead to the same problem soon enough. I recommend _Lamisil_. The fifth little piggy did not go “wee wee wee.” Toes do not talk. Perhaps the shoes are just squeaky and this is a misunderstanding. But the versifier really needs to talk to a podiatrist to understand the capabilites and limitations of a human foot, or perhaps to a psychiatrist, to deal with these pedal delusions. ---

Red Riding Hood actually achieved fame by shooting the Big Bad Wolf and turning him into a fur coat. When another Big Bad Wolf was at the door of the third little pig’s house, he called Miss Hood. She came over, shot that wolf and now has two wolf skin coats. AND a pig skin travel case. (So totally ripped off from Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes). ---

I’m glad I’m not your kid. In play: “Red Riding Hood” was V.I. Lenin’s codename when he was robbing banks in Minsk in 1907-1908. His partner in crime Stalin’s was “Prunella Supremissima,” which he hated. ---

“ **Supre Missima** ,” was the working title for the movie, “Barbarella,” until someone pointed out to Roger Vadim that the phrase means “large vagina.” ---

The latest buzz in the tuna industry has it that the Transformer Bumblebee was all set to be Bumblebee Tuna’s mascot, but the public domain image of a bumblebee was determined to bee a honey of a bargain, because it only required a hive instead of a parking lot to live in. ---

Bumblebee Tuna almost dropped their mascot and changed their name when they discovered that said mascot had also been pushing Cheerios! However, a compromised was reached, and look for new “Tuna Cheerios” to hit the supermarket shelves soon. ---

Allan “Boff” Whalley attended one of Tuna Piano’s performances, and thought “Charles Elton John Liberace Donald John Trump Thunnin” could be “tub thumping” for short. Inspired, he and his fellow band members in Chumbawumba released “Tub Thumping” as a hit single in 1997. ---
