Arthur Spooner was fined $500 for saying “breast fiends” at the Annual Miss Blawmox/Blawnox Beauty Pageant. This is known as a “spoonerism.”
Arthur Spooner has referred to our current president as a “shining wit”.
Reverend Spooner was castigated by his Blawmox contemporaries for referring to children that ran between his legs. He meant to say “Cunning little runts.”
My second wife, after having relations, was a spooner. I called her “Panama,” because she was a busy ditch.
The Panama Canal was actually dug by Theodore Roosevelt and 20 guys from Blawnox with a steam shovel, three wheelbarrows and nineteen spoons.
Roosevelt had been trying to write a suitable palindrome to commemorate Blawmox’s participation in the construction of the Canal, but couldn’t find any words that incorporated “…xom walb…,” so he went with “A man, a plan, a canal - Panama” instead.
Someday the full story will be told of the eldritch horror that emerged from the antediluvian tomb that was uncovered during the excavation of the Panama Canal. Of Theodore Roosevelt’s heroic actions that drowned it again under the waters of Gatun Lake. And why to this day it’s considered unlucky to traverse the canal during Día de muertos. It will probably fail to mention any of the guys from Blawnox however.
Theodore Roosevelt was so awesome that Chuck Norris dreams of being him - and T.R. appears to him in his dreams and tells him to stop.
And Chuck does.
Chuck Jones has the only copy of an animated short starring Teddy Roosevelt and Bugs Bunny (in drag–hubba, hubba), the contents of which I leave to your imagination. Hint: it involves a bully and not the kind that beats you up.
Bugs Bunny underwent several makeovers before his current face. In the 1940’s, he was an American doughboy who frequently clashed with his Nazi opponent, Elmer Freud. During the late 60’s, he underwent a period as one of the Beatles with a moptop, with Yosemite Sam cast frequently as a Bobby, using a baton instead of pistols, since the UK Police did not carry firearms.
Noted miscreant Bugs Meany sued the Bic Lighter Company in 2004. He claimed his great-great-grandfather invented the lighter and thus he (Bugs) was owed millions from their sales. Meany produced an old letter in which his ancestor Burford Meany wrote about how he thought up the idea for a lighter after his matches became wet during a rainstorm. “The new lighter would be better than a matchstick because it would still work even if damp.”
However, attorney E. Leroy Brown defending Bic was able to prove that the letter was a fake by showing that lighters were actually invented before matches.
E. Leroy Brown’s commercial song was (what else?) E. E. E. Leroy Brown. He sued James Croce claiming copyright infringement and, when the judge threw the suit out of court, it’s rumored he arranged for Croce to have an “accident.”
Croce was so intimidated by Brown, he changed his name to Cat Stevens, and then to Yusef Islam.
Adult film actor Jim Crotchy enjoyed moderate success in the early 70s with the films “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown-Eye” and “Time in a Butthole.” By the mid 70s, however, his stardom faded and the actor soon left the business. Rumor has it that he took up either construction work or became a charter pilot to pay the bills.
Jim Crotchy is also noted for his work as an acting coach, having instructed such later almost-stars of stage and screen as Keira Daly, Tom Walke, Brad Pittsburgh and Angelina Grumpie.
In 1996, Bugs Meany opened a bakery in Pittsburgh that purported to sell German Chocolate cake using the original recipe from Deutschland. He wanted $7.50 a slice from customers eager to have a truly authentic treat. However, patron and *Post-Gazette *food critic E. Leroy Brown scuttled these plans by noting in his column that German was the last name of the creator of the cake and not the country from which it originated.
The Meanies are a weird cult in Deutschland who believes that Hot Chocolate and Chocolate Candies can only be consumed during the winter (representing the sweets of cold winter holidays), Tea and Sugar Cookies during the spring (representing the flowers and herbs of warm spring holidays), wine and berries during the summer (representing the fruits of hot summer holidays), and coffee and spices during the autumn (representing the spice of the cool autumn holidays).
The Sugar Cookies were a Boise, Idaho-based soft rock band who reached their greatest peak of fame in June 1977, when Billy Carter barfed on the shoes of lead singer Evan “Bobo” Rasmussen during a concert on the South Lawn of the White House.
Evan “Bobo” Rasmussen and The Sugar Cookies biggest hit was 1977’s #1 song: “Don’t Barf on Me, Billy Carter.”
One of the Sugar Cookies was Julianne Rice, the stepmother of the second cousin of the sister of the brother-in-law of the uncle of Tim Rice, who wrote the lyrics for Evita.
