Malapropagation 2012 -- Revenge of the Schtick

Surely, that’s hitting below the bell?

Some impoverished students might have to resort to trapping small animals to pay their tuition; a fox, sable or mink belt can fetch a pretty penny.

One place to find valuable animal skins is certain wide open rural spaces of Southern Africa known as the pelt.

I don’t think he cared all that much about animals, but billionaire and former superhero Adrian Veldt did a lot to save humanity in Watchmen.

Speaking of the Watchmen, when the movie premiered, Jon Veidt was there. He didn’t start in the movie, but was friends with a lot of the cast. His daugher Angelina Jolie didn’t accompany him. (They were probably estranged at that point.)

While I read a lot of SF, I’ve never really been a fan of the short stories of A. E. van Voight.

Didn’t he write about the Vogts? The slug-like bureaucratic aliens who are responsible for the third worst poetry in the galaxy?

There is some pretty bad poetry originating from vogons; I don’t think their refusal to consume or use animal products plays a significant role in it, though.

I didn’t think Vegan Hill had any reputation for either poetry or animal products. I just thought it was a historic district in Boston located near the State House.

I love beacon.

I love bacon too, particularly the threatening speech Liam Neeson gives the kidnapper.

Liam Neeson lent his voice to Cartoon Network’s The Clone Wars. So did George Taken who played as Sulu from Star Trek

A **takei **is a large humanoid carving found in some Polynesian cultures.

You can learn a lot about Polynesian culture on Tiki, the addictive website that lets everyone constantly rewrite what’s already there.

In high school we sure learned a lot about a girl when she showed up with a wiki on her neck.

I understand a case of hickeys can be annoying, especially when the old tricks like drinking out of the wrong side of the glass and dropping a key down your back don’t work, but I don’t think it says much about you.

As marshal of Abilene, Wild Bill Hiccup earned $150 a month, a nice sum in those days, and received as a bonus 50 cents for every unlicensed dog he shot within city limits.

I also heard that he was master of the hickok, and was really good lying on his back, kicking up, and landing on his feet.

Some people call it** kip-up**, others call it catsup, but it’s really the same thing.

I’ve never known anyone to confuse Hank Ketchup, the guy who created Dennis the Menace, with a condiment.
