I've enjoyed malapropisms, spoonerisms, and all such word play since I first read Benchley when I was a pre-teen. That's when I fell in love with libraries and dreamt of reading every book in there. (I'm still working on that.)

(32,723 posts)that SMELT!! even if you did do it just for the halibut. Good thing he's a psychiatrist, tho -- in a slightly different specialty he could have been a sturgeon.
I'll quit floundering around -- anybody got any moray good lines?
listen CHUM i'm tired of swimming around in your school. I'll wait with BAITed breath for your next line --
You're not the sole proprietor of these things. I heard one in a Salmon Dave song, and I even saw one in a Marlin Brando movie.
Personally, I don't see the porpoise.

Were it not for the ideological war in progress (it's not a cultural war, no matter what the university pundits say, it's a capitalist state sponsored ideological war), they would probably form a powerful combined populist movement that would scare Washington right out of its silk shorts. Naturally, political strategists on both sides do everything possible to keep the rank and file from discovering the growing overlap of liberal and conservative thinking (or in some cases, nonthinking).
Not many working people on either side still believe that what is good for Wall Street is good for Main Street, or that very much trickles down from Wall Street to our level. No matter how much money we sweat for, or borrow -- or Congress borrows in our name without ever asking us -- and throw at Wall Street, the money sticks up there on the fortieth floor.
Then it disappears into that bizarro funhouse mirror of the real economy, the virtual economy -- euphemistically called banking and investment and the market. Our market system of "investment" is based upon getting in at the right moment, grabbing other people's money, then getting out fast. Which pretty much describes the key elements a bank heist.''

How ignorant we must look to the world. Why can't these morons use spell check? It's so easy. Run your slogan through spell check before you paint a sign and show the world what an idiot you are.

I may have to revive my entrepreneurial idea of attending teabagger rallies with an assortment of markers, tape, correction fluid, glue, a dictionary, a hidden mike, and a bunch of hidden cameras.
