<![CDATA[Spoonerisms]]>I've made a new page on my site with some spoonerism riddles, of the bad money/mad bunny variety that was so heinously botched by the dingeoneer in S3, but I'd like some more.

Drassil has sent me this extra one...

What's the difference between a red-clad mage and a Chinese philosopher who won't throw things away?

One is Hordriss the Confuser and the other is Confucius the Hoarder.

But can the rest of you think up some more for me?

Go to http://havetstorm.tripod.com/knightmare/id41.html

to read the others.

I can't imagine where you got the idea for such obscenity. Looks innocent. Here's a clean one;-

What's the difference between a large body of water below the Tower of Time, and Hordriss' perspective of Sidriss the Confused?

One is Dunswater, the other is One's Daughter.

Actually, the dirty ones are funnier.

I'm not sure if this is a Spoonerisam but here gose.

What Is The Differrenc Between Fidjit & Skarkill ?

One Picks Locks The Other Locks You In The Stocks.

Although that is not a spoonerism, one can be derived from it:

What's the difference between a perfect night in for Fidjit and for Mildread?

For one it's picking locks, for the other...

Sorry for lowering the tone... but I'm not finished yet!

What's the difference between Brother Mace securing a container of alcohol and Festus encountering Oakley?

One locks his keg, the other...

Me definately got the wrong type of riddle!

Apologies for the triple post thread hi-jack, I kept on remembering during each lecture break..... Shoulda just started a thread of me own.  Sorrrreeeeee.

For those who may have tried the riddles at the top of the thread answers are:-

  1. Steam Train (Like cars often refered to as 'horseless carraiges')

  2. Helicopter (Rotors instead of wings and first designed by Leonardo da Vinci but only built in modern times.)

  3. Bermuda TRIANGLE   insert groan here

I'll try and get the 'script' right next time!

I am never any good at them sorts of things though. Drassil in the mean time seems to be a natural when it comes to the old jokes, spoonerisms, etc. His jokes make me laugh .

What is the difference between an Majida and an elf?

One is annoying, loud mouthed and insulting and the other is Elita!

Or is this something completely different?

I don't know if one like that one or a similar one has been used in another thread before by someone else. Sorry to the person if it has!

So, I've gone from 'perfect' to 'sad' within a few posts. Oh well, that's life.

Let's compromise. You're perfectly sad. How does that sound?  😉

And no, Skarkill, I'm afraid it's not a spoonerism you've got there, it's just a rhyme. Sorry 'bout that.

You've clearly been putting a lot of thought into them. How sad. Still I'm the one who invented the topic, so who am I to talk?

I'll add 'em to the page soon.

What's the difference between...

...A cat shedding hair in high temperatures, and a jester coming to a stop?

One's molting hotly, and the other's a halting Motley.

...Hordriss and Golgarach?

One's walking tall, and the other's...

A female parent's orthodontic device, and a tavern monk?

One's a mother brace, the other is...

...Good driving and a Goblin Master?

One's car skill and the other's...

What's the difference between the Dungeon Antechamber and a urinal with a custodian who charges money?

In one are Pickle and Treguard, and in the other, you trickle then pay guard.

Other examples include "Get me a well-boiled icicle", "You have tasted a whole worm" and "Is the bean dizzy?"

       Mount Fear--->Fount Mear

or can it be any letters

       Mount Fear--->Count Sear

(I am not an idiot I just cannot remember this)

For example, you could make Mount Fear into Fount Meer, but thinking up a riddle to go with that is next to impossible!

One is called Lord Fear and the other is called Ford Lear.

"From geometric waters outside the dungeon be me. Many have come here but few have left....."

"WHERE am I?"

"Soar I do not and wings I do not have, yet an italian throws me aloft and our contemparies keep me there."

"What am I?"

"A fire breathing horse be me and many a rider I carry, My masters don't use whips nor spurs but 2 sword blades guide my fate."

"What am I?"

Answer next time I'm past here...
