5.0 out of 5 stars So much fun!, April 3, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Stoopnagle's Tale Is Twisted: Spoonerisms Run Amok (Paperback)
This book is a lot of fun! Great for small gatherings of friends. Provides a lot of laughs as you stumble and bumble your way through the tongue twisters. And the listener has to try to figure it out as you go along. Also a great book for those who love brain-teasers. I highly recommend this for your coffee table!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Larrel of Baffs!, October 15, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Stoopnagle's Tale Is Twisted: Spoonerisms Run Amok (Paperback)
The art of the Spoonerism consists of taking words and transposing sounds from one word to another. One might say Col. Lemuel Q. Stoopnagle wrote the Spoonerism bible, and this is the Keen James version. While keeping the 43 fables and fairy tales largely intact, James has done a bit of updating of pop culture references Stoopnagle may have used - certainly Stoopnagle never compared Beeping Sleuty to Spitney Brears and Rulia Joberts, as he'd bied before they were dorn. The book not only includes the fales and tables, but also appendices about Reverend Spooner, the Colonel, and Spoonerisms. Read the stories to yourself or read them to others and have a great time doing it. A warning: you may find yourself Spoonerizing spontaneously after reading. Go right ahead if it fickles your tancy.
