Without fail, my father would utter this spoonerism, always in the form of a question, whenever a can of Campbell's was opened up: "Soul o' boup, peachy pie?" He had a catalog of expressions like this, many of his own invention.
There's a certain song by the Temptations that everyone in my family sings as Pooger Shy, Bunny Hunch.
Similarly, a particular chain of family restaurants is always "Crunchy Kitten" (not strictly a spoonerism, but closely related).
Hello, my name is "natatorium" and I'm a Font Hypersensitive. It ruins my day to see font abuse. I and thousands of others suffering from the irritating effects of Comic Sans, Papyrus, and Sand are increasingly victimized by the explosion of desktop publishing by amatuer "designers" with computers.
A couple of the worst offenders for the last ten, twenty years have been The Simpons and South Park. For a long time, every bit of type or signage on The Simpsons, from theater marquees and newspaper headlines to wedding invitations and watch engravings, was Helveitca Bold, usually all caps. And it was almost always stretched or compressed horizontally to fill a space, distorting the width of the vertical elements to thin or fat while leaving the horizontals unchanged. This looks like hell.
South Park, not too surprisingly, is where all sensitivity to design is forsaken. In keeping with Eric Cartman's beyond crudely drawn double chin, the typography in South Park is rudimentary and wrong. The best example is the font used for the sign on the front of the store Tom's Rhinoplasty. A blunt insult to Font Hypersensiitves who enjoy the Futura font for its clean modernity, this bastardization completely rounds out the the upper loop of the R and P -- from clean and classy to cheap and tacky in the time it takes to select "Futuryist Plain" from the drop down menu.
Off the top of my head, how about these offerings?
A buddy of holly
A martin of rowan
A compass of roses
A Denver of mint
An eclipse of sunflowers
A driving of daisies
A vox of populus
A Frost of birches.
A bubble of sweetgum
A pack of dogwood (or of lupine)
A sunrise of morning glories
A bluing of indigo
A nose of cedars
An etui of pine
And I can't resist:
An aisle of yew.
