Spazy Croonerisms 15

1) bed item and grape beverage & a tree and a tree
2) stony headwear & rodent puck handler
3) locomotive accident & a wading bird's garbage

Well, personally, I always find Spoonerisms fun.

Really don't care for these, but I guess they're great if you like them. Although I'm new and have not seen these before, I notice they all repeats. Do they ever put new ones on?
Finally some recent comments. This is all I can say cause I didn't get it.

Doehead and cutebug always amuse me. Hardly ever are they in a good mood and are almost more fun than the teaser. I love those two.

Interesting observation Babe.
On to the teaser: puck handler would be a hockey player, maybe puck game would have been a better choice. Happy Friday!
