I Read That As: The Forum Version

In a Facebook ad:

Want to completely turn around your life in the next 5 minutes? —> Want to completely ruin your life in the next 5 minutes?

The latter would only make sense if it were an ad for tv tropes.

I... just accidentally misread the “General Crimes Thread” as “General Christmas Thread.” XD ^_^;;

Chocolate-Covered Raisin Day -> Chocolate-Covered Racist Day.

Hoo boy...

Part of a headline I saw somewhere:

The American Army Warehouse —> The American Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse wasn't American, of course, but it could mean there's some American singer that someone considers a Spiritual Successor.

Mincemeat —> Minecraft

It was a poll about pies, so I was wondering what a Minecraft pie would be.

Sam's reaction to Gollum - Sans's reaction to Gollum

Nobody harms her - nobody blames her

More even headset - even more headset

I just love how wizards in fiction went from being stereotypically scrawny nerds to hitting the gym. —> I just love how lizards in fiction etc.

I was wondering if there was some sort of stereotype about weak, nerdy lizards.

I've also misread the Groove Coaster song "Glithcre" as "Glitchcre" a bunch of times (though apparently it's meant to be an anagram of "Glitcher" anyway)

I misread Groove Coaster as Grover Cleveland just now

Glanced at a list of new Playstation trophy lists and misread a game title:

Saint Patrick's Day Break Head to Head - Saint Patrick's Day Break to the Head. Sounds painful...

That just made me remember one of my favorite jokes from Svengoolie. XD He and a visiting leprechaun had just finished singing a song about Ireland, and they had this exchange afterward:

Svengoolie: Hey, how about next year, we do an Irish rap?
Leprechaun: I'll give you an Irish rap! -clonks him on the head with his shillelagh-

Leek Cookie + Moon Rabbit Cookie = Leek Rabbit Cookie

Hauled Before A Senate Subcommittee -> "Haunted By a Senate Subcommittee."

"Entries That Make You Go Lol" as "Entries that Make You Go LO!"

Diet Episode - Dirt Episode

I joined a facebook group themed around fae recently, and I guess I spend too much time looking at it, because I just read "please don't tempt fate like that" as "please don't tempt fae like that". Probably good advice either way.

anyway, I'll finish my lunch first -> anyway, I'll unfinish my lunch first

Improvised Clothes - Improvised Children

Male Restroom Etiquette - Male Mushroom Etiquette

Common Route - Cinnamon Route

"This whole thing is just a bundle of feels" —> "This whole thing is just a bundle of eels"

I was wondering what describing something as a "bundle of eels" would mean - maybe it's slippery and hard to grasp. Maybe it's full of people speaking a foreign language poorly even though they think they're fluent.

Meat Versus Veggies - Meat Versus Vegeta

Noble Shoplifter —> Noble Shapeshifter

I thought I read the trope name wrong when I actually didn't. :P

Bakumatsu Rock: Ultra Soul - Bakamitai Rock: Ultra Soul

Also, just now : Mars Versus Veggies

Cooking Thread = Cocking Thread

Is it about guns? Roosters? Something dirtier? We'll never know.
