Years ago, when I was at a gathering in San Antonio, Texas, someone talked about a party game which would demonstrate the power of the English Language.
The idea was to take the word “Prong” or any derivation thereof, and use it to replace a key word or two in either movie, book or song titles. Of course those of us older than third graders could find more than one meaning to the word “Prong” – but, then, that’s what made it all so funny.
Some of the titles the group came up with:
How Green Was My Prong
They Pronged With Their Boots On
Santa Claus is Coming to Prong
Bring Me the Prong of Alfredo Garcia
Suppose They Gave a Prong and Nobody Came?
The Prong of Zorro
The Man with the Golden Prong
The Wizard of Prong
The Terror of Tiny Prong
On The Sunnyside of the Prong
The Texas Prongsaw Massacre
My Wild Irish Prong

The Private Prong of Sgt. O’Farrell
Night of the Living Prong
The Three Prongateers
Jesse James Prongs Frankenstein’s Daughter
Billy the Kid Prongs Dracula
Santa Claus Prongs the Martians
The Way We Prong
Frankenstein Prongs The Wolfman
Do You Know The Way to Prong Jose?
Davy Crockett, Prong of the Wild Frontier

Deck the Halls with Prongs of Holly
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Prong?
The Boogie Woogie Bugle Prong of Company B

Hundreds of titles were bandied about that night, so these are but a few I was able to recall.
