Malapropisms (Read this aloud for maximum effect)

Let's brainscorn some Malapropisms!
Hairs the obvious ones like,"Let us Sew you to your Sheets" (Let us Snow you to your Seets silly pepole)and "A penny Shaved is a penny Learned".
Pen you have the Rot-sew-obvious ones, like "Would you Hike an Ordove?" (you need a Japenny Ascent for that one)or "Peter Packed a pickle Pezzers" (Don't know how you'll say that one).
Dumb times I think of Hose people who come to read this and Wondoor, do Hay like it? It Seams to be hostly jokes working on knowledge of Eenglesh. Sow I decided to look at Malaproper Manners in other countries:
In Russian, the Phase, "Listen to the Blabbing Brook" Looks like this.
Слушайте болтать Брук
The correct way to Spray it would be "Babbling", but it Russian it sounds totally different than the above example, so I now that Engrish Malapropism will make no Cents.
Слушайте журчащий ручеек

So I looked a Russian Malapropism up.
Note this failed due to distinct LACK of examples. On wikipedia, I Fund more malapropisms but only one with any REAL relevance.

This next Praise is copied from Wikepedia, not my work.
Examples in the Russian language
* The word rynda for "ship's bell". The English phrase "Ring the bell!" was heard by Russian seamen as "Ryndu bey!", i.e., "Hit the rynda", rynda being the word for the tsar's bodyguard. Accordingly, the phrase "to hit the rynda" was used to mean "to signal time with the ship's bell", and later the bell itself has become commonly known as ship's "rynda".

What I think Wikepedia is trying to say is "we don't make this Four Russians in English Idiot!"

So I went to Russian Translation. But there was no Malapropismos! Which leads me Too... Espanol Wikipedia.
The following is a Malapropism in Spanish:
«Me gustan los toreros que están en el candelabro»
"I like the matadors who are in the chandelier"

What Ward was the Malapropism?

Wikipedia says, Candlestick. So what do these words look like next to each other?

Nothing Like each other. But a Bull or a Killer or whatever a 'Matador' is, it boils down to this. The internet has no Russian Malapropisms.
