If instead of being a way to punish people by scourging them with a whip, it were a place for someone to publish their thoughts online, it would be this...

specify letter other than "B" (if desired):
Be Bules
- Once you B4-icize a word, you still have to pronounce it the same way as the original, even though its phonetic-nicity-ism-ness may have been transformed too. Changing word into bord would be pronounced "bird", and would be spelled as such in the B4 answer (you would actually spell out "bird" in your answer, not "bord" - spell it the way it sounds).
- You don't have to cleverly describe words that are not in the actual B4 phrase, you just can't say any words that ARE in the phrase. So you don't have to describe a baseball as an "orb that you tap into play that has stitches" if the word "baseball" is not part of the B4 (I think Chris did this). You would probably describe Phil as "a tall queer man from Iowa" if the word "Phil" was in the B4 phrase, but that's just me - you can do it how you see fit.
- Consonant-clusters can be replaced by a single "b", but they do not have to.
- Replace "qu" with a "b" in all words that begin with "qu". Quiet would by buy-it, not bwhy-it. No exceptions.
- Only replace the first letter (or letters) of the word in question, even if the word is a compound word. Thanksgiving would be Banks-giving, as in Art's most recent B4 - not Banks-biving.
- Hyphenated words count as separate words and should each be B4-icized. Father-in-law would be Bother-bin-baw.
- The most important rule: you can make up any other rule you want and even completely change any of the rules in the partial list above as long as you explain what you are doing in your B4. These rules are just the standards for starting the B4 and you can deviate any way you want. Don't you feel so free now? You can do whatever you want! You... you.... you can do whatever you want!! (that quote was a reference to the stand-up comedian whose first name he and I share and last name would be, if instead of what it is, the act of existing as the shortened version of the name of this formerly gray and currently white wizard.)
