Hello, Puzzlers
The first Sunday of every month is always special here at Kospuzzles. It's a puzzle potluck! Everyone gets to create a puzzle for us to share, and our noble puzzlemaster, Nova Land, gets to join as a solver.
Today, we have a Juliecrostic from me, another from science (and his are always a super challenge!) and a spoonerism puzzle from Nova.
If you have a puzzle to bring to our table, either Kosmail me or add it in the comments and I'll edit it into the puzzle.
So: Juliecrostic #2, 25!
First, a Julie from science. He warns us that there is one rule of Juliecrostics that he breaks in this puzzle. Hmmm.

And from Nova, something different!
Joonerisms!
For my contribution to the June potluck puzzle party, I took 9 familiar phrases, spoonerized them, and wrote paraphrases of the spoonerized phrase (trying to avoid using any words from the original or the spoonerized version in the paraphrase).
The Sunday Puzzle gremlins then contributed a 10th spoonerism, which I've included at the end.
Seven of the answers are 3-word phrases; two of the answers are 2-word phrases.
1. make potato snack into a solid cube and simmer it slowly
2. member of Obama's party with website devoted to coiffures
3. use epoxy on metal alloy
4. stomach swelling which wasn't there previously
5. humorous cigar-smoking editor influenced the opinions of Callum and Sandra Good
6. censor the words of Elongated Man's wife
7. ask God to be good to Barrymore and Greenberg
8. putting flashy jewelry on Grafton and Storm
9. rambunctious person attempting to solve this puzzle, with yellower hair
And here's the gremlins' contribution:
