      1) "I" before "E" except after "C" or when sounded as "A" as in "neighbor" and "weigh"
      Yup-this pops into my head almost EVERY time I spell a word with an I and an E. Even when I know which comes first I can't resist the urge to say it to myself lol Maybe a double-check I do without realizing it!

      In 8th grade, our parish priest told us that kissing on the mouth before marriage was a mortal sin & we'd go to hell

      Looking through your fingers on Heads Up 7 Up is frowned upon.

      Pretend your hand is a salt shaker...then put your head back and pretend like you're shaking salt into your mouth. You will actually taste salt.


      Not really...but it sure does look funny!!!

      There's also the knuckle trick
      make a fist and start at your pinky knuckle of your left hand
      For every knuckle, that corresponding month has 31 days
      the space inbetween the knuckles, those corresponding months have 30 (feb 28)

      What about the thumb? August would be a thumb, right? Well, then September would also be a thumb and September has 30 days while August does not. I'm confused. lol

      In music, Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge. Lines in the staff, E-G-B-D-F

      In a school yard fight, "talking it out" gets your *kitten* whooped, every time. My lifetime record in schoolyard fights: 0-3. :sad:

      If you shoot at your neighborhood bully with a BB gun, the cops will want to have a chat with you.

      I can still sing a song of all 50 states in alphabetical order.

      This thread brought out an emotion I had not felt in a while...

      I HATE mnemonics. Always had more trouble remembering the ****ing mnemonic than the information it went with.

      If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat.

      If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown, flush it down.

      Let's not forget:

      My Very Excellent Mother Just Sent Us Nine Pizzas (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto).

      And then NASA had to go & ruin it by taking Pluto out of the mix...so WTF is my excellent mom going to send me now...f**k you, NASA.

      when caught doing something inappropriate on the recess field. Always take the hit and never give up how many of you were playing...and don't even think about naming names....

      I learned to take one for the team...and I learned that the team LOVED me.

      :wink:

      I can't believe no one has mentioned Roy G Biv for the colors of the Rainbow!

      Red
      Orange
      Yellow
      Green
      Blue
      Indigo
      Violet

      Although I never really understood the difference between Indigo and violet...and why couldn't we just say Purple??
