    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.

    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 learned "Every Good Boy Does Fine".

    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.

    Grew up in drought conditions in California, save some water!

    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.

    Multiplying by 11 once you get to double digits

    11 * 15. Last digit is always the same, add the two digits together for the 10s place and at the one to the hundreds place

    JM

    That's awesome. I had to actually do 11*15 first to see it. So cool.
    Haha I tested it too!

    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.

    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??
