Whatever fits your schedule; I don’t want to be a burden.
Get an AOL Chat room you two.
Now I know why Lynn borrowed my Barry White CDs. :smack:
… not without his hoodie anyway.
Bryan_Ekers:
As an incidental note, learning the alphabet backward is pretty easy since it breaks down into handy rhymes:
ZYX and WV,
UTS and RQP.
ONM and LKJ,
IHG, FED and CBA.
I learned that when I was ten. With practice, you can drop the “ands”.
Joey_P:
Back in grade school (maybe high school) I was bored one day, so I wrote the alphabet backwards and memorized it over the course of the next hour or two and can still recite it backwards. Oddly, it comes in pretty handy. It’s really nice for flipping thorough dictionaries or phone books, not that I have to do that all that often anymore, but being able to work my way through them backwards as well as forwards is nice.
j_sum1:
I taught my four-year old daughter to sing the alphabet backwards using the same Twinkle Twinkle tune that was popularised by Sesame St.
Works better with the Anglicised “Zed” than Zee.
Zed Y X “double Yoo” V U
T S R Q P O N
M L K J I H
G F E D C B A
Now I know my CBA
The alphabet is fun this way.
Waaay off the OP but I don’t think this thread was going anywhere fast anyway.
You never know when this will come in handy. On one of those late night shows way back when, the host – Johnny Carson? Joey Bishop? – would at the beginning sometimes go out into the audience and ask for odd feats of skill. One person recited the alphabet backward and got something like a hundred bucks!
Morgyn:
All those illustrations show going in from the top/through the rib cage. Personally, I’ve always found going in from beneath the rib cage and angling up to the heart to be much easier. No pesky bones getting in the way. Do you have any idea how much force is required to crack ribs? And you have to get that heart out *quickly *so it’s still beating!
There’s a knack to it, but it takes forever to learn. You go through so many sacrifices that just aren’t acceptable. [There’s plenty of incentive to learn before you use up your allotment, though; if you do ruin too many, you’re next!]
What?
The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and up.
Sometimes a pinch on the butt works wonders, as well.

That always gets my attention.

At first they came for the trolls, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a troll. They they came for the socks and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a sock. Then they came for the those who ignore mod instructions, and I didn’t speak out because I don’t ignore mod instructions.
And then I realized that I actually enjoyed the board more without those guys, so screw them.
Grrr

If **Colibri ** wasn’t so busy harassing people, he would’ve closed this thread already, because it’s gotten way off track.
Oh! Come and see the repression inherent in the system! Help, help, I’m being repressed!
A harasser’s work is never done.
Colibri put the “d” in harass.
Or the Hummingbird Velveeta.
There’s no rest for the wicked.
It has, yes. I left it open in case matt357 had anything else to add, but since it’s been days, I’ll close it now.
