AMC is playing the hell out of Negan’s ‘Eenie… meenie… miney… Moe’ line. And I can’t help but say it in my head as 'Eenie, [Manny, Moe, and Jack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pep_Boys).

My father (who owned a gas/service station in the 30s) actually knew Manny, Moe, and Jack, but he didn’t know no Eenie.

I still remember the little jingle at the end of their commercials.

But I remember [The Dickies song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjRf6B6L8Xo) better.

My aunt always said her three kids were “Eenie, meenie, miney, and there ain’t no Mo’.”

When I hear Manny, Moe and Jack, I think of [“What was her name? Doris? Laura? Chloe? Manny? Moe? Jack? No…it couldn’t have been Moe.”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D2A32KUTq0)

I prefer the Martin Riggs line: “Eenie, meenie, miney…Hey Moe!” [Lethal Weapon 2 (6/10) Movie CLIP - Sometimes I Just Go Nuts (1989) HD - YouTube](https://youtu.be/ysIsqzXZyN0?t=1m45s)
