It’s almost 10am on a Saturday morning and I’m somehow NOT watching the Crest commerical. “Look! It’s the CAVITY CREEPS!” “We. Make. Holesinteeth!” Unreal. Who remembers the latchkey PSAs starring Will E. Survive? I can’t remember how they started but I remember this bit: “Will E. Survive? Will E. Survive??? WILL E. SURVIVE??” Yeah! Will E. used his common sense. Don’t panic, thats the key! Go to a friend or neighbor’s Find a safe place you can be. Get to a phone, keep calling home Until someone arrives. Yeah, Will E. Survives! ---

> [@Odinoneeye](#): > > So to keep you mom from grumbling > and stop your stomach rumbling > and keep your legs from stumbling > when you praaaaaaay (had to keep religion in there you know)! Mmm, no…it was “plaaaaaay”, which makes a lot more sense anyway. How would you stumble when you’re on your knees? I submit: Push the plunger down Set the timer Get the pieces in place, don’t be slow With Perfection you’ve gotta (hmm hmm) fast, (hmm hmm) fast, Or the pieces pop out before you put in the last And that’s Perfection! ---

Hey? Remember the Faygo song? Comic books and rubber bands Climbing to the tree top Falling down and holding hands Tricycles and Redpop Pony rides and Sunday nights Roller skates and yoyos Fairy tales and snowball fights Climbin’ through the window Remember when you were a kid? Well, part of you still is And that’s why we make Faygo Faaaaaygooo rememmmmbers DOOoooo YooOooou Rememmmmber? (The longer version had this verse…) Flying kites and funny shoes Easter eggs with speckles ABCs and counting by twos Washing off the freckles Kissing a hurt to make it stop Startin’ school in September So many things you almost forgot Tryin’ to remember Remember when you were a kid? Well, part of you still is And that’s why we make Faygo Faygo remembers DoooOoo yooOooou rememmmmber? Nasty soda – cute song. ---

And this is why I love **Family Guy**. Finally, my generation has its own satirist. I forget the episode, but Peter once told Brian that Lois has often been worried that he’ll fall in with a bad crowd. Cut to the Cavity Creeps marching across the landscape…and I almost fell out of my chair. “I didn’t even REMEMBER that commercial! McFarlane, you are a frickin’ genius!” Okay, my submission: _Muncha buncha muncha buncha muncha buncha muncha buncha Fritos go with lunch!_ Og help the kid who had Fritos in his lunch at my school. ---
