Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Boys go to Mars, to get more candy bars.
Girls go to Jupiter, to get more stupider.

What is even happening?

Well, that's because boys can't get more stupid.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

he told me to "Always remember that there is 'a rat' in 'separate'!" I've never had problems spelling that word since.

Similarly, I have "Oh, CeeCee, you are red" for occurred.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I can't remember the order of Jupiter through Neptune without the mnemonic. You get beyond the asteroid belt and I get totally lost.

Turn left at Europa.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The first mnemonic I learned was at the beginning of 1st grade:

"Lady, I owe you some sugar"

except the person saying it had a speach impediment, so he says it, "A E, I owe you some sugar." For remembering the vowels (except Y. Y is always the exception.)

Since I routinely fuck up this word, hopefully I will remember this. I'm slowly shortening the list of words I routinely misspell.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But the vowels are the vowels! You don't need a mnemonic!

Pfft.

Some people.
