oh, and...

00. Apropros of absolutely nothing that's been written earlier today no sir I have this particular Elementary schoolyard taunt stuck in my head, all singsong-like:

Kindergarten baby
Stick your head in gravy
Something something something something
And sell it to the Navy

It's no Ogden Nash -- I mean, really, rhyming "baby" with "gravy" and later on, "Navy"? At best, one can describe it as a flawed masterwork. No doubt some 7-year-old was very proud of themselves the day they chose to denigrate their Kindergarten brethren and sistren (sistern?) but the fact remains that I can't for the life of me remember the third, and probably critical, line in the quatrain. All I can come out with is "wash it out with sauerkraut" and while it's a nice advanced internal rhyme, it just doesn't jibe as it should. Any suggestions?

01. I also realized today that, when you think of it, "velveeta" is a truly obscene word. That is all.

I hope this is a relatively common rhyme else I'm going to have to admit that I remembered that one from The Babysitter's Club.

Looking back, I'm so depressed about how many of those books I read. They were just horrible. Even then I could always predict exactly what would happen, and I still read them. Ugh.

I revisited a few of them as an adult and they weren't nearly as horrifying as Sweet Valley High. Oh, lord, SVH.

Obviously, they still weren't great literature.

Oh, they were terrible! What cracked my shit up, even when I was like 10, was that the characters were SO one-dimensional and stereotypical, yet she'd try to throw in diversity and disability and dysfunction issues. WTF?
