Happy Memorization Day!

[CBA]

I've known the Greek alphabet since I was six. That's been fun.

Also countless speedrun techniques in various Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and N64 games... that might just be muscle/reaction memory, but it counts!

That too! How many other words have you memorized?

[TroySanders]

all the good ones

[CBA]

Yeah but you have to give examples.

I like:

concupiscence
insouciant
esurient

Those all kinda sound the same though.

lollygag is a pretty cool word.

When basketball used to be fun in like 4th grade, my basketball coach always said "laxidaisical" instead of lackadaisical. Which annoyed me, but I suppose it is an honest mistake, as "lax" and "lackadaisical" are pretty similar. "Lollygag" reminded me of that.

Claudius: where is Polonius?

Hamlet: At Supper

Claudius: At supper? where?

Hamlet: Not where he eats, but where he is eaten. A certain convocation of politic worms Are e'en at him. Your worm is your only emperor for diet
Yeah, that's all I remember.

[snipelfritz]

Hamlet: To be or not to be?
That is the question
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind
to suffer the slings and arrows
of outrageous torment
or by opposing, end them.
To die. To sleep.
Perchance to dream.
Aye there's the rub!
For in the sleep of death
what may come when we
have shuffled off this mortal coil.
...I forget it from there.

More Shakespeare:
Double, double, toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.


But on a totally different note, it's been a bit of a challenge memorizing the words to the songs that I write for myself. Mostly because I'm constantly changing them.

My band also covered Can You Picture That? by Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. HARDEST LYRICS TO MEMORIZE EVER

"Now the Eiffel Tower's holdin' up a flower
I gave it to a Texas cat."

"I lost my heart in Texas,
Northern lights affect us
I keep it underneath my hat
Aurora Borealis, shinin' down in Dallas.
Can you picture that?"

Those puppets were doing some surrious drugs

antidisestablishmentarianism.

i'm not a pheasant feather plucker
or a feather plucker's son
but i'll pluck your pheasant's feathers
till your feather plucker comes

back when i was a teenager, i could remember the entire monologue from "Alice's Restaurant" AND all the lyrics to Bob Dylan's "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleedin').

for them that must obey authority
that they do not respect in any degree
despise their jobs, their destiny
speak jealously of them that are free
cultivate their flowers to be nothing more
than something they invest in

and though the masters make the rules
for the wise men and the fools
i got nothin', Ma
to live up to
