Shout out to primary school which made us memorize the beautitudes which along with jabberwocky is probably why I am the way I am.

If you're curious about what the Beatitudes say.

And if you poor soul have never read Jaberwocky

Note: I am not saying the way I am is good. This is a neutral statement.

Oh the meek! Oh that's nice I'm glad they're getting something, they've a hell of a time.

Blessed Are The Meekyoutu.be Blessed are the Greek...no, it's the meek.

lol is this monty python?

It is, The Life of Brian

I was 12 when i saw Life of Brian for the first time. This movie (and probably PCs) is why I am how I am. (Also a neutral statement)

The band Ambrosia did a song called Momma Frog that has a wonderful reading of the Jabberwocky in it. Prof Rick was really something. music.apple.com/us/album/mam...

Prog Rock. Ugh. Need to unsack the copy editor.

bravo for learning to say "calumnies" in your youth

I miss being that young and that excited about life and words and weirdness.

I read everything I could get my hands on and as a result didn't know how to *pronounce* many of those words

same!

Jabberwocky was the first non-religious poem I ever memorized

Mine was probably something from Shel Silverstein like Sister for Sale 😂

hm good point, it might've been a Shel Silverstein. Certainly those poems take up a very large part of my brain even to this day.

Blessed are the Cheesemakers.

I had to memorize both those and now I'm wondering if that's common or you went to my elementary school
