Help me come up with a pneumonic device

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

One of my teachers is terrible with names, and is making everyone come up with a pneumonic device to help remember their name.

Example -

Grizzly Blair for Mr. Blair
Stupid Stephanie

etc.

This is the stupidest thing I've ever been assigned, but I can't think of anything for my name (Christian).

Anyone have any suggestions? I don't care how stupid it is, as you can tell this is a ridiculously stupid assignment.

anyway i thought a mnemonic device was "every good boy deserves fudge" (i.e. each word representing a letter).

Especially useful when your teacher is handing out grades.

Then it won't do little Christian any good with having something that sounds like his name, will it?

Why do you need help remembering your name?

leaves of three, leave them be.
leaves of four, smoke some more!

(to avoid getting poison ivy/oak while looking for a secluded, private place in the woods to wax it)

that is but one kind of mnemonic device, there are many. choose wisely.

For example, my two stupidest mnemonic devices are Johnny Mnemonic (starring Keanu Reeves) to remember the spelling and meaning of "mnemonic" (Christ, a meta-mnemonic device) & those mountain dew commercials from the earlier 90s: "get vertical, get vertical, with the power of de-ew!" to learn vertical from horizontal

to remember whether P or O comes first in the alphabet, i think of naughty by nature. OPP. Other comes before People's (and/or Pussy).

if you ride valiantly into your classroom tomorrow on a white steed, and heroically slay the class scoundrel, writing your name with his blood on the slate, mr. blair will NEVER forget it.
