Think about the eeny meeny miny mo jingle

[tubby_mcgee 662]

Its just funny...on a lot of levels.

Eeny meeny miny mo.
Catch a nxxxxx by the toe
IF he hollers make him pay
$50 every day.

 

And wasn't there an add on? 

"and you are not it" like.....used to determine who was "it" in tag? 

Its coming back to me now.

 

Why by the toe?
And why make him pay just because he hollered?  And really, if you holler because you got caught by the toe, it was probably in some sort of a powerful trap--(yet small enough just to grab just the toe)

And why $50 every single day? It's about impossible for him to come up with $50 every day.

 

And lastly, imagine if a 1st grade teacher taught this to their class on the first day of school. And that's all they worked on from 8:30am til 3:30 pm.

That's not the version I learned.  It was a tiger and if he hollered you let him go.  There were no n#ggers and no fifty dollars.  Who taught you this sh1t?

The only Eenie meanie minie moe word I think I may have spelled right is 'moe,' but Mo Vaughn may disagree.

Apparently Tubby isn't crazy.

I remember both versions. As a foul mouthed kindergartner in 1986, I recited the version tubby speaks of.

This is one I heard as a kid:

Daniel Boone was a maaaaan, 

Yes a biiiiiig man,

But the bear was a bigger,

So he ran like a ###### up a tree.

Don't even ask Tubby what the add-on was about his momma.

B l u e and you are not it

We had the filthy version as well when I was growing up. We also had:

Inka Dinka

Bottle of ink

cork fell out

and you stink.

Not because your dirty

not because your clean

just because you kissed a girl 

behind a magazine. 

 

Don't know where the hell that one came from. 

[bostonlager 2,352]

Liar liar

pants on fire 

butt cheeks hanging on a telephone wire 

[OldMaid 1,759]

Milk, milk

Lemonade

Around the corner the fudge is made.

 

Anyone remember that one?

And if I'm doing this with 3 or more people and I want to eliminate all but 1, I change it to "and you are it"
