HOLY FUCK I DID NOT REALIZE THAT TERMINATOR WAS ON TODAY. HOLY FUCK I ALSO DEFINITELY DID NOT REALIZE THAT TERMINATOR WAS ON LAST WEEK. 'Cause all of a sudden I look at the clock (8:37 pm) and I start screaming. And then my dad walks by and says, "Hey, I watched that show last Friday while you were sleeping. It was pretty interesting." And then I start screaming anew.

Fuck, fuck, fuck. Now my integrity is ruined.

Several days ago, I noticed that somebody had scrawled the following words on the whiteboard in my calculus class:

Green apples and bananas

The same person also wrote "Groon ooples oond boonoonoos" and other variations to that effect, accompanied by some rather childish illustrations of what appeared to be smiling apples or watermelons. I couldn't really tell.

The thing is, "Green Apples and Bananas" is the name of a song, a singing exercise that a music teacher once taught us in elementary school. The idea was to substitute the vowel sounds in the song with the common vowel sounds ah, eh, ee, oh, oo (for the vowels a, e, i, o, and u) so that the students could practice enunciating them.

So, the original lyrics,

I like to eat, I like to eat,
I like to eat green apples and bananas.
I like to eat, I like to eat,
I like to eat green apples and bananas.

would be alternately sung as

Ah lahk tah aht, Ah lahk tah aht,
Ah lahk tah aht grahn ahpples ahnd bahnahnahs.

or

Ee leek tee eet, Ee leek tee eet,
Ee leek tee eet green eeples eend beeneenees.

I remember one particular kid (still a major goofball many years later, as a high schooler) would be jokingly reprimanded by Mr. ___ for singing "bikinis" instead of "beeneenees."

I remember because just a few days before, that teacher, who I hadn't seen since the fourth or fifth grade, had committed suicide.
