From Mister Roger's Neighborhood circa when the dinosaurs roamed the Earth:
Propel, propel, propel your craft
Gently down liquid solution
Ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically
Existence is but an illusion.
I guess I predate the dinosaur era, but the 2nd line in the version I learned was:
I've just listened to the podcast where a caller sang a more elite version of “Three Blind Mice.†The rendition I know, from at least 40 years ago, was what we knew as the Harvard version, as follows:A trio of rodents with defective eyesight,A trio of rodents with defective eyesight,Observe how they perambulate,Observe how they perambulate.They all scurried up to the agrarian's spouse;She severed their appendages with a culinary instrument.Did you ever observe such a catastrophe in your existenceAs a trio of rodents with defective eyesight?A trio of rodents with defective eyesight.
When I was in my youth, a friend taught me a hifalutin Show Me the Way to Go Home:
Indicate the way to my abode
I'm fatigued and I wish to retire
I had a tiny beverage sixty minutes ago
And it went straight to my cerebellum
Wherever in this world I may perambulate
Over land, or sea or atmospheric vapor
You can always hear me chanting this refrain
Indicate the way to my abode
Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but upon re-hearing the "Crazy Crossword Clues" segment repeated this week, I came up with a doozie:
Simpsons Would-be Bartender (11 letters)
Anyone care to take a crack at it? (Note that "would-be" is significant, and "Moe Syzlak" doesn't have eleven letters.)
Probably wrong, but sure, I'll take a crack (three actually): Syzlakophile? Wannabeamoe? Alchomoelic?
That's the required 11 letters, but the "would-be" part has me stumped.
EDIT: Just read your previous post, and that happened to me too. No idea how long my message was sitting there before I noticed it. Would be good if maybe, when the count is anything other than zero, the text "Inbox: 0" changes colors, like to "Inbox: 1" or whatever color Grant likes.

I'll put it in spoiler tags:
Sideshow Bob. Break up the last word of the clue as "Bart-ender" and you'll see how it works.
I was taught cursive writing in third grade, and wrote exclusively in it until about 2007 when I realized that hardly anyone could read it, including my teachers. I can still read and write it, however. Now I write mostly in print, and my handwriting is rather neat (it has to be, since I also write IPA on a daily basis). I use the two-story a and quite a few ligatures.
Male, 16. I was born and currently reside in Nogales, Sonora, but I lived from 2003 to 2008 in Tucson.
