View Full Version : "Facts of Life" Limericks
RetroGuy2000 12-27-2018, 12:05 AM Personally I disagree with "built like a school bus", as that's a heated argument with shouting out-and-out insults. I think of "catty" as being more "sly" or "digging" (with a hint of style, haha). But this could all be semantics, lol.
Sue Ann had recently (just two months earlier) gone on a starvation diet, causing her to faint in front of everyone. Everyone knew she was experiencing extreme worries about her weight. Worries that were totally unjustified, as she wasn't overweight at all.
Cindy knew this, and yet made slams about her Sue Ann's weight nonetheless. It was an unnecessary dig, as Sue Ann was not built like a school bus. If it wasn't catty, it was petty: totally unnecessary, given the recent circumstances.
Natalie was definitely catty in "Running", getting what I call her "prevenge" for the Lost Girls' cattiness in "Sex Symbol", where Cindy again is quite catty toward not just Natalie but also Helen.

Yeah, Facts of Facts references how there are a lot of the jokes about Sue Ann being fat, especially by Blair.
OR the lost girls were getting revenge on Natalie for being mean there ;)

Yes, they do observe the weight digs... but we expect this from Blair. When it comes from Cindy, it's quite a shock. But we discover that Cindy is no Miss Innocent herself.
OR the lost girls were getting revenge on Natalie for being mean there ;)
A dish served cold... much like rice pudding...
'80sSitcoms 12-27-2018, 12:57 AM C'mon, these are kids (teens, but still). The girls got into a fight, and kids thoughtlessly yell and insult each other when they get angry. After all, Sue Ann did just essentially call Cindy a "pig face" in front of all their friends, so I'm sure she got very hurt/humiliated/hot-headed at that moment! (there's my quota of "h" words for the night :lol: ) At that moment I can just feel Cindy's heat rising, lol.

Cindy Schmindy, I find it much more interesting with Sue Ann getting catty with Natalie, after Natalie really needled her in "Running". OOOOooooo! :eek: (heehee)
(Nat's such the affable jokester, I wonder if after her shoulder-gripping catty dig Sue Ann later was like, "And what was with Natalie? What did I ever do to her??" lol)

Oh, Sue Ann wasn't Miss Innocent, either.
But ultimately, Mr. Bradley is responsible for the whole mess. Those girls would never have started in on each other without his goading.
It's nice to see that Sue Ann and Cindy stayed "buddies forever" despite that incident.

There's another theory!
But would Bradley's ego ever allow him to stoop to cleaning up after horses? He seems a bit too haughty for that line of work.

And what of Miss Mahoney? The only reason she'd go in the stable is to get those rabbits in trouble! :grineyes:

Very, very true.
Inspired by your limerick, here's one of my own:
There once was a girl, Cindy Webster
Who cared for Sue Ann, and caressed her
But then Blair saw them touching
And started her judging
It caused a bad start that semester

Sue Ann was so kind to Cindy that year: befriending her, helping her with track, and just being a good friend. I'm not at all surprised that Cindy developed a crush on her.

Hmmm, interesting...I don't know that I would call it a girl crush, but I can see what you mean. I think I would say she maybe started off having a girl crush on her, which then developed into a mutual best friendship.
Hmm, Ive never heard that term.
You haven't?? You've never heard of a girl crush or a man crush?
It's, like, where you really, really like someone of your own gender so much that you totally admire them and you're all giddy over them in a completely platonic way. When the focus is on celebrities, you just love the idea of if they knew you existed and thought you were cool enough to wanna actually voluntarily hang out with you and get to be your friend.
People nowadays have discussions and Q&As about who your celebrity "man crush" or "girl crush" is.

It definitely did. We saw that relationship blossom and grow, and it wasn't the same kind of relationship at the beginning that it was in the end. And while they both seemed close to Nancy as well, there was something special about the Cindy-Sue Ann friendship: "buddies forever" seemed the appropriate terminology; "pals to the end", and we witnessed them being pals from the very first episode, almost to the end (43 episodes from the end of the show).

We get very silly with artistic liberties around this thread! :lol:
A better last line would be:
'Cause he'd like to send his tic head to the MOON-Y! :lol:
Well there ya go, lol.
OH Nuts! 04-14-2020, 03:07 PM Some limericks here are quite silly
And others so funny: a dilly
So make up a “lim”
With whatever your whim
The reception: unlikely quite chilly!
'80sSitcoms 04-14-2020, 03:12 PM cfr kept slamming poor Natalie
For he said that she acted quite bad-alie
But on season 7's watch
He spit out his scotch
When he saw he now watched her quite glad-alie!

Natalie was a bore
Her father would die
Mindy learned how to cry
And her acting became much more mature! :lol:

Pal-ling around with best friend “Nat”:
Pleasingly plump not really fat
Both funny and sunny to boot!
'80sSitcoms 04-15-2020, 01:33 PM There once was a comp'ny named Reelz
Who with many "Facts" people made dealz
This docu was new
Making fans go "woo-hoo!"
And it gave all Lost Girl fans "the feelz"

RetroGuy2000 05-09-2020, 11:35 AM There once was a Lisa, naive
Who fell for a preacher named Steve
They had three kids in a row
Twenty years passed, dontcha know
And then Lisa decided to leave
'80sSitcoms 05-09-2020, 12:50 PM So much for arranged marriages...
'80sSitcoms 05-09-2020, 12:52 PM Eastland, 'twas said, had a pool
And that is, like, totally cool
But none of our girls
Would see "wet" their curls
So 'twas never on screen at the school

That was refreshing (like a pool)!
There once was a bowl of cheese dip
That when setting the table, was skipped
They asked Cindy please
To bring out the cheese
But she wouldn't lift one fingertip! :lol:

RetroGuy2000 05-10-2020, 11:38 PM This limerick is dedicated to Dawn Schroder, AKA Jenny.
There once was a student named Jenny
An Eastland girl (one of the many!)
She had golden tresses
And burgundy dresses
But never ate at the ole Denny's! :lol:

'80sSitcoms 05-11-2020, 12:47 AM There once was a birdie named Bruce
Who watched TV with birdie juice*
He did love the "Facts"
But flew at "Girls" with attacks
So he and cfr made a truce!
(*taking poetic liberty as I'm sure cfr doesn't go to the grocery and buy "Birdie Juice")

'80sSitcoms 05-22-2020, 12:18 PM There once was a city called Paris
Visited by Blair, an heiress
Her friends were there too
Mrs. Garrett was blue
But Chef Antoine hardly could care-iss!
RetroGuy2000 05-22-2020, 12:44 PM :lol:
The girls went to Paris, in France
While Edna obeyed strictest commands
They ran around town
To places renouned
And Jo had a biker romance
'80sSitcoms 05-22-2020, 12:55 PM :lol:
Mrs. Garrett studied how to cook French
But the chef, in her plans, threw a wrench!
But she did persevere
And conquered her fear
And kicked his French *ss to the bench!

'80sSitcoms 06-05-2020, 12:05 AM Mrs. Garrett had a magical smock
And of it, her girls all did talk
A candle was there
And a tender-i-zair
And probably pencils and chalk!

'80sSitcoms 02-03-2021, 11:19 AM There once was a tall girl named Nancy
Whose wordage for math was quite fancy
Not "math" would she say
But "arithmetic", gay
So 'twas her intelligent stance-y

'80sSitcoms 02-11-2021, 02:35 PM Blair brushes paint on a canvas

'80sSitcoms 02-12-2021, 12:39 PM Poor Sue Ann was all out of luck
For her happiness, Blair loved to muck
The farm girl saw red
And angrily said
To go find a haystack and suck
RetroGuy2000 02-12-2021, 12:57 PM For Blair Warner, money's a factor
(Her dad is the school's benefactor)
But Sue Ann got mad
A fight they did have
And Blair told her where to park tractor
RetroGuy2000 02-12-2021, 02:09 PM There once was a tiger and hat
An Eastland dorm room's where they sat
They witnessed huge changes
The cast rearranges
In the bedroom of Toot and Nat
'80sSitcoms 02-12-2021, 02:17 PM Lol, nice...that reminds me how my algebra teacher my junior year encouraged to use "factor" for "the F word": "You can just say, 'Oh, factor!' " :lol:

'80sSitcoms 02-19-2021, 04:26 PM There once were some flat marigolds

That will actually always be my favourite episode from season 2: 'The new girl' was the introduction of JO, and when the 'Core of 4' got in trouble together for the first time lol! (landing in jail, after being discovered sneaking in a bar was an unforgettable experience!)

This one's in honor of "Free Spirit":
There once was a school near Poughkeepsie*
Where Garrett's young son is a gypsy
He lies about stuff
'Til she's had enough
And packs his bags, destined for Cinci
*artistic license, as Peekskill and Poughkeepsie are only 30 miles apart.
