- The people of the village stepped back all at once, gasps echoing through the crowd. It was a vile abomination that had been brought to them, and now they had to decide
- what to do about the hairy naked man statue that mysteriously appeared in the town square. The village people could not budge the 4-ton statue. No, it was there to stay alright.
- Even more mysterious, the carpet didn't match the drapes on the hairy naked man statue.The King decreed whoever explained these mysteries would get a bag of gold, a loaf of bread &

For those of you old enough to remember Sesame Street from the late 80's, my line, completed perfectly by MoralEnd, is take on a Sesame Street vignette. A little girl was sent to the store by her mother to buy a container of milk, a loaf of bread, and a stick of butter. As the little girl walked to the store, she got distracted by various things along the way, but would repeat "a container of milk, a loaf of bread and a stick of butter" each time so she wouldn't forget what she was supposed to buy. One of the things I think is really fun about FS is when someone throws out a subtle reference that the next folder picks up on and uses for their fold.

I remember that. Found it on u-tube recently. We often use memes like that to give more context. It is a trick to overcome the 180 character limit. A meme is worth a 1000 words (if the next person recognizes it)!

How could any of us who heard it forget it? The kid said it so many times. But I remember that the animation was wonderfully free, and it was an actual child's voice. "I remembered! I remembered!"
