Beaker's language in the news

[dwmckim]

The solution: Replace "Meep" with "Mee" - after all "Meep" is pretty much a construct of Beaker represented in printed media - in actuality he rarely has a "p" on the end - it's usually a variation of "Meemeemee"...not only is it more Beaker-y but it would be a lot harder to ban "me" - English teachers could no longer teach proper grammer (and nearly every book would need to be banned) not to mention they'd have to kick out any student named Mimi.

Ok, how 'bout planning a protest? We could hold up signs saying things like "Freedom of meep!" and "Meep isn't a four-letter word! Okay, maybe it is, but it's not one of those four-letter words."

Because protests don't work, and never accomplish anything. *Cough*YouTube*cough*

Mee

Good thinking, dwmckim!

Oddly enough the ABC news article claimed that if you were over 20 and didn't know what " Meep" meant you were not alone. LOL! Any person who knows the muppets knows where that sound ( or "Mee") came from.

Oh Noes! Disrupting class? How will kids ever learn to fill in circles for standardized tests that don't help them in any way? Someone shoulda stopped this earlier...

Really shows you responsibility! A plan to sort of disrupt classroom time for a whole second was foiled... all the while probably ignoring bullying, teasing, hazing, cheatings, beatings, and basically every other thing that should be prevented, but miraculously can't. Some kid must've been stuck in a locker for a week before he got noticed.

Of course, odd "dead-news-day-stories" like this does make one pause to wonder...given the horrors and pain Beaker frequently endures, how much of his language might actually consist of four-letter-words? How much of his Meeping would be cause for bleeping? Maybe those who thought he was giving Scrooge the finger in MCC weren't reading too much into things?

C'mon, innocent Beaker? It was just a joke, a planned school-wide joke, but certainly not any kind of profanity substitute... No, swears are better replaced with longer, drawn out words that still get the point across. Firetruck for example makes a great interjection. Frog also works, but I'd rather not drag Kermit into my (tiny, rare, good-natured... ) fits of rage.

Has Beaker ever really enunciated the "p"? Usually it's too frantic to tell.

fight the power !

MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP

Oh, brother.

If the principal thinks he's going to keep order by banning "meep," he'd better think again. You'd think that school administrators would have bigger fish to fry these days.

Meanwhile, up in heaven, I wonder what Richard Hunt thinks of this?

****, what a hysterical concept.

"All together now!"

 

[Gelfling Girl]

Yeah! Save the "Meep"ing!
