Hi there I'm in the middle of learning the pegs and I'm changing some to fit things I prefer.
Have any of you got any good alternatives for 88? The usual peg is Fife which I don't really like but all I can come up with is Five and Fave... Any Suggestions? Thanks... |

Some suggestions from pseudonumerology.com...
Fauve fief Fifi half-heavy half-off heave off hoof off huff off huff-huffy if-iffy oof-oofy viva wave off woof-woof woof-woof-y It is an unusual number to mnemonify... Gregg Tobo |

Thanks for the suggestions Gregg, Fifi looks like the best option to me, picturing a poodle I guess...
Out of curiosity what do you use? |

I went with "fife" (envisioning the fife player from the classic American Revolution-themed painting, "The Spirit of '76").
At the time, I couldn't think of anything better -- now I'm stuck with it. Gregg |

Hey I guess I could use Fifa and think of football.
Thanks again for the info Gregg |

Seth, I don't know if you're a fan of the old "Andy Griffith Show", but Barney's last name was Fife. You could link the item to be remembered to be in Barney's shirt pocket. You know - the one where he kept his only bullet.
Tate - lives near Raleigh, NC and every time I drive by the YMCA, I look up and wonder which window indicates the room Barney would stay in when he visited Raleigh. |

Remember that when you are creating "anchor" mnemonics, you can use whatever you want.
88 could be FLUFF. Yes, I know that breaks the rules, but if you think of a huge ball of fluff your mind will know that it is a rule to be broken and get you to the same destination. It's your brain. You make the rules! Blair FREE Newsletter:www.Mental-List.com |

Seth: I like five! Why not visualize a hand slap as in "gimme five!". Along with an exagerated sound ofthe slap! It works for me!

I thought about Fluff for a sec but I don't know if I might get confused later...
Hey JohnE, that's a great idea, using the peg FF and thinking of the foo fighters! Shrink, that's another great idea, I discounted it at first cause I was thinking of visualising the number 5, but a high five sounds great! |

Love yer idea of putting the object in Deputy Fife's pocket! Steve H
Like Bonnie Raitt said, "I miss Little Feat more than I miss being 8 years old." Thanks for the concerts + recordings, Lowell, Richie, and Paul!
