This is a list of ‘100 Things I Learned From The BSC’--to be added onto by anyone. This list was fuelled by part snark, part love of the BSC, and part caffeine. I know there’s probably 100 Things I Learned lists about the BSC on other forums but I haven’t read them, and I’m interested in what you guys have to offer. Your discussion on this forum has been very inspiring in my list.
1 For Kristy, the Look is never having to say you’re angry
2 Cladia kant spel, but shes relly, rely inteligant. Relly!
3 If you can fill out the top of a bikini nicely then you’ll never have any problems in life
4 If you don’t have at least two children then you are doing something wrong (have you been checked by a doctor? I hear the Pike’s have a good one, or the Brewers, try them.)
5 Casually throw the phrases ‘dibbly fresh’ and ’chilly’ into everyday conversation and the cool kids who smoke behind the bike sheds at lunch will think you’re cool. Or mental.
6 Casually throw the phrase ‘dibbly fresh’ and ’chilly’ into everyday conversation and the adults around you may seriously think you are brain damaged.
7 Don’t let Hodges Soileau paint your family portrait or you may end up looking like a man or a munchkin from the Wizard of Oz
8 ‘Hopefully’ is one of the most commonly misused words in the English language
9 A ghostwriter is worth a 1000 words, actually about 22,000 words
10 Jessi may--in fact--be black…maybe.
11 Three words: accessorize, accessorize, accessorize
12 Logan Bruno seems like Patrick Dempsey in ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ when you are a ten year old. Logan Bruno seems like Patrick Bergin in ‘Sleeping With the Enemy’ when you are a thirty year old.
13 If you are a diabetic and even smell chocolate you will go into a diabetic coma and die
14 If you are asthmatic you will be Jewish and kooky
15 If have a big nose and obscenely weird hair you will be Mallory
16 If you are racist Jessi will be right by your side to tell you that you are. If someone else is racist Jessi will be right by the phone to call you to tell you that they are
17 There are so many children in Stoneybrook it is a veritable children of the corn situation…
18 …despite that, BSC book #132 ‘Kristy and the Children of the Corn’ will never be released for public consumption
19 If there really was an old woman who lived in a shoe the BSC would fix all her and her children’s problems in the span of one book, maybe two. Just don’t get Claudia to write down directions to the place or it’ll read: Thair was an old womann who lived in a shue
20 The BSC will do it anywhere, anytime, for only three dollars an hour…
21 …get your mind out of the gutter, I meant baby-sitting
22 If the BSC (always to the rescue) had been in Australia a dingo would have never taken that baby…
23 …same goes for the baby in Trainspotting
24 Like the eighth grade, 80s fashions never ended (witness today’s revival)
25 Abby who?
26 Kristy + Bart = beard
27 I have to stop calling KL 5-3231 when I need a baby-sitter. Claudia does not really live there.
28 The phantom phone calls mostly come at night…mostly.
29 Saying you are sophisticated in your mind does not make you sophisticated in the real world…
30…neither do the multi-coloured leggings or over-sized shirts…
31…ditto the dangly animal themed earrings.
32 No real life holiday will ever live up to the BSC super special holiday
33 No boyfriend made during the super special will live beyond that super special…
34…barring Quint because he’s just cool.
35 Contractions are your friend (I'm looking at you, Karen)
36 In critiquing this list no person will fail to say ‘That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever read and I’ve read the whole Sweet Valley high series.’ (I’ve gotta give a shout out to Moe Syzlak. I love him, him and his pants that are held up by rope).
I’ll raise a pizza toast to the person who can spot the ‘Aliens’ reference I slipped in there.
