Mnemonic


[zhu-] George Costanza is in the [3] basement of the [-_] house where he is playing with his 虫 insects that he has collected. He has set up a 丿 slide and put a miniature 冂 hood on each 虫 insect. He then starts waving a 尸 flag, attempting 嘱 to urge each 虫 insect to slide down the 丿 slide by being a strange balding fat cheerleader. The 虫 insects, blinded by the 冂 hood and compelled by George's 嘱 urging with his exaggerated 口 mouth movements, go down the 丿 slide, flinging across the basement and splatting against the cement wall.
