Mnemonic


[ji-] Jimmy Neutron is in [1] front of the [-ao] barn, playing Go with a cow that sits in the grass opposite of him. Jimmy naturally is close to beating the cow, who in turn 氵 sprays milk from his utters all over the 堯 Go board to force the game to reset. Jimmy gets up and 澆 waters the 堯 Go board with a 澆 watering can to clean it before setting up the game once more. Jimmy is getting sick of having 澆 to water the 堯 Go board clean because the cow is such a sore loser!
