Topic: Share your favorite EADGBE phrase.

I’m sure we all have heard many sayings to help us remember the strings on a guitar. I thought it would be fun to hear others favorites. The one that “stuck"  with me is:

Eddie
Ate
Dynamite
Good
Bye
Eddie

Re: Share your favorite EADGBE phrase.

OK, so I'm eating my lunch and decided to make some up:
Electric Apples Don't Get Bitten Easily
Eva Always Does Go Bonkers Entirely
Everything Always Does Get Better Eventually
Excruciating Aches Don't Get Better Easily
Everybody Always Digs Great Big Elbows
Episcopalian Archbishops Decry Godless Babbling Elves
Evolution Allows Dubious Goofs Beautiful Exits
Existential Agony Depresses Gleefully Boisterous Executioners
Essentially, All Dumb Guys Believe Everything
Eventually, All Desirable Girls Brazenly Escape
European Aristocrats Deplore Great Big Eyesores
Enemies Attempted Devious Grins Behind Elvis
Eli Ate Delicious Green Bananas Everywhere
Evil Angels Deliberately Give Bad Education

So . . . I guess I need to get back to work now.
