You'll always get a smart ass answer. </div> <bR> <div> Don't sleep next to short annoying fellows that are likely to steal your cigars. Unless of course you want to start off the morning with a musical tirade. </div> <bR> <div> Try to make sure the towel is next to you if you plan on smearing shaving cream all over your face. Then you won't have to make a scene causing Skittery's vibrato to go out of whack. </div> <bR> <div> Give a newsie a curtain and he'll dry his hands on it. </div> <bR> <div> Pelvic thrusts are better then Christmas presents. </div> <bR> <div> Dancing in an alley, trying to look exasperated makes you look incredibly hot. </div> <bR> <div> It takes an orphan with a stutter. God knows why...but it does. </div> <bR> <div> Pretty much anybody can lie. Even Mr. Goody Two Shoes Walkin Mouth and his liddle twerp of a brother. </div> <bR> <div> You can get away with wearing clothes that don't match, but having a gold pocket watch, if you're a street rat. </div> <bR> <div> It doesnt matter that the woman you're drooling over looks like she could be your grandmother... </div> <bR> <div> Size doesnt matter. *smirks* </div> <bR> <div> A little cane with an intricate golden top and a wooden slingshot can do wonders for your level of intimidation. </div> <bR> <div> You don't need to actually be there to have a mother thats looking for you. </div> <bR> <div> Even if you give a nun a dirty look, she'll still smile and give you a piece of moldy bread. </div> <bR> <div> When people raise the prices of anything, always listen to a guy named Jack. He'll tell ya what to do! </div> <bR> <div> Climb statues as much as possible, it'll make you feel like you're near 10 again ! </div> <bR> <div> Your friends will always be there for you, and they'll defend you to the end with their sling shots ! </div> <bR> <div> Writing the word STRIKE on chalkboards makes ya look really good! </div> <bR> <div> Don't ever wear spandex if you're involved in a boxing match. </div> <bR> <div> If a fast talking, delusional, Irish boy tells you his name is Kelly...he's lying. </div> <bR> <div> He's only being nice to you because he thinks your sister's hot... </div> <bR> <div> If you have a family, trying to blend in with "poor orphans and runaways" is most likely a bad idea. You end up looking stupid and being accused of having an affair with the reporter. </div> <bR> <div> All you really NEED is a dime a day and a few black eyes if you look like Jack. </div> <bR> <div> Anyone can be a vantrilaquest. (example: I'm not like you!) </div> <bR> <div> In New York City you can just break out into song whenever you feel like it. Although I suppose a reason is always good...did Kenny Ortega have one? No... </div> <bR> <div> You could be the best damn gymnast in the world and you'll still be sellin papes down at Bottle Alley. </div> <bR> <div> Don't buy Roast Beef unless it costs 15 cents and is served by a dancing waiter. </div> <bR> <div> Always have your own glass of sasparilla when you toast to someone... </div> <bR> <div> ALL chickens should be named Herbie !! </div> <bR> <div> Always be suspicious of women named Sarah or Medda... </div> <bR> <div> Smoking helps ya think better. (remember: Never take me too seriously...) </div> <bR> <div> If you're the only female influence in a crowd of young boys you have a pretty good chance seeing one of them without their...papes. </div> <bR> <div> You can wish for a porcelain tub with boiling water until you're blue in the face and nine times out of ten somebody will mess up your order and you'll end up with somebody elses new shoes with stupid matching laces. It's just the way life works. </div> <bR> <div> If you're buying lunch nobody cares that you ripped up your couch to make your bowtie. </div> <div> Never depend on a guy named Racetrack to watch your little brother. Where WAS Les in that next scene??? </div> <bR> <div> Don't be surprised if your friend (who happens to be a pathelogical lying, obsessive, delusional, lunatic) turns on you to fulfill his own dreams. </div> <bR> <div> If you are planning on becoming a newsie, get there before all the good names are taken. How did you think he ended up with the name Snoddy? </div> <bR> <div> Guys named Oscar and Morris always stink, don't bother questioning this, just take my word for it... </div> <bR> <div> Always accept rides from anyone named Roosevelt. Odds are they're really nice and'll help ya as much as possible. </div> <bR> <div> Check your fire escape every morning..ya never know what or who will be out there. </div> <bR> <div> Never dress like Little Bo Peep when you're going to a Rally. </div> <bR> <div> If you know you're going to get another three months in the House of Refuge leave his sauerkraut alone! Stories based on actual events are always LOOSELY based. Sure Spot Conlon wore pink suspenders. Did he tap dance on tables? We aren't quite sure... </div> <bR> <div> Racetrack Higgins did not make a cameo in the Basketball Diaries. </div> <bR> <div> Just to let you know, if you plan on sleeping in the lap of a statue everyone can see how dirty the bottom of your feet are. </div> <bR> <div> Gypsies get crabby and fall into a southern accent when you steal their mode of transportation. </div> <bR> <div> If you happen to be in bed with another newsie your lucky if all thats in your face is their foot. </div> <bR> <div> Don't bother with an alarm clock. Get a Kloppman! </div> <bR> <div> It's harder then you think to sing and shave at the same time. </div> <bR> <div> The easiest way to distract a newsie is to talk about a girl...or a bet...or a fight...oh hell it aint hard to distract a newsie. Try shoving him in the head. </div> <bR> <div> If you grab someone's towel don't be surprised if they do a little leap thing over your head. These boys are flexible! *grins* </div> <bR> <div> If you burst out into song and dance people will look like they're used to it but they are really thinking, "I wonder why they don't just explain to these poor boys that they couldn't dance themselves out of a hole?" </div> <bR> <div> If Mush runs in front of you and starts doing flips just nod and walk away. </div> <bR> <div> It's physically impossible to actually eat a newspaper, so when Weasel tries to make you eat em...don't. </div> <bR> <div> There is no point in lying if you can improve the truth. Same thing? Nah... </div> <bR> <div> Grab a bandana and jump up on a statue and all of the sudden you're God. </div> <bR> <div> Make friends with Spot Conlon. It's just easier that way. </div> <bR> <div> To live is to be a newsie, to be a newsie is to live</div> <bR> </td> </tr><tr> <td valign="top" height=50 BGCOLOR="#000066" TEXT="#F7F7FF"> <div> <A HREF="http://newsies_fanfic.tripod.com/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://newsies_fanfic.tripod.com/"><U>Fan Fiction</U></A>  |  <A HREF="id3.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Updates"><U>Updates</U></A>   |   <B>Everything I Need To Know I Learned From Newsies </b>   |   <A HREF="id32.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Newsie Life"><U>Newsie Life</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id7.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Waves"><U>Waves</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id8.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Lyrics"><U>Lyrics</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id11.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Links"><U>Links</U></A></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
