I feel like writing a song called "Hopscotch Roc", but I suck at writing songs.

Just recycle this one

replace "Bedrock" with "Hopscotch".

When I was a teenager, I kept trying to grow my nails out into Count Orlok-styled claws. Due to parental pressure to trim them and the fact that they kept breaking before they could ever reach appreciable length, I never ever came close to reaching my goal.

Well the good news is we think we have found out what type of rash I have had on my body my whole life. That is good because it has been getting worse and worse lately and it is now so painful that I can't sleep any more. The bad new is that it is a genetic condition and there is no cure for it.
Great we live in an age where there may be no way to fix the fact that I can't sleep at night and am in constant pain, but we can know why it is happening. I feel so lucky.
I wish those androids from Star Trek existed and I could just have them place my brain in a plastic android body. That would be so much less trouble.

Why am I reading about a rash in the random thoughts thread? Actually, why am I reading about a rash at all?

After watching this music video, I now officially loathe lens flare.

Lens flares are nothing compared to the annoying voice.

Congrats you have herpes.

What else do you have on that file, Frink? Nothing that'll led intimidating men in black suits and shades to pay your home a visit, I hope.

I've never understood the appeal of Scooby-Doo. Mediocre animation, lame, repetitive plots, ghosts who invariably turn out to be corrupt oil tycoons in bed sheets -- bleech.
Had I grown up watching this show as a kid -- being a fan of all things supernatural and paranormal as I was even back then -- I know I would have hated it.

Yeah, I've been into monsters and horror for longer than I can remember, and I hated Scooby-Doo when I was a kid. Still do.

You darn kids with no appreciation for the classics, get off my lawn! ;)
Scooby was my main Sat AM staple in the early 70's. The animation isn't better or worse than any other show that was on the air at the time, except for Filmation. It's harder to see what made it unique over 40 years later, after umpteen spin offs, clones, reboots, and a now a direct to video movie every three months. (Or so it seems.)
The concept of a "scary" cartoon was mildly controversial, especially in a climate where self appointed do gooders were doing everything possible to make cartoons as bland and inoffensive as baby food. Scooby Doo's scares were safe. The gang was never going to stumble across dope smugglers, or hippie death cults, or real ghosts.
The two biggest mistakes of later incarnations were Scrappy Doo, (just about every other cartoon got an annoying pint sized character in his wake) and making the ghosts real. Vincent Price made 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo better than it had any right to be though.
A friend of mine is a life long Scooby fan, and he grew up to be a paranormal investigator in his spare time.

Honestly, I think most of the cartoons from that era were pretty crappy, so I'm not singling out Scooby-Doo.

Around 1973 or so, Hanna Barbera was farming out it's animation work to Australia of all places, and the drop in quality showed. Even as a kid, I picked up on which later Scooby Doo episodes didn't look quite on model.
One reason I enjoy Sealab 2021 so much, is I suffered the original Sealab 2020 as a kid with all it's non violent preachy storylines. Surviving a week of school only to have characters on Sat morning stressing doing your homework also made me want to gag. ;)
With the exception of the live action Land of the Lost, this was about the only bright spot in an otherwise dismal kidvid landscape at the time.

I have a big soft spot for Scooby-Doo. I can still remember most of the different timeslots I caught the reruns on as a kid (and, believe me, they ran that show into the ground - especially when they were only airing the original series.)
Does it hold up? Only if you're as stoned as they are. ;)

I enjoyed The New Scooby Doo Movies era too. (Not to be confused with the live action films.) It was fun to see the gang cross paths with other Hanna Barbera characters and celebrities of the day. (And Batman!)
How Casey Kasem kept sane during the Josie and The Pussycats crossover I have no idea. Shaggy and Alexander are pretty much two sides of the same cowardly coin.
Shaggy and Scoob aren't stoners, they just have a high metabolism. ;)

I like Ed's singing, but I don't for any writing he's done post-Throwing Copper.
"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

Same place he was when they shot Season 1 of TOS.
