Television

It's a pretty good show. Though seeing updated stuff like Velma and Shaggy having a romantic past is weird.. I like how there's an arc running through it though.

It's good that they've gone back to "and I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids." I really did not like the "the monsters are real" phase.

A basic theme must be that there are no real monsters. That it's always someone with a plan/plot.. IT's what made the show accessible to little kids. Nothing to really be afraid of.

I'm surprised that I never really got that Mr. Roger's Make Believe Neighborhood had a king whose full name was King Friday XIII (and that the name alluded to his general bad luck).

Somehow, that just makes the show that much more awesome.

Now we really need CItadel to integrate with Google+

Yeah, I'm not sure how I would have directed that into this room.

I think the low point was probably "Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost." Not only were the monsters/ghosts absolutely real, but the storyline was *very* heavy on the occult. 

So, I assume y'all are keeping up with "Jersey Shore" again this year, right?

<bletch>

I'm glad they went *offshore* this year. Seaside Heights is right next to where my family goes on vacation every year (we go to Seaside Park, a quieter community a few miles away) and the last thing I need is to run into Snookie or Teh Situation or whatever other guidos they've got shacked up in there.

] Abercrombie and Fitch wants to pay the cast of "Jersey Shore" to *NOT* wear their clothes!

I caught that earlier today... hilarious!

I don't watch enough television to know anything about Jersey Shore, but from what I've read of its premise, it's a fitting request from A&F.

i have heard the name, but have nothing to attach it to.

that's just PR for A&F. They want the free press.

Their stock went down 10% the following day. Heard on the radio.

It has been said that all PR is good PR. Personally I have no liking for the Jersey Shore guidos/guidettes *or* Abercrombie & Fitch clothes. I find any clothing which displays its designer's name in giant letters to be somewhat tacky.

Only 10 months left until we go back to Seaside!

I owned an A&F hooded sweatshirt in high school that had been accidentally left in my brother's Jeep at the mall; the top was down, and someone misttook it for their Jeep. He assumed it was mine, so I ended up with it. It had no logos, was very soft, and fit perfectly. I wore it to shreds.

But I would not buy another one when it was gone.

We call that "logo wear." A lot of night spots have dress codes banning it.

Now THAT is cool.

It's like a big "NO GUIDOS ALLOWED" sign, but they can't get closed down for it. :-)

I hung up a sign like that once when I was a teenager. My sister was yelling an cursing at me for hours.
