You would think, after almost 40 years, these two clowns would just realize that it's either someone in a costume, or it's a trick.
I mean, come on!
I'm not the brightest bulb in the room, but after the first year, I'd have it figured out.
I'm thinking Velma's behind all this.
She has a genius I.Q. Surely she knows what's going on.
She get's all these idiots wound up so they're running all over the place, while she sit's back and collects the money.
After year forty years, Velma, don't you think it's time to let them in on your joke?
I'm sure all that plastic surgery can get expensive.
Pretty soon, Daphne and Fred are going to lose their noses.
Just like Michael Jackson.
Is this what you want, Velma?

FIRST!
I don't think that ice cream sundaes were the only things the kids were "ingesting" at the Malt Shop, if you know what I mean. My favorite episodes of Scooby are the Mono-Tiki-Tia and the Miner-49er, mostly because their names are fun to say.
I'm curious about your playlist. How's your day going??? :)
This always boggled my brain as a kid... I never could figure out why THEY couldn't figure it out in the first 30 seconds of the show :) I like your conspiracy theory... it makes sense!
P.S. I LOVE your traffic thing. I'm gettin' me one of those.
I ran away from my mom and grandma at the mall when I was 6. Finally mall security found me and marched me back to them. When chastised my mom said I told them that they didn't need to worry about me because Scooby Doo would always come and save me.
I've had many bleak times in my life. Scooby Doo has never come to my rescue no matter how many times I said, "Scooby Dooby Doo Where Are you?"
I have felt better when eating Scooby Doo fruit chewy snacks though.
That has to count for something.
*Zoinks!*
You mean it's not really a ghost? Sure, every time before it's been someone in a costume, but surely this next one is real!
Hey- I made reference to MJ's nose in my post too!!
I tink you may be on to something...
Wait ONE MINUTE!!
They get paid?!?!?!
You know, when I was a kid I didn't mind the obvious stupidity of the premise.
What got me was the introduction of Scrappy Doo. I hated SD, barf!
NCS and I - it was meant to be!!! I am also a Scrappy-hater. He needs to be drop-kicked off the edge of the Grand Canyon, while shouting "PUPPEEEEE POWERRRRRR!"
That's why I like you guys. I hated scrappy too.
Oh shoot, now I have to respond to everyone's comments.
PUPPEEEEE POWERRRRRR!
ugh!
And then the stupid little arm and the puffed out chest.
:P WHY!? oh why?
Group hug!
Which girl did you want to be like, Velma or Daphne?
Me, I was a Velma girl.
I love Pink's song. As always, your choice of songs are perfect!
I loved Scooby Doo as a kid. I guess I never thought twice as a kid that all the episodes were the same. (does that say something about my IQ?) Except that the villian at the end always said the same thing. "I would have gotten away with it to if it wasn't for you meddling kids and your dog".
After all these years I really want the rabbit to get his Trix, too.
Velma was definitely smarter. Daphne was pretty and had Fred, but then she was always falling off stuff or turning on electric chainsaws by mistake or accidentally flashing the villain (with a skirt that short? You know it had to happen at least once).
Velma was obviously more self-assured, although she may have masked her insecurities by studying all the time, pity-dating Shaggy, and coincidentally spouting off with whatever tidbit of knowledge the group needed to solve that particular mystery.
It's a toss-up, really. I think I identify more with Shaggy, because he's a huge goof, has facial hair, and loves food.
I watched Scooby Doo--I admit it. But then again, I like Spongebob, so I guess that doesn't say much!!!
Red took my comment.
*Zoinks!*
I didn't like Scrappy either.
Me too, CW.
Garsh Raggy, I can't come up with a single original thought today!
Scrappy...must...DIE!!! Aaaaarrgh!
That said...I still have a soft spot for Scooby Doo. We even have most of the newer What's New Scooby Doo series, and we watch the cartoon movies when they come out on DVD.
Did you ever see Scooby Doo on Zombie Island though? We rented that when #1 was little, thinking it would be cool since he loved Scooby, only in that one...the Zombies were REAL. It freaked the poor kid out. There is something to be said for things staying the same sometimes. Always having it be someone in a costume lends some sort of security to a kid's chaotic life or something.
So true! Scoobie Doo is a dog, so he is dismissed and forgiven, but Shaggy...umm, he is not.
Velma was obviously the smart cookie of the bunch, but really HOW smart? I think she surely could've figured out something to do with her glasses (contacts, a "sport-strap") , SOMETHING, so she didn't have to crawl around the zombies saying . . "my glasses? Where are my glasses??"
b... lol, sorry ;)
Trixie... can't say I wanted to be either girl.
Millie... I was going to say Shaggy too. He's just more like me... i think.
Maybe they were smoking something in the Mystery Machine.
Now, I can't remember anything about Scooby Doo because I watched it when I was 4, then for some reason never did after we moved.
I see you're going private. Sure, now I check out the famous Carrot and you're leaving?
Ok, now I feel like a complete doofus. I missed that little inbetween part of your post where you said you *weren't* going private.
Can I be excused by saying I was distracted by the teeth pictures? I was a dental assistant for a couple of years, so I still notice teeth.
I'm so glad you're not going private. That dentist is my hero. The one I worked for would never have done such a kind thing. Another assistant and I offered to donate our time to help some people and he wouldn't do it. I'm so glad he's helping you!
And thanks for visiting me. Your words really made me think. I'm still thinking about it.
OF COURSE that's what Velma wants. She was always extremely jealous of Daphne, you know. Had a huge crush on Fred, and he'd never give her the time of day. So she was stuck with Shaggy, but he preferred the dog to her.
If you were Velma, would you let them in on it? I wouldn't. Go, Velma, you evil conniving sweater-wearing freak.
And hey, did you know there is a new series on Saturday mornings--"Scooby and Shaggy Get a Clue"? They dumped Velma, Daphne, and the dippy Fred (WHAT was with the neckerchief?) and gave Scooby and Shaggy a mansion to live in and some regular arch-enemies to out-dumb.
I...um...kind of enjoy it.
After my dog is groomed they put a neckerchief around her neck. I think its dual purposes are to look cute and keep the drool off her chest. Perhaps Fred needed one too.
I never thought about Shaggy as a role model...that crucial thought could have changed me during my formative years! Who knows where I'd be now? Living in my van, eating ginormous sandwiches and staying thin? Hero worshipped by women with facial hair around the world? A TV show on PBS because I could talk to dogs and answer them? All the blood is rushing from my head *gah* my life! --wasted on Velma worshipping. I need to lay down.
I have to personaly thank you SO much for your comment. You hit the nail on the head SPOT ON! I feel like I understand the pain of our Heavenly Father as much as my mortal mind possibly can. Your comment was perfect. Thank you for reminding me of my mansion that is being prepared. Again THANK YOU!!
Read your blog with music - it's the best bedtime story I've had in a long long time! Keep it up girl!
Oops! Forgot my website address...
Millie, I often wonder if I'm the only one that pays attention to the songs on peoples playlists and wonders if they're alright.
Melissa, I always make sense, don't I?
Millie, steal it. I did.
Elastic, *sniff*
Elastic, Dog snacks. Yum.
REd, sorry to break it to you.
Tori, it must be in the air.
NCS, you thought they did it for the fun of it?
Ncs, oh, don't remind me.
Trixie, who aspires to be Velma?
Trixie, thanks, I thought so.
Amanda, and the writers got paid for all these years.
You'd think someone would bump off scooby.
Compulsive, it was so unfair, wasn't it? It's HIS cereal!
Millie, I could relate to shaggy if he actually gained weight after snarfing all that food.
Yvonne, Me too.
B., you could have said "Jinkies!"
Heffalump, my sons wakes up almost every morning and says "I had a bad dream about Scooby Doo and the pirates!" He watched it once a year ago, and is still scarred.
Lauren, he's addicted to food. We should forgive him for that.
Wendysue, it was all an act. She was lazy.
Red, are you answering my comments?
Glitters, exhaust fumes perhaps?
Rebecca, you are forgiven.
Wynne, you crack me up.
Trixie, Fred called his neckerchief and "ascot", but it was for drool. Didn't fool me.
Carly, I like you.
Heather, Welcome, and THank you!
Look! I responded to comments!
