    Happy Birthday Fred

    No, not YX. The Fred I grew up with. I remember watching him on Friday nights, then Johnny Quest. 50 more big guy.

    I kinda thought Fred looked 50 from the start.
    Always enjoyed that show and felt the same way the author did about the Pebbles and Bam-Bam spin-off.

    Did realize Johnny Quest went back that far though? It was still in first runs on the Saturday Morning blitz when I was a carpet critter. Liked that one too.

    H.R. Puff N' Stuff was a much heavier influence though. ;)

    He will--he's been banging Betty Rubble behind Barney's back all these years. Freddie's a real ladies man, you know.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Well, that explains a lot about Betty. Did Wilma know?

    Fred Flintstone was a terrible role model and explains the likes of the teabaggers.

    Of course she is. Why else would Fred be banging her? And Betty is fed up with that little runt of a husband of hers and wants a real he-man like Freddie-boy. This is all the subtext of The Flintstones that rarely gets mentioned anymore. The was a reason it was so popular at one time. Franz Kafka was a huge fan, you know.

    I thought it was just a vehicle to push Winston cigarettes.
