What We Remember:
Four teenagers and their trusted dog gallop across the country in their
purple and green van solving mysteries of all sort -- and in the process
meet all kinds of interesting people.
The Truth: Four high-school
dropouts and their sentient dog ride around the country in their psychodelic
love machine, earning their way by selling drugs. Oh, and they occasionally
take some old guy's mask off to solve a mystery.
It may be a little hard to
swallow, but just take a look at the evidence...
Take Shaggy for example. Not
only is he the inspiration for the current 'grunge' scene, with his sloppy
dress and facial hair, but Shaggy is obviously a 'burner', i.e., he smokes
marijuana. Why do you think he is constantly hungry? Shaggy can make a
six foot hoagie and swallow it whole.
And then there is Scooby himself.
While dogs do not generally smoke joints, Scooby gets his 'high' from
Scooby-Snacks, which are in fact Hash-Brownies. Whenever Scooby, or Shaggy
for that matter, eats a Scooby-Snack, they go ape! It just blows their
mind and they do whatever they are told, because they are so lit! Scooby
is also hungry all the time.
The other characters do not
actively take part in the stoner-fest that Shaggy and Scooby do, but they
do condone the selling of it because it helps support their jaunts across
the country (and the world -- they drove to China once). These other characters
do have their own peculiarities however..
Fred and Daphne are always
splintering off from the group to go 'solve the case' by themselves. It's
no real mystery what these two are really doing -- they're getting busy
in the back of the Mystery Machine. Daphne with her pretty pink legs and
Fred are constantly bumping uglies. Fred is, by the way, pumped up on
steroids.
One thing that remains a mystery
to me though, is why he always wore that stupid scarf around his neck.
And what about Velma? Everyone's least favorite of the cast, was of course,
a lesbian. But, as it turned out in the later episodes, she was also into
beastiality. Where do you thing Scrappy-Doo came from? Scrappy,
who was a dog yet spoke perfect english, was obviously a product of Velma
and Scooby.
So the kids spent their teenage
years driving around the world, slangin' dope, shooting steroids, eating
hash brownies, and screwing their dog, all the while looking for the perfect
'hit'. If we had only known these things when we watched this cartoon
as children...
