Subject: SCOOBY DOO in DRUGS SCANDAL - THE VERDICT — READ THIS FANS!
Date: 25 Jan 1996 01:49:04 GMT

This is what SCOOBY DOO is all about:

    Everyone remembers the cartoon show Scooby-Doo from their early
    childhood, right? But something you may not remember is what the show
    was really all about. As I've gotten older, it has become more clear
    to me what Fred, Shaggy, Daphne, Velma, and Scooby were actually doing
    as they traversed the continent foiling crimes of all sorts in the
    Mystery Machine.

    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 guys 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, well, 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.
    -------<Hickeys???>---------
        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 fucking
    their dog, while all the while looking for the perfect 'hit'.
    If we had only known these things when we watched this cartoon as
    children...

You missed the most prominent stoner indicator: Shaggy and Scoob are
ceaselessly paranoid. While Fred & Co. seem undeterred by the prospect of
ghostly interference ('Come look over here, under this large rock! There's
a secret tunnel underneath it! I have a crazy idea, but it just might
work!'), the stoner and his dog tend to overreact to fearful situations,
even when the props aren't really convincing.

Scrappy ushered in the drug-free era of Scooby Doo. During his reign, the
munchies and paranoid ghost theories ('zoinks!') were sublimated into an
almost patriotic sense of duty and REAL GHOSTS.
