Is there scope for a new series of Scooby Doo where instead of dressing up as a ghost to scare people away, the bad guys just shoot and kill the gang and bury them in the plutonium mine?

The biggest mystery in Scooby Doo history is why the fuck did they get rid of the banging original theme tune for the crap one they have in the later series "Hang around for Scooby Doo". Pricks.

Scrappy Doo gets a lot of criticism, but fuck me Scooby-Dum is a LOT worse.

Ice lollies with ice cream inside are an abomination. Make your mind up, you're either an ice lolly or an ice cream not both. The combination is revolting.

Was also ready with places where green eggs and ham wouldn’t/would be eaten from the Seuss book. That would be a good question if they haven’t done it already

I had Kevin Spacey, Heartburn ready in case they asked for his movies, but guess they won’t ask that any more (Lew Zealand is my muppet, can’t beat Polk for US president.

What are your, no context, Pointless answers to possible questions?

There's so many amazing revelations in this book that I can't even remember if those revelations were in the version that I listened to. It's an explosive book. Shame that its first casuality will be someone who doesn't deserve it. I hope it will bring down a few that do.

Neil Turner @neilturner.me.uk · 3d

It's worth listening to @herring1967.bsky.social interviewing Andrew Lownie last week about this book and the amount of lawyering that it needed before publication. www.rhlstp.co.uk/website.cgi?...

Also, why does he look like someone who has been artifically aged with make-up for a student production?

No onononono!

We do agree with Nick, it *would* kill the AI industry and the sooner the better
