Since I noticed that quite a few people have been posting Scooby-Doo
stuff here, I figured that I'd finally get a question that has burdened
me for a while off my chest.

Does anyone out there know how many times in all has Velma lost her
glasses?

All help is appreciated.

You're going about this the wrong way. The question to ask is how many times
hasn't she lost her glasses? There's the rub.

More to the point, is there anyone else who kinda had a thing for Velma
during their formative years? To this day, I still like bright, geeky
girls with short hair and/or glasses......

If *this* isn't a sign that we desperately need Season 7 to start
*real soon*, I don't know was is.

I'd say damn near every episode. But didn't nearly episode end up w/
Scooby and Shaggy 'accidentally' capturing the villain? Or how about:
How many times was Daphne referred to as "danger-prone." The monsters
were cooler on "Clue Club" anyways.

I'm not gonna answer the first two questions, just indulge in a random
flashback:

Clue Club? That was the series with the two bloodhounds, right? And one
would always accuse every suspect of being guilty at least once, right?
And once they were investigating the disappearance of a statue in front
of a large crowd, only it had really been stolen earlier, and replaced
by a copy made of sugar, melted by a trained monkey with a garden hose...

Oh, God, what am I saying? What am I DOING??? Lord, help me...

Depends on what you mean by 'formative years'. I'm still carrying
around the results of a childhood crush on Wednesday Addams (from the TV
show). But, yeah, I can see Velma.
The only problem would be that we don't really know what her sense
of humor would be like. Or her preference of computers. Or her favorite
role-playing system.
Hey, stuff like that is important to me. Well, not the computer
thing so much, as long as a woman can tolerate my own IBM fixation.

I got snail-mail from EvilJen the other day. She's doing (more or less)
okay, and says hi. She also plans to be back at GW next school year, so
we can have plenty of flamebursting then.

Velma; a sense of humor? Jinkies, I always thought that she was the serious one. She's definately an Amega
kind of a girl; although rumer has it that she's been diggin UNIX (for WWW purposes only). Now, I heard it from
the sister of Shaggy's 2nd cousin's masseuse that up until recently, the big V was into Call of Cthulhu exclusively,
but now, she's been turned on to GURPS. Please don't quote me on this.

I still maintain that it was her heroin addiction that was the source of her "Tommyizing" (the origional album, not
the blasphemy that passes off os Tommy these days).

Also, according to alt.sex.bestiality, Velma cut a F**k swath throught the whole Doo family. She started cheating
on Scooby soon after Scooby Dum entered the picture. This caused some major tension amongst the Mystery
Machine crew. The final straw was when she had that 10 day fling in Paris with Scrappy. I don't know if you
remember the Enquirer Headlines from that era; I WONT GO INTO THEM, I'm not one for dredging up the past;
but Velma and Scrappy's sexcapades caused an irrevokable rift in the Scooby Doo cast. Finally the show was
reduced to Shaggy, Scooby, Scrappy (or as I like to call him: Crappy Doo), and Daphne. Velma ended up as a
bondage freak working Times Square.

A truely tragic tale.

Say... Wasn't this an old Banacek episode as well?

It's almost the same... In the "Banacek" episode the statue was made
out of paper-machè (or however you spell that...) and the artist tore it
apart himself.

To add an auxiliary part to the original question...

...why did Velma's glasses, upon leaving her head, suddenly act as a heel
magnet? You could almost set your watch by the "My glasses!" to the next
"*crunch*"...

Don't worry about it, man. There are some of us who have been SERIOUSLY

yesterday. 8-)

I've run into her a few times on irc and MOOs, and can confirm
same. When should we begin planning the surprise welcome back
party?

PS Whatever you do, DON'T mention Jas****n!

To heck with Velma. Is anyone else carrying deep scars because of Diana
Rigg? (Not that there's anything wrong with that ...)

I only wish I were.... Diana Rigg, thighboots, cat o' nine
tails... The kind of scars I'd be proud to carry around! 'Course, that's
thanks to re-runs.

Yeah, she jumped me with a knife in a London alleyway three years ago.
Cut me up real bad. How'd you know, anyway?
