4. Well, I sure as heck agree, my dear Crazy!
I'd rather ride a tiger than jump a shark, any day!

Thank you for rescuing my silly copycat!

2. They wouldn't.
Oh, sure. Some old surfer dude might try to sell you on some trumped up story about it. However, it never happened to anybody. Much less Fonzie. :)

5. I'm sure you're correct, my dear Floog!
It just has to be a trumped up story! And esp. where Fonzie is concerned!

3. Unless one is really, really, really horny.
But remember, "no" means "no." And "splash! snap! AAAIIIEEEE!!!" means the shark is NOT in the mood.

16. Indeed it is late, my dear Common Sense Party!
But I thought your answer, though a bit saucy/naughty, was still a good one!

It did make me laugh, after all!

I love to welcome relative "newbies" to the Lounge....

20. 'Tis a fun, relaxed place, from what I see.
I get the impression that some people "take refuge" in the Lounge from the rather more, shall we say, "intense" threads in General Discussion. Is that fair to say?

10. Leather Tuscadero was a character played by rocker Suzi Quatro on TV's
Edited on Fri Feb-10-06 01:20 AM by swag
Happy Days, the very same series that featured in one legendarily awful episode Henry Winkler in the beloved character of Fonzie donning water skis and jumping over a shark.

14. Street cred.
It was the early '60s version of bustin' a cap in someone's ass.

19. Haha, well I was just joking.
Though jumping a shark on water skis IS pretty badass. Swag and CG have the real history of it covered.
