Betty Rubble was always much hotter than Wilma Flintstone.

Barney was also a bit of a dope and probably wouldn't notice if his wife was having an affair 

I see you already have the first season's plot all mapped out.

A PG 13 version of The Archies would be fun too.

Betty Rubble was always much hotter than Wilma Flintstone.

Hence the emergence of the term "Betty" for a hottie ("She's a Betty") by Gen Xers in the 90's, even though it was also a Baby Boomer reference to Betty in Archie comics.

Centhron, an Industrial/EBM band are in Vienna tonight. I'm half tempted to go as I find their songs hilarious (e.g. Slutbutt, Pornoqueen, Cunt, Gang Bang Dolly, Dr. Fuck You, Vatican Fuck, ...). Their music usually deals with military, sex, or both.

Am I the only one not seeing a problem here?

How is that a good match? He looks nothing like him. But then again nobody does, so it doesn't really matter who plays him.

Might as well get Lenny Henry to do it again

Bjork kinda does.

[PDH]

They could get that lady who is black but not really only pretend to play him.

[Liep]

Well played.
