I'm frightened.

I noted tonight, whilst watching "Scooby Doo" ,that it has some certain similarities with the speech patterns of Odysseus. You know, where each verse or "after the commercial break", they repeat most of the dialog...just in case you missed it.

I'm frightened. Who knew that such a silly cartoon had something in common with classical Greek literature?

I mean, really:

Daphne “Oh, thank you Boy Wonder” (in one of those hybrid episodes).

And

“The hooded man! (pause) We’ll never catch him, he’s on a unicycle!”

Oh, the decline of civilization has been upon us for awhile now.
