As I get older I've begun to notice an alarming trend. Gen X culture is fastly being forgotten. The new generation (I've heard they are called
Echo Boomers or Generation Y. Personally I think that Generation Y should be reserved for the children of Generation X. Like my kids for instance.) will give you blank stares when you discuss memories from your childhood. Let's take Schleprock for instance. Can anyone under the age of let's say 25 tell me who he is? Cartoon syndication isn't what it once was. Even
Boomerang doesn't pick up his show. Schleprock (pictured above) was the doom and gloom bad luck guy who could ruin anything just by showing up on the scene. He's kind of a noun for Gen Xers. Want to get slapped in the face? Call one of us Shleprock and be prepared for a fight. He was one of the featured characters from
The Pebbles and Bamm Bamm Show. Now who are Pebbles and Bamm Bamm you might ask? Pebbles was the daughter of Fred and Wilma Flinstone. Bamm Bamm was the adopted son of Barney and Betty Rubble. Pebbles was actually born on the show to a visibly pregnant Wilma. For those of you who grew up with the Simpsons this was revolutionary for the time. If I have to tell you who the Flinstones are then just give it up. Move along. You're not hip enough for the room. The Pebbles and Bamm Bamm show took place in Bedrock when all of the characters had grown up and gone to high school. Fun and Mayhem transpired.
i always liked schleprock. on one occasion i remember telling my dad he should be friends with him, because he always complained about having to wash the car, and since schlep always had that cloud of rain following him around i thought he'd come in handy. i don't get all the titles for people and their generations, or why they're all that necessary or usefull...but then there's a lot of things i don't get. *shrug*
For instance, diamond rings have different cuts including:
princess cut, round cut, emerald cut and more.
The body jewelry experiences the skin across the navel, typically directly above,
but sometimes below or on the side. Heat treatment,
if done correctly produces a permanent change inside light reflective properties of the impurities inside the diamond crystal.
