Are you proud of your country?

I guess I am proud of my country. We did after all win our freedom against like the strongest army. Also we are a free country which is good. But sometimes I don't agree with things our country does and all the corporate stuff and all that junk. But I would have to say that overall I am proud of our country.

Shaggy

Scooby-Doo is one of the most famous and recognizable cartoons of all time. The mild scares and goofy  characters are great for amusing little kids. The simple and repeating plots backed up with cheesy scares  have been entertaining young children for practically fifty years. So it may come as a surprise to know  one of the main characters, Shaggy, is a pothead. The talking-dog thing, the interesting-speech-patterns  thing, the constant-hunger thing, all point to one conclusion. The iconic kids show character Shaggy is a  drug addict.

First of all, Shaggy has a talking dog, Scooby, of course. But it might be more than just a normal talking  dog as you would see on a kids show. Scooby talks kind of funny, even for a talking dog. There could be  other reasons that he talks the way he does, and even talks at all. If Shaggy is on drugs, he could be  hallucinating Scooby talking. Or maybe poor Scooby is being given drugs by Shaggy, therefore  encouraging him to speak. Either way, I believe Scooby is more than just a talking dog.

Have you ever noticed that Shaggy also talks kind of funny? "Hey Scoob dude, want some Scooby snacks,  man?" This could be a result of all the drugs he is potentially doing. I don't know about you, but it does  seem a little weird the way he talks, especially in contrast against the other characters. He talks like a  hippie, when the 1960's were infamous for drugs.

That brings me to another subject: Shaggy and Scooby's constant desire for food. Sometimes after  smoking marijuana, the subject gets the munchies. That would explain why Scooby and Shaggy are  constantly eating huge portions of food. They're always chowing down giant hamburgers and ice cream  and huge subs. How else would you explain this constant and raging hunger other than the munchies?  This all is just more evidence against them.

Maybe the Scooby Snacks that Shaggy and Scooby love could symbolize drugs. Shaggy and Scooby will  do almost anything for Scooby Snacks; they just can't resist the temptation. If someone asks them to say  go into a haunted house full of ghost to investigate, they would resist. Do it for a Scooby Snack, it's no  question. Maybe Scooby Snacks are portrayed as just dog treats, but are meant to be something else.  

I really think that Shaggy, and even maybe Scooby, are drug addicts. There are just too many things that  lead towards it. Shaggy has conversations with his talking dog, absolutely loves to eat dog treats, talks  like a hippie from the sixties, and always has the munchies. Maybe the creators of the show meant  this,  and symbolized drugs through Scooby Snacks. The show was after all created in the sixties, one of the  most prominent drug eras of the USA. The fact he does drugs is possible, likely, and obvious.

Ninjas on a plane

It was their turn to go through the metal detector. The young man gulped and tried not to show his nervousness. He had nothing to be nervous about, but he still was for some reason. It was the moment of truth, and he stepped through. Nothing, he was clear. The aluminum gun had not sprung the metal detector. He continued a couple yards, and then stopped to wait for his two friends.

They too cleared the metal detector. They continued on their way to their terminal. There were three of them, all had fake names. One had light brown hair, with blue eyes and glasses. His face was clean-shaven, and he wore a Nebraska University sweatshirt. The next had dark hair and dark eyes, with a black goatee. He wore a button up shirt and jeans. The last had brown hair and green eyes, clean shaven and wearing a plain t-shirt. All were in their mid thirties, and highly trained ninjas.

All three had the same goal, to hijack the plane flying from the New York Airport to Paris, France. They would hold the plane until the government agreed to give them one million dollars each. They reached the terminal, and sat down. The plane would start boarding in ten minutes. Those minutes felt like an eternity. It was raining outside, and the drops pattered against the window looking out onto the runway. Eventually, the plane arrived, and they boarded.  

They had business class seats towards the front of the plane. They sat down in the row three across, and settled in for the long flight. The plane taxied on the runway, and then took off. They would hijack the plane when it was over the Atlantic Ocean, so there was nowhere to land. So, one read a book, one listened to music, and the other just looked out the window.

Two hours later, they were a ways over the ocean. With a slight nod from the one on the isle, they started to put their plan into action. The three of them walked up to the front. They stormed into the cockpit.

One of the hijackers punched out the pilot. One of the other hijackers did the same to the copilot. The third threw the pilot out of the way and sat in the seat. He picked up the mic and spoke into the intercom.

“Hello, this is your ‘pilot’ speaking. I would like to inform you that we have control of the plane, and you are now our hostages.”

Panic ensued in the cabin, and some people started crying. One man in the back got up, and headed to the front. He went in, and the three hijackers turned around. He roundhouse kicked the one in captain’s seat, and slammed another into the control board. The last he punched out. He was about to take the controls, when the one he roundhouse kicked karate chopped him.

By now the three ninja hijackers were up, and they ripped off their outer layer to reveal their ninja outfits. The man too pulled off his outer layer and revealed his ninja clothes. One of the hijackers pushed him out of the cockpit. The stewardess was coming forward with the drink cart. The man flipped over it, and pushed it forward down the aisle. It hit the hijackers and knocked them back.

One of the hijacks climbed over the cart and grabbed the man. He picked him up and threw him back to the front. The man got up, and grabbed the two other hijackers. He sent them flying into the side of the plane. The last one had come towards him. The man lunged for the plane door and grabbed the latch.

He twisted it open, and the door swung violently outward. The man gripped on for dear life. The three hijackers tried to hold on, but were sucked out by the escaping pressure and fell towards the earth. The man jumped back into the plane with some difficulty, then shut the door.

He went back into the cockpit and over to the pilot. He was out cold. The man grabbed the controls, and looked out the front. The plane was descending quickly towards the ocean. He pulled the plane up, and the bottom skipped over the water, and then swooped back up. He returned the plane to altitude, and then went back to the pilot.

The pilot was slowly coming to. He fully regained consciousness, and went back to the controls. The copilot joined him shortly after. The pilot got on the intercom and announced that everything was okay. They flew the plane all the way to their destination in London, and successfully landed at the airport, all passengers, save the ninja hijackers, were unharmed.
