I think that fragzle means fragile, would make a lot of sense.

The creator of Spongebob actually trained as a marine biologist, who certainly knows that living sponges are not square. He thought it would be funnier if he looked like a household sponge and not an actual sea sponge. But some people, obviously, are not amused.

But without the union, what would your father have been making, and how would that have affected your childhood? Lots of occupations get a disproportionate share of wages, even ones that don’t have unions.

You are a Vulcan man,
And you have been without
Sex for seven years, about.

To load a hypospray.
I will give you the sign –
Try to aim for his behind…

Five thousandths of a cent?!?! I wouldn’t have bothered if I knew that was all it was worth!

Actually, if you go by the year of my birth, two cents would actually be $.16 in 2008 dollars (and I am not making that up!). The minimum wage when I first started working in 1969 was $1.60 an hour. Today that would be roughly $9.30 an hour. I know a few people who would be happy to be get that today.

The thing that creeps me out about Spongebob is that he’s a square sponge. Square sponges are made of artificial materials and the only way they become living things is to sit around on the back of the sink too long.

Spongebob must have been a bacteria haven for a long while to have evolved sentience.

No – the unions are to blame. My BIL worked at the Fremont, Ca Toyota plant. He screwed in bolts into the frame of the car for $25 an hour. He didn’t even finish tenth grade. Unions drove up prices for years. in 1959 my dad bought a luxury car for $4k.

Actually it is not you and I – it is the managers of the companies who make the decisions. I did not give my job away to someone who could design circuits for $3 an hour. They (the management of Polycom) decided that Taiwan was cheaper and laid off the entire engineering staff in the US. Most of the electronics companies are doing that. It’s one of the 500 reasons why our economy is in the toilet. Sad but true. Actually I think the toilet is getting a bad rap here.

Obvious nesting fail. This was in response to Jen’s comments at 9:08AM. But she is quite right. A single person cannot live with any quality of life in this country anywhere on $200 a month without charity or help from family, let alone feed a family. I think the key to getting past this is not for us to try to keep those jobs that people in other countries can do much cheaper, but to get ahead of the curve and try to corner the market on the things we can do better at the same price, the more complex high-tech parts of the operations that we are equipped and have the education for. Since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, that’s how countries have gotten wealthy, not by holding on to the low end of the operation but by moving to the high end of production. There are still plenty of things countries in the West can do better and sometimes even cheaper than other countries, because we have the infrastructure and the education. Just my $.02.

Yeah, Spongebob is one of the things she watches that I don’t mind watching with her. They do throw in some bones for the adults, which actually is an honored tradition dating at least back to the days of Bugs Bunny. For a while my daughter really liked “The Family Guy,” and I literally thanked God that my daughter was quite unaware of nearly all the grossly inappropriate content. As soon as she started laughing in places where she shouldn’t have known what to laugh at, I forbade her to watch it any more. Of course that got me called “mean” and “stupid.” I’m pretty warped (in case you hadn’t noticed), but that’s one show too warped for me. What I really hate, though, is all the corny, cutesy shows on Disney that my daughter adores. I can’t even sit through one.

A little food for thought…

You can’t even get a one bedroom, one bathroom apartment in this country for under $200 a month. Not to mention money for food per month (around $200 if you cut out non essentials/pre packaged, and cook it all at home). Add that up, and no, you can’t live off a $200/month factory job.

(I omitted luxuries like phone, electricity, and heat from the calculation.)

Did it ever occur to anyone in the US that it is not them, who are taking your jobs, it is you, who are giving away your jobs, because you don’t want them for $200 a month?

I was a bit old for the Fraggles, but my younger brother watched them…I guess I picked it up by proxy.

My nine year old loves Spongebob, and I must confess, I do to! I love how they throw in things for older people to ‘get’ that is beyond the grasp of younger minds…makes watching that show with a child more bearable than some of the cutsey-poo drivel or stereotype super hero shows that are targeted to kids.

That’s just where my mind went, too, even though I grew up before the era of Fraggle Rock and my daughter was born well after it. (Now I can sing you the entire “Rollie Pollie Ollie” theme by heart, not to mention, of course, Spongebob…)

Dancing’s for another day.
