Where are they now?

This morning as I was getting ready for work, I was intently watching television in my room - hoping that if I stared at the screen long enough the ticker at the bottom would scroll by with "ACCD is closed for the day" or almost as good "ACCD has delayed opening until 10am". But alas, no such luck.

What I WAS lucky enough to catch were a couple of episodes of a show quite near and dear to my heart... "Saved By The Bell."

OH MAN - I LOVE THAT DAMN SHOW!

Notice I said "LOVE" and not "LOVED" (past tense)? Yeah. That's because no matter how old I am, if "Saved By The Bell" is on, I will stop and watch it. Almost to the point of being late for work (of course, I am often late, but that's neither here nor there).

These particular episodes were the ones where Zack and Jessie thought they liked each other while they were performing in the rapping Snow White, and then the one where Kelly dumped Zack for that nasty Jeff, followed by the episode where Zack comes across as a pussy-whipped, dumpee who can't move on.

Exactly.

They were awesome!

And of course I couldn't just stop watching and finish getting ready for work. I mean - this is "Saved By The Bell."

Anyway.

So, let's consider this - where are they now?

Well, we all know what happened to Screech. Something about celebrity boxing and the curly-haired guy from "Welcome Back, Kotter". Snoozer! Then, there's Slater. That dumbass went and found himself a great chick and then blew it by cheating on her. Idiot. And Lisa - yeah, who the hell knows what happened to Lisa - and frankly, who cares. What about Jessie - I think I read something about stripping and bad streaks in her hair. I don't know, I forget. Next - is Kelly. THAT hooch moved to Beverly Hills and hooked it up with every guy in the 90210 zip code. At least until she got ostracized and had to leave town with her tail between her legs. And did anyone else think that mole on her face got bigger or am I just imagining it? I don't know. But I hear it can happen when you spend too much time in the tanning booths. You know what tho, the one SBTB alum who actually got his shit together was Zack. I believe he became a NYC police officer and then an advisor to the President. I mean - wow! Personally, I am impressed.

Well, regardless of all their past and/or current accomplishments/embarrassments - they will always be known as the coolest kids at Bayside High.

Gooooooo Tigers!

Number of business days left til my ass-rockin' holiday break begins: 6!
