  1. On this day in 1963, Pebbles Flintstone was born. That would mean that as of today she is eligible to receive early retirement benefits from Social Security. I actually hope she learned to talk at some point; in four years after she was born she never got much past goo goo ga ga. #Flintstones

  2. There's still an hour of Valentine's Day left in my time zone so I offer these lines of love poetry from the #Flintstones. If you think you might get lucky but haven't clinched the deal yet, let this be the deciding factor.
    "You're a perfect peach my love, together we're a pair.
    You're sweet, your nice, your paradise,
    And all kind'a stuff like that there."
    "Your shell-like ears, your dainty hands,
    Your eyes so black, like frying pans."

  4. Ob ich mir die komplette erste Staffel der #Flintstones auf DVD ausgeliehen habe?

    Latürnich, warum fragst du?

  5. Why is it that no one EVER talks about the guy at the end of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" who's dressed like Fred Flintstone?

  6. @DavidGoldfield @Bruce I guess I’ll set my #Flintstones folder on my computer to shuffle and see what episode I get. I’m trying to come up with my favorite episode and I’m not coming up with one.

  7. Say what you will about the #Flintstones, nonetheless the modern Stone Age family was a fairly decent microcosm of life in the early 60s in America. A lot of people feel nostalgic for that time, and might believe that our dear leader will get us back there. Well, yes, maybe, big huge maybe, his idea is to bring manufacturing back to the US. But even on the very slight chance that does happen, we won’t be going back to the idyllic 60s. Using the Flintstones as a metaphor, episodes based on that timeframe would not have Fred and Barney going out to bowl every week. Nor would there be Water Buffalo meetings and conventions in Rock Vegas and Frantic City. No time. Fred will be working 12-hour shifts to keep the mortgage current and food on the table. He’ll probably have crappy benefits because no unions. So if Pebbles gets sick tough luck. Bottom line, this time that so many people pine for would be impossible in today’s climate. Muchof what made that time seem idyllic was due to many things these same people now consider woke ideology. Not to mention the fact that the 60s really wasn’t that great, particularly for black people. Just something I’m reflecting on.

  8. #Dwarves are short, sturdy, are surprisingly technologically advanced for the setting they're in, have names based on stones and metals, live in caves, use birds as a messenger service, are often clad in furs, and wear horned helmets. I think dwarves must be what happened to the #Flintstones people after the meteor destroyed their dinosaur-based economy and forced them underground. #fantasy #dnd #tolkien #lordoftherings #cartoon #hannabarbera

  9. Tonight, while working on a pot of chili, an #earworm entered my head. I honestly don’t know the name of the song, as best I recall it’s part of an aria from an opera. The important thing is how I remember it, and I know it will mean something to at least one of my followers. Lola Brigita, your food I digida. #Flintstones

  10. @meowki Immediately after this, the cat looking at the camera, shrugged, and said, "It's a living." #Flintstones

  11. Why has it taken me this long to realise that "Yabba Dabba Doo" and "Scooby Dooby Doo" are said with the same cadence?

  12. @Bruce I know this will never happen, but for a lot of years now I’ve been hoping that someone somewhere would unearth a lost #Flintstones episode. I have the pilot when it was still the Flagstones, and Betty was voiced by Janet Waldo and not Bea Benedaret (sorry if that wasn’t spelled right). Just one episode that somehow didn’t get packaged for some reason.
