Swear to God, this was not doctored.

So how'd your date go?

Welcome to the cellar, myzip.

Just curious, is this your building?

Looks like it was truncated by the system. It probably read cock*tails*.

Bet she got a lot of responses, huh?
Hobbs • Aug 25, 2005 10:56 am
Yeah, but I bet she got more response than Miss "...duh, how do I describe myself" below.

She has to go out for that? A real gentleman would be available for home delivery ...

Don't be silly, she has to go out to make sure he'll spend money on her first. ;)

i think it would be more funny if it was cut off while saying "...and im looking for a man that likes a nice cock...."

Zoom's zip code is 02134. I remember from the song they sang about their address--

"Write ZOOM!, Box 350, Boston, Mass, oh-two-one-three-fourrrrrrr!!!!"

I loved Zoom. It was the coolest show...

Have you seen the new one. My kid was watching it the other day. It's not like to old one. It's all hopped up on coolness and all.

Send it to Zoom!

Thank goodness I wasn't the only one who thought that.

My sister loved Zoom! I was a hair out of the demographic when it came on. I was more into Star Trek reruns and the Six Million Dollar Man.

WolfSibling and her friends even went around speaking Ubby-Dubby, and I remember her having the Zoom! book of interesting and educational activities.

I saw one episode of the new one. They were reusing some old bits, but it wasn't anywhere near as much fun.

I spoke Ubby-Dubby, too! WOW! Cool! I think the trifecta was ZOOM, Get Smart and then Speed Racer. Excellent after-school activity! :)

IIRC, Zoom was the first open-source TV show. Made BY kids FOR kids and took submissions from all of us.

Do you remember the episode where a kid makes a radio out of a tin can with some wire wrapped around it? The amazing thing about it (besides a kid making an actual radio) was that this kid climbed up a freakin' 100 foot tall pine tree next to his house to put up an antenna wire for his radio. And they filmed him doing it and broadcast it. No way would a tv show today encourage children to climb to the top of a 100 foot tall tree. Amazing.

Original Zoom was the best. If it was on today in primetime, I'd probably watch it over the rest of the crap that is on TV now.

The eposode I remember is where the kid takes two large pieces of styrofoam and some slats from an old venetian blinds. Then he rigged it up so he could walk across water on them. I told my mom I wanted to try this and my mom discouraged me. Telling me *in her Catholic Irish accent* "There's only room for one Jesus Christ in this world." - Naw, I'm just kidding.

Isn't that also the show where they wanted you to send in a SASE - a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope? (Pronounced "say-zee")
