Time Out

Okay, the time has come... I'm coming out of the closet...

Here goes...

I AM LIKE THE BIGGEST SAVED BY THE BELL FAN EVER!

Okay, now that I've gotten that off my chest we can proceed? Are we still friends? Actually, come to think of it, if you don't also looove SBTB we probably weren't friends in the first place so I won't worry about it.

What isn't there to love about Saved by the Bell? They were way cool kids that got to be in music videos, hob nob with celebrities that just HAPPENED to visit their high school, and have parties in the principals office-sans prinicipal. More importantly... they could freeze time. HELLO wouldn't THAT come in handy? No more "working out our problems". No more "compromising with other people". No more "listening to our kids wining for the billionth time that they are hungry"- geez get off my back...

No, all you would have to do when a situation came up that you didn't feel like dealing with is put your hands in a T and say, "Time Out" (or times for short) and the world around you would freeze right where they were and you'd be free to think about a solution, run away, or shut someone in a locker. You may even have an invisible audience to converse with about the undetermined solution to said predicament. When you were done you simply say, "Time in" and the world would continue on as if nothing ever happened.

This would come in hand in all kinds of situations. Someone says something funny or sarcastic to you and you're not as quick on your feet as you'd like... just freeze time...boom... all the time you want to look up a witty comment (or ask your invisible audience for one). Get in an argument with your amazing husband that never forgets ANYTHING and you're scrambling for a good comment... yell TIMEOUT... and boom! extra time to come up with a comeback (the ability to go back in time to check out and verify past events that HE can remember, but you can't would come in handy for this one too). Sitting in traffic for an infinity hours because UDOT can't finish a project and no one else in the free world knows how to drive? Freeze the rest of the world and drive right around them.

Seriously, why can't life be more like Bayside High?!

(and while we're at it, why can't I have Kelly Kapowski's killer abs?!)

Tell me you don't love Saved by the Bell NOW!
