The Association for the Increased Appreciation of Great Britain Society
Shaggy
This cartoon was a GENIUS. By befriending a dog called Scooby Doo and being the only person in the world who could speak
Dog, he became as famous as Einstein in England, in just half an hour. Due to a difficult upbringing in a prison, Shaggy
lacked courage but through befriending Scooby Doo, was able to confront the most dangerous of situations. Unbelievably, his
explosive career was also brought to a premature end as we entered the politically correct 90's as his name was considered
too risque to broadcast to children. His close friendship with the dog also came under intense cynical criticism. His
forays into dog communication (surely equal to that of Darwin) and his bravery, even when confronting demonic spirits and
exocists, will never be forgotton. He has also been acknowledged by the world of professional football by being accredited
as the inspiration behind top international player, Steve Macmannaman.
The Littlest Hobo
Few dogs have ever made it big time in England. Scooby Doo, Lassie and Benjie spring to mind but all of these rank as
rabied cross-breeds when compared to this little genius. Blessed with the mind of Sherlock Holmes and the investigative
nouse of Poirot, he was the dog the criminals loved to hate. Rescued as a puppy, he was found tied to a bag of cement in a disused canal and this made the animal resolve to spend a life fighting crime. Whislt most dogs were only just learning to lick their bollocks, this one was mastering the complexities of bomb disposal and DNA fingerprinting. In his time on TV, he solved all 308 of the cases he faced, perhaps the highlight being the foiling of an Arab gun plot to assassinate Ronald Reagan. Sadly, The Littelist Hobo's life was brought to a premature end when a Columbian drugs cartel planted semtex in marrowbone. The dog community mourned one of its greatest heros and Crufts nonoured him with a posthumous, Best of Breed award. Dogs don't come much better than this.
Chocky
Not many demonized spirits have become celebrity phenomenons. This one did. Called 'Chocky' he used to haunt a young boy called Mathew giving him superhuman skills that lead his school teachers to declare him autistic. Chocky was aired in the 1980's on BBC children's television and frankly, gave kids, and some adults, convulsive nightmare paralysis. Whats more amazing, is that Chocky appeared to have no arms, legs, face or apparently, guts or brain. He was nothing more than a green gas and a demonic voice ordering Mathew to paint masterpieces, and do long arithmetic backwards. After the show finished, many parents claimed a Quasi Non Governmental Organisation like Ghostbusters should be set up to kill such frightening phenomenon as Chocky. 15 years later, the debate still rages.
