    Jumped the Shark

    I think this thread jumped the shark at the mention of Trail Swimming!

    ****************

    Jumping the shark is a metaphor that has been used by US TV critics and fans since the 1990s to denote the tipping point at which a TV series is deemed to have passed its peak. Once a show has "jumped the shark," fans sense a noticeable decline in quality or feel the show has undergone too many changes to retain its original charm.

    The phrase was popularized by Jon Hein on his website jumptheshark.com. It alludes to a scene in the TV series Happy Days when the popular character Fonzie, on water skis, literally jumps over a shark.

    I doubt it. The one here starts at 5.00am and, given that it's not a public holiday here and I'd have to have left the house by 4.00am (at least), I don't think I could make it through the work day! If I don't work, I don't get paid, so no spontaneous days off for me at present (gotta save for the summer hols).
    Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.
