I for one welcome our Netherlandian overlords

According to the hit tracking site I use to track your every click and move, yesterday this journal had its very first reader from another country -- and not some wimpy, practically-America country either (coughCanadacough) -- the Netherlands!

You got here searching for Gummi Bears bounding here and there, and I hope you were satisfied with what you found. Of course, you probably weren't, since I don't think I actually wrote anything about them, but maybe I should now? To fulfill the needs of the readership?

Gummi Bears was one of the awesome cartoons of the 90's. Or maybe the 80's. It involved a bunch of anthropomorphic bears who were addicted to steroids. Everyone else wanted to steal their "juice," and the main action revolved around the fights and car chases and so on involved in not letting rival gangs get the juice. The pro-drug platform of the show was an awesome counterpoint to Nancy Reagan and helped to glorify drugs, effectively putting an early nail in the coffin of the War on Drugs.
