I have this question given to me: > [@](#): > > Fred adopted many different personas during the Flintstone episodes. > Which of the following was not one of the characters he played? > > a) Great Mesmo > b) El Terrifico > c) Goggles Pisano > d) Wilma A: ) I know that Fred hypnotised Barney to think he was a dog, but was only _inspired_ by the “Great Mesmo”, but don’t think he adopted the persona. B: ) Fred called himslef “El Terrifico” on his vacation to Rockapulco, so I know that’s not it. C: ) Fred takes out Barny’s race car and calls himself Goggles Pisano at the Indianrockolis 500, so again, that can’t be the answer. D: ) Did Fred ever pretend to be Wilma? I’m not so sure, but I think he did. Can anyone help??? ---

I agree that he never called himself the Great Mesmo and he dressed up as Wilma to enter the Tasty Pastry Contest in Wilma’s place when she got sick and couldn’t go. ---

Can I just be random and say that I laughed my ass off when I read the thread title? Nothing to add, but “Frintstones” just really tickled me. ---

“Frintstones” is what they call it in Japan. We traded them a bunch of episodes to get Pokemon cartoons. 😛 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Miller \* > \*\*What I want to know is, why is the dog from the Jetsons asking about Flintstone trivia? \*\* No, it couldn’t be Astro, or Scooby-Doo either. They’d say it “Rinstones Rivia Restion.” I think Dino’s a Snorkasaurus, though I’m not exactly sure. And though I don’t know, I’ll guess that _The Monster_ is playing for one night only. (Though it must be a very long night for them to continually see it, and not only see it once before the two families had children, but again when the Flintstones had Pebbles, and again when the Rubbles had Bamm-Bamm. Bedrock must have very long nights. And with nights that long, Fred should probably learn that if he orders ribs, his car will fall over; and the cat will lock him out if he tries to put the cat out. But as one Doper said on Da Board™ once, some of the rocks at Fred’s quarry are probably smarter than he is. But now I’m just rambling.)
