1. Greatest TV moment ever!
:)

However, if that was Jaws, even the Fonz would have been screwed. :)

2. Is this the origin of that phrase?
Seems like it must be.

6. Yup
this is where they got it from-when Fonzie made the infamous jump Happy Days was pretty much done as far as good ideas.The Bushies JTS moment IMO is Katrina-seeing Bush in Cali playing the guitar like Nero fiddling-while bodies were floating in the streets was the last time they could do anything right(if they ever did).They haven't been able to spin any of their nonsense since.

3. lol, so I just learned where that phrase originated.
I used to be a Happy Days fan too. Never saw that episode.

As for when exactly the repuke movement exactly jumped, or will jump the shark, it should be fun to analyze after we take back control of the Government and begin reversing the damage.
