"I am so excited! I am so excited! I am so ... scared"

This morning I turned on the television and lo and behold TBS was playing what is undisputably the best "Saved by the Bell" episode ever. It is the one where Jessie Spano starts taking (000h) caffeine pills (oh no, not caffeine pills, those are drugs) to cram for a big exam (the best line: Zack- "Jessie those pills are dangerous." Jessie-"Well so is geometry.") Jessie is under a whole lot of stress because she has a) a geometry test, b) a music video to make with "the ladies"Lisa and Kelly and c) to be perfect in order to get into her dream college Stanford (puke). Basically, she gets hooked and while caffeine is not as dangerous as cocaine or methamphetamines or marijuana or too much nutmeg it certainly is a drug.

Shortly after starting to take the pills (like two days) Jessie begins to lose it and her life starts to spin out of control. When Zach finds her asleep in her bed right before she is supposed to perform in front of some powerful music executives at The Maxx we know something is wrong. Our suspicions are confirmed when she runs for the bottle of pills to perk up for the big performance. Here Zach earns his bona fides and confronts his lifelong friend about her dangerous drug use. At the end of the episode, the whole cast assembles around Jessie's bed where Jessie informs them and us, the viewers, that she will be seeing the doctor the next day to get counseling.

(Pictured above: Jessie is back on the 'Feen and now she is walking the streets, grinding vegetation)

Get down to it
Go for it
Come on and break a sweat

You ain't seen nothing yet

I can't really tell, but I think this might be the first vagina photo ever to appear on BlogNAC. Well done, Alex.
