Tash - it means that a show's just done something incredibly ridiculous - taken a leap that's so far out and ridiculous it might not recover. The actual phrase "jumping the shark" started back during "Happy Days" when Fonzi traveled to Hawaii or Florida or something and (still in his trademark leather jacket) decided to jump over a shark when he was water skiing. Apparently the show went drastically downhill after that episode. Now whenever a show that started out really good does something insane to try to keep ratings up (or just 'cause the writers run out of good ideas) it's called "jumping the shark." ...Dude, that was like an essay. Thumbs up to Sam Winchester and his random knowledge. ::Grabs Chase's icy cold coke and takes a refreshing swig.::

::Dean, who had again vanished from the saloon without a word, now dashes back in (with shoes this time).::
He's here! He's here! :: Dean dives behind Sam:: The freakin' angel is here to drag me back to Hell. And I haven't even done anything this time!
Sam: Brother, if you love me, hide me!

:: Tasha sighs and draws circles on the bar with her finger:: People hearing music, people talking to themselves, and now people seeing angry angels. How come everyone who comes into my bar is crazy?

Well, you got a second personality, Tash. Don't worry, you're right there with us.
::Reaches for drink and realizes it's missing. Glances about, and narrows eyes slowly at Sam.::
Hey, friend. Would that be my drink you're gulping?

Chase: lol! Touche. (Just imagine the accent above the e. I don't know how to get that on). Sam: Ohhhhh, ok. Thanks for the in depth definition, lol! Human beings have such strange slang! :: Changing the subject as she cleans out a glass:: I used to watch that show on reruns back in the day.Fonzi was my favorite. i don't see it on much anymore. Then again I'm not really looking I suppose. :: Looks around for some ice then slides another ice cold coke Chase's way:: C and S: Now, now, boys. No fighting or drink stealing if you please.

:: A figure appears from the shadows right behind Dean. Ominously, he reaches out and grasps the elder Winchester's shoulder and speaks in a gruff voice::
Dean: Dean. I've come for you...

::Inches out of the way of Dean's grabbing and Chase's glaring. Decides to focus first on Dean.::
Ok, slow down a sec, Dean. Angels? No offense, but I don't think you're quite important enough to have your own personal... wait, BACK to hell? ... Dean, what did you DO while I was off at college?
::Jumps as he catches sight of an unfamiliar figure moving out of the shadows and grabbing Dean.::
Wh... that's an... Dean. How did you manage to tick off an angel???
[And off topic, welcome to the new character, Jonas! Though in some ways he bears a striking resemblance to one of our fearless admins, he still deserves welcoming in his own right. And cool/creepy banner. Very nice.]

::Sneers at the new drink Tash offers him.::
I don't want a new coke. I want to teach him not to take my...
::Trails off slowly, eyes going wide as he catches sight of the "angel" looming behind Dean.::
You?? How are... how did you get here?"

And, as I believe it worth mentioning, a very happy birthday to our dearly departed Gwen. She was a groundbreaking, influential member of this site, and she is very much missed.

::Swipes away Chase's drink. ...Again.::
I know you're evil and all, but be polite, dude.

:: Someone grabs him from behind and Dean jumps away immediately, pointing and staring wide-eyed for just a minute until Sam's words sink in.:: Sam: Well... um... nothing. I haven't done anything. Yet. Again. ...What season am I from? :: Edges away from the angel and heads behind the bar to hide- er- find a drink on his own...::

:: Smirks at Dean's reaction then gives a nod to Sam::
Dean: Don't you worry, I haven't earned my wings yet. ... Though I suppose it's less 'earning my wings' and more of a possession type deal... :: Ponders morbidly::
Sam: Thanks for the welcome. ;p And the compliment. I think it turned out nicely! ^_^
Chase: Hi, little brother. Wreaking havoc again are we?

Havoc? That one, ::points accusingly at Sam:: is the one who stole my drink. Twice.
I think you should use your angelic powers to smite him, Jonas. He's clearly evil. Demonic, even.

Tash: Find? Yes. Found. Totally. What I looked for. Back here. :: he nods then decides that he is in fact thirsty and pulls out a can of coke. Curious to see Sam's reaction to Chase, he waits.::

::Glances at the drink in his hand and places it carefully back on the counter.::
Dude, it's no big deal. Just a soda.
::Looks nervously at the looming supposed angel.::
You don't smite people for stealing sodas... do you?

Well I just wanted to add a Happy Valentine's Day to everyone. Even those who did not give me candy. ;p
