Shipwreck: The man who put the ‘Pal’ in Principal...
tFidy: Bayside’s own Principal Belding!
Mr. B: Thanks boys great to be here. I really enjoy your blog!
Clutch: Thanks… ah … what should we call you? Principal Belding? Mr. Belding?
Mr. B: We are all adults here. Mr. B would be fine. Shipwreck, you grew up in California right? Did you go to high school near Bayside?
Shipwreck: No, I’m from Southern California. I went to Carver in LA. We played Bayside in the state basketball tournament my senior year.
Mr. B: I knew the Principal there, Eli Buchanan. Great woman… had her hands full there. Clutch where are you from?
Clutch: Jersey.
Mr. B: Really? Mrs. B and I love Bruce Springsteen!
Shipwreck: Clutch is like a character out of a Springsteen song
tFidy: If there’s ever a movie about the BiA, Joey Lawrence would play Clutch.
Mr. B: tFidy, you’re a droid? I have a droid phone … are you guys cousins?
tFidy: Ah… yeah… so what have you been up to? How are things at Bayside?
Mr. B: Retired a few years back and have been touring the country giving talks on education.
Shipwreck: It’s good work if you can find it!
Clutch: Hear much from your old students?
Mr. B: As you probably know, Screech worked as my assistant for several years at Bayside. He got an offer to work as an assistant principal at a private school. Not sure of the details, but it ended badly. Heard he opened a martial arts studio. Get a Christmas card every year from him and his cat Mr. Bo Jangles.
tFidy: Wow! Anyone else?
Mr. B: AC Slater owns a car dealership in the area. I just bought Mrs. B a Volvo there, he took good care of us.
Shipwreck: How about Zack and Kelly?
Mr. B: Haven’t seen them in ages. Heard Zack is working at a law firm with another Bayside Alum. Not sure, but I think he and Kelly may have split up… Zack old buddy if you are reading this, give your old pal Mr. B a shout out and give me the 4-1-1.
Clutch: What are you doing with your free time?
Mr. B: I’m a big movie buff. My favorite movie this summer was the Expendables. Old school butt kicking action film, best performance by Stallone in years; but Mickey Rourke stole the show.
Shipwreck: He reminded me of this guy Jorge from my neighborhood. Ran a tattoo place, smoked way too many cigarettes and always had the skankiest ladies … and I use that word loosely… hanging around, but if you ever needed anything “handled” he was your guy.
tFidy: It was good to see Cordelia again too. Hope she’s in the sequel.
Clutch: What other movies do you like?
Mr. B: Mrs. B was really into the Twilight series. She read all the books and we’ve watched the movies together. We are Team Jacob all the way. He reminds me of a super natural version of AC Slater.
tFidy: We’ve seen those movies too. Kind of contrary to everything we knew about vampires, but a good story.
Clutch: But Bella is such a whiney pain bee-otch!
Mr. B: Troubled girl. We had a girl like her at Bayside, named Tori. Between us, I never cared for her.
Mr. B: Mrs. B. and I are also big Potheads...
Shipwreck: Excuse me?
Mr. B: We’re huge Harry Potter Fans. Really looking forward to Deathly Hollows coming out around Thanksgiving.
Clutch: Do you see any similarities between Hogwarts and Bayside?
Mr. B: Definitely! We had a family just like the Weasleys. The MacDougalls, 5 boys and they were always getting into trouble. I tell you those boys spent a lot of time in my office!
Mr. B: Hermione Granger is so smart. She’s like a young Jesse Spano.
Shipwreck: Yeah; but Jesse had bigger…
Clutch: Spells!
Mr B: You know what show you boys should check out is “White Collar.” Very smart show and there’s something endearing about one of the main characters.
tFidy: Speaking of endearing, after our recent interview with Skeletor, we’ve gotten a lot of feedback from our readers concerning Winnie vs. Topanga. Where do you stand?
Mr B: They are both a little too young for me. Just between us guys, I’m more of a Pinky Tuscadaro, Valarie Bertenelli kind of guy:
Clutch: Of course you are! What other fun facts do you have for us?
Mr. B: I love fish tacos and have been known to drive over 200 miles to try one at a new place.
Shipwreck: Do they serve them at the Max?
Mr. B: They do…. I’d say they are in my top 5 favorites. I’m trying to get the guy from Man vs. Food to go there and eat their mega burger. It’s a heart attack on a plate, but it’s so good!
Clutch: Sounds delish!
Mr. B: I’ve been meaning to ask you guys… you know some pretty high powered people, time travelers and the like… think you could introduce me to one? I’d like to be sent back to Bayside in the 90’s as a teenager and be one of the gang.
Clutch: Great idea, get me some mouse and acid washed jeans and I’ll be right behind you!
Shipwreck: Mr. B you want to take Kelly to the prom don’t you?
Mr. B: No, she was Zack’s girl. I’d go for Lisa.
tFidy: Good choice - She was very underrated.
Clutch: We’ll make some calls and see what we can do.
Mr. B: Boys this was fun. We should be Facebook friends.
tFidy: We’re on it Mr B!
Shipwreck: We Out!
Clutch: Peace!
