Children's author Eoin Colfer has been tapped to write the sixth book in Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Adams himself had intended to write a sixth book wrapping everything up but didn't get to it before passing.

The boatswain asked the pirate why he had the ship's steering wheel in his pants.

The pirate replied, "Arrrgh! It's drivin' me nuts!"

I actually remember liking the first season or two well enough when my ex-wife used to watch it, but when I turned on later seasons, it wasn't as witty as I remembered. Not sure if it went downhill or if I just lost my interest.

One noteworthy thing about marrying someone who grew up in the communist block is that you feel decreasing interest in that sort of pop-culture-drenched hyperspeak. M_______ was never exposed to much of that stuff the first time around, so it doesn't do much for her. It's nice, though, because even while I still enjoy bullshitting about tv, movies, music, comics, etc. it's nice to have my conversations more anchored in real day-to-day life.

That has been the noteworthy change in this board over the years, IMHO. it felt like we used to just riff pop culture all day, but these days, we're as likely to bitch about jobs, family, dating, etc. Call it the era of the PMA.

Mebbe we just got old.

Or maybe it just got too loud,   maaannnn....

Let's talk about pop pop pop pop musik.

Shoobie doobie do wop.
Pop pop shoo wop.

Here's some pop-culture-drenched hyperspeak for you: that just reminded me of the old Freedom Rock commercial.

That thing was so ubiquitous back in the day that I am still vaguely surprised whenever I hear the opening riff to "Layla" to find that it doesn't segue perfectly into "Ramblin' Man" by the Allman Brothers.

Layla is about the exact opposite of freedom.

In a promotional stunt to be staged in New York's Times Square beginning October 2, Netflix and the Guinness World Records are cooperating in an eight-contestant event aimed at breaking the record for the most consecutive hours spent watching movies. The current record, according to Guinness, is held by Ashish Sharma, who spent 120 hours and 23 minutes watching movies in Mathura, India last June. Sharma is one of the contestants in the current contest for which the two companies are promising $10,000 for the winner. In a news release, the companies said that the participants will be monitored by "medical professionals" to determine whether they "are truly 'watching' or are simply staring blankly at the screen." The winner will also receive the first-ever Popcorn Bowl trophy and a lifetime subscription to Netflix.
