On Oct. 12 a sixth Hitchhiker's book, written by Eoin Colfer, was released. It is called "And Another Thing." I will read it, but I will be sad.

I still have my pair of Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses and Microscopic Spacefleet from the Infocom game when I was 12.

Michael: Yeah, well, at least your name isn't Michael Bolton.
Samir: You know, there's nothing wrong with that name.
Michael: There *was* nothing wrong with it... until I was about twelve years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys.
Samir: Hmm... well, why don't you just go by Mike instead of Michael?
Michael: No way! Why should I change? He's the one who sucks.

My wife has a car that will tell you what your miles per gallon are for a given trip, and we both are always trying to "beat each other's score". All we need now is a digital display in the windshield that will allow me to "shoot other cars with a laser beam" while I'm driving. Seriously. I've always wanted that.

Damn Micro Ice Ninjas in the yard again!

violet/riga - It was snowing like crazy during the entire game, and whenever NE scores everyone throws snow up in the air like confetti. It's called fun.
