@ZMF - I'm all for the takeover of Canada. Operation Leafblower. There are almost no people and tons of natural resources. That would let us ship all the "green" people to the new northern states and keep the real America for people who like to drive cars with big engines really fast and leave all the lights on in…

@Balls - I didn't think that could get any weirder until Zach took off his pants and started bunny hopping around behind them.

@S.A.T.F.S. - And your take on The Fugees, of course. FYI - Seth's his twin brother, not his cousin…identical cousins… Now I've got a Patty Duke jones on. Thanks a lot!

I try to believe in the concept of an afterlife that is eternal simply because that means that at some point Kurt Vonnegut & Mark Twain will have a conversation. I will be there to watch. Both brilliant and funny. I hate that English teachers across the country spoil Twain by making kids analyze the crap out of it.

Cameron Crowe gets a pass from me for the soundtrack to Singles alone. In fact, most of his soundtracks are pretty good. Yes, his movies are slightly overwrought and a little precious, but I kind of like them anyway - with the exception of the 2 with Tom Cruise. I will never forgive Cam for inflicting him, Cuba…

Kudos to all posters on this thread. I'm digging seeing some of these authors get a little love. Niven & Pournelle writing together made some nice tales. Blood Music by Greg Bear was awesome.
