i feel like such a loser
1952-2001
"'I think,' he murmured at last, from deep within his corroding rattling thorax, 'I feel good about it.'
The lights went out in his eyes for absolutely the very last time ever.
Luckily, there was a stall nearby where you could rent scooters from guys with green wings."

I'm pretty bummed. I liked Adams' writing style - witty, in a sort of avuncular rat-bastard sort of way. Kind of like a futuristic version of Daniel Pinkwater.
At least with Mr. Ramone we heard that the cat was on the roof.
Sean, this is all your fault. You kept the background black after Joey Ramone died, and now cool people keep dying. Change it back before you kill Bob Dylan!
Lest you think this is a cop-out for an article, update Tuesday - all about dicks.
I'm in shock.
I must say that he never wrote a bad novel, or even a mediocre one. this is rare, and I was hoping for another Dirk Gently novel, too. suckage.
the three biggest influences in my life have been Frank Herbert, Douglas Adams, and collectively, the creators of Wasteland. Herbert died before I got into him, so all there's left to do is build some sort of immortality engine and apply it to Ken St. Andre and Brian Fargo.
The answer is right in front of you, and it's blinking madly and we get a commission on anything you buy from Mr. Chiu.
well, I really had my hopes set on it being an immortality ENGINE, you know, cogs, vacuum tubes, a rodent in an exercise wheel, &c. but if all else fails, rings could do.
Nya, nya,
neener, neener!

feh!
The salmon mousse.
I have patented the time machine, you know.
I shall scan in my drawings and schematics and post an article. Yes.
What about Perry Como?
Oh my god you're right, Perry Como's dead too.
You're all probably going to hate me but I'm sadder about that than Douglas Adams...
I guess that Perry Como had it goin' on, but for some reason I got him in with such all-time entertainment greats as Barry Manilow, Kenny G, Kenny Rogers, and Slim Whitman. He was no Wayne Newton!
the day before DA's lamentable passing, a planetoid was named Arthur Dent. softens the blow a bit, for me.
also, I forgot Alan Pavlish in my list of Wasteland team folk who I have slated for immortality.
pretty soon u will know i am gone when i blow up your stupid little country. fuukin infadels!
FUCK MTV. I MEAN JUST FUCK OFF YOU WHORES. YOU AND YOUR FUCKING RETARDED REALITY SHOWS ABOUT DUMB RICH BITCHES. THE SHIT MAKES ME WANT TO VOMIT. FUCK YOUR CLOTHES, YOUR FAKE ASS SMILES...YOUR PIGS ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE DEMISE OF THIS ALREADT SHITHOLE OF A SOCIETY. I HATE HYPOCRITES. HAVE A MERRY ASS MATERIALISTIC CHRISTMAS. MAN I HOPE ITS THE LAST.
have a nice day.
