Starting production in April is a big screen version of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", with Mos Def playing Ford Prefect and Martin Freeman (the Office, Love Actually) playing Arthur Dent. The only other case member announced is Zooey Deschanel as Trillion.

As someone who loved the books and enjoyed the BBC TV Series, I'm not sure what to think.

I like the casting so far. Mos Def is fantastic.

It's an all-time favorite, the first leather bound volume I ever bought for myself. Even the radio play was brilliant.

What is the name of the song Jonah, the Larry Allen-sized beat boxer, sang last night on AI?

Create a map of the states and countries you've been to.

I'd post mine, but I don't think it works with HTML code off in this forum.

Pretty cool. I've gone to 25 states, but only 9 foreign countries. I really need to get out more.

If your grandmother had wheels, she'd be a trolley car.

My grandfather used to say this. I still ahve no idea what he meant.

It's meant to ridicule people who blame their misfortunes on circumstance, used as a retort to those who say "If [x] happened, I would have won."

And I've always heard it with bus instead of trolley car. But yours is more colourful.

32 states (33 if you count airport-only visits--pretty sad that I'm 1/4 Texan and have only seen the inside of airports in Dallas and Houston); 21 countries.

I'll report back on how my mil scores.

Y'all need to a) play a club sport in college, and b) drive cross country a few times. That'll get you up to 43. A drive from Minneapolis to Seattle would get me to 48 (or 49 if I could hit both Dakotas)

U.S. citizen on a flight to Brazil is deported after he threw water in the face of a crying baby. Flight attendants had to restrain other passengers who wanted to kick his ass. He had to spend the night in Brazil because the airlines with flights to the U.S. refused to take him.

That's not a very flattering picture of Purse Junkie.

32 states. 4 countries.

My weakness is the plains states and the pacific northwest. If only I had a reason to visit Seattle . . .

What are you smoking?

I have resigned as FB Moderator and we have appointed three new mods to take my place:

Burger, notcasesensitive, and RobustPuppy.

I am very excited to have them aboard.

Also, as Leagle announced on the Big Board, Replaced Texan is now an admin.

Moderators can edit your posts, but cannot see your IP address. Now, RT can, so the MOC may have to start flowing back to Texas.

From the article:

"The second time I saw him, about a month later," Ginger continues, "he tried to do the Greek thing. And I told him that wasn't gonna happen."

What is the Greek thing?

Reliable sources say Thrasher is known to be extremely anti-Greek.
