We see photos of Neil [Armstrong] at school, looking quiet. “Who would have guessed this quiet boy would one day become one of the most famous men on the planet?” ponders Smith.
Nobody did. Perhaps if he’d spent his childhood bellowing, “I LOVE THE MOON,” or, “ONE DAY I’LL GO TO THE MOON,” or simply shrieking the word “MOON!” at passers-by, maybe someone might’ve guessed. But he didn’t, so they didn’t.
"Okay:
Ich bin alkoholsüchtig, weil ich jeden Abend eine schöne Flasche Bier nach der Arbeit brauche.
Ich bin Fernsehsüchtig, weil ich mir jeden Abend die Simpsons anschaue.
Ich bin Lernsüchtig, weil ich mich immer noch fortbilde.
Ich bin Schlafsüchtig, weil ich immer zur selben Zeit ins Bett gehe.
Ich bin wachsüchtig, weil ich immer zur selben Zeit aufstehe.
Ich bin Laufsüchtig, weil ich immer die Treppe nehme statt dem Aufzug.
Ich bin Geldsüchtig, weil am Monatsende immer die selbe Summe auf mein Konto überwiesen wird.
Ich bin Schreibsüchtig, weil ich jeden Tag meine bescheuerten Kommentare in solchen Zeitungen hinterlassen muss.
Ich bin Sexsüchtig, weil …. naja muss jetzt jeder mal selbst drauf kommen.
Bekomm ich jetzt all die Therapien von Frau (B)Ätzing bezahlt ?
"Are you watching this year’s Big Brother?
“I watched the first couple of bits but I got so f**king confused over who everyone was because they kept changing their names! It was like I’d f**king had a stroke - don’t do that to me! it’s difficult enough for me to like these 16 people - don’t change their names and draw on their faces! What are you gonna do next? Broadcast the picture upside down so I don’t recognise them? Why make it difficult? If we’re doing this new programme for eight weeks, I might have to watch it.”

Question: Your lack of reporting on the Veronica Mars movie has me feeling like it’s DOA. Any news on it? — Andrew
Ausiello: Yep, but it ain’t good. At last weekend’s Saturn Awards, Kristen Bell told us, “I don’t think it will ever happen, and here’s why: [Series creator] Rob Thomas and I had a powwow, and we were both 100 percent on board. We took our proposal to Warner Bros. and Joel Silver told us that there is no enthusiasm [there] to make a Veronica Mars movie, and that is unfortunately a roadblock we cannot compete with.” But — like the rest of us, I suspect — she isn’t giving up hope. “Maybe if we bombard them with letters?” she suggests. “Maybe [then] they will change their tune.” What are you waiting for, a written invitation from Veronica Mars herself? Start bombarding Warner Bros. with letters!
