Not really. My family didn't really go out for food when I was a kid. If we got any food from a restaurant, it was always to-go, to eat at home. But I saw a nice Pizza Hut in the early 90's, when I was living on my own at first. I don't think that place lasted long after.
Imaginos writes a lot of fanfic. That's probably a reference to a story they wrote.

Not to pat myself too hard on the back but this is probably my favorite retrofit, to date. I love Clem's perspective and his predicament, and this remix brings it more into focus, i think.
I still haven't seen any Bob's Burgers yet, but I keep meaning to. I don't watch much TV. But I might watch The X-Files with my wife again. We've been talking abou that.
My opinion is probably not very useful, because I bonded with HitchHiker's Guide pretty hard as a young person, and I've re-read those books countless times. I certainly recommend them, but I might be too close to the subject to give you a fair recommendation.
two things: 1. i haven't returned to the x-files since randomly tuning in to one of it's most disturbing episodes as my intro to the series. I still haven't recovered. ha.
2. Bob's Burgers is Essential Viewing if you or anyone you love is neuro-diverse. I LOVE that show...

The original version of this started out with Def Lepard, for the same reason this Aerosmith is played. Two rock songs I LIKE, despite being very, very overplayed. The idea was that the new format/robo dj at WIXU only played the most obvious cuts off the album. After listening a couple of times I couldn't bear it anymore. Sorry, def lepard
Not really. There's the "OG" ones they made in the 70's. Then sometime in the mid-2000's they "remastered" them, and made a few more new series, to cover the remaining books. (The original series only covered the first two books, essentially.)
yeah! kind of steals focus from the rest of the shows though... we only get one premium concept per year, i think. If I print any up, myself, maybe I could add them to whatever gets made for Sheena
These last two are a whole new conlusion to the show. It's half the reason I wanted to do a new version...

This might be the only Built To Spill song I really like anymore. I used to love this album, but as I get older I'm just not so into it anymore. But this song is still pretty clever.

I'm sure I'll dig it when I see it. I just don't watch a lot of TV in general.My wife and I both bonded hard with X-Files when it was originally on, but we've never seen it together. It seems like a good thing to watch together.
