Comet Hyakutake

a spectacular comet that came close to the Earth in early 1996. It was a total surprise for the public so the end-of-the-millenium doomsayers and New Age crackpots couldn't bombard us with their superstitious bullshit. It was visible to the unaided eye and was "something to talk about" in the office and computer lab. It sported an unusually long tail. A thrill. Mere months after the comet's appearance, Comet Hale-Bopp graced our skies.

Comet Hyakutake was discovered by the Japanese astronomer Yuji Hyakutake. The brilliance of the comet made Yuji a celebrity, particularly in Japan.

Titantic

the most overrated blockbuster movie of all time. Starring Leonard DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, it's about two lovers on the ill-fated maiden voyage of the British ocean liner of the same name. It's just a mushy-gushy romance and disaster flick that drags on for 4 fucking hours or so, without any of the constant excitement of Dancing With Wolves, which also lasts 4 hours. Oh sure, you can look at Kate Winslet, but the movie is boring to the max.

The Titantic soundtrack is a total hunk of trash. It's got Celine Dion on it - doesn't that tell you enough?

American Pie

1. Another obsession for fundamentalists (religious fanatics) to overanalyze, which they do with just about everything. Generally, it's a hit song by Don McLean which was a big smash in 1971. The lyrics refer to several events and pop culture phenominae during the time period from the late 40s to around 1970. AKA "The Day the Music Died", this tune refers to the plane crash deaths of Buddy Holly, Richard Valens, and The Big Bopper at the same time in the late 1950's. Played excessively by radio stations, it's considered to be a "classic", but then again, so is "You You -YOU" by Peter Frampton, "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" by Meat Loaf and "You Light Up My Life" by Debbie Booneand other shit. In 2000 Madonna released a cover of this tune, and it ain't that hot.

2. a series of "coming-of-age" sex-crazed-teens-just-gotta-get-laid movies from 1999 to the present that feature nothing in their plots that haven't been done before, except that one of the main male characters fucks an apple pie. How inspiring, NOT!

1. Miss American Pie took her Chevy to the levee. OK, now what comes next?

2. The American Pie movies are now a franchise like the National Lampoon series and are an example of how comedy flicks, as well as movies in general have pretty much declined in quality in the past 10 years or so.

cretin

1. in medical circles, someone who has a thyroid problem which results in the condition known as cretinism. It may also result from bad environmental factors.

2. a thick-headed dunce, a total dumbbutt. You can tell a cretin something and it NEVER sinks in. An absolute numbskull.

1. ... There's no stopping the cretins from hopping.
Creeee-tin!
Creeee-tin! ...

One-two-three-four!
All good cretins have some more!
Four-five-six-seven!

All good cretins go to heaven!

"Cretin Hop" - RAMONES

2. When I was in high school the TV show "Entertainment Tonight" debuted and was something to talk about at the lockers. Now that show is pure trash, it's for cretins.

Up with Hope, Down with Dope

a slogan (using rhymns) that's been used in the past by the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Up with Hope, Down with Dope sounds like a positive notion, but when the children grow up and have to face the problems and stresses of life where dumbasses are in unearned positions of power and they try to influence every aspect of our lives then some may lose hope. Then how do they try to cope and meet demands? You guessed it - DOPE!

Love Removal Machine

this is open to interpretation. It's the title of a 1987 hit by the band the Cult. My guess is that the singer is referring to his girlfriend. This is funny: we all know that people want to give love. And get it. But remove it? What the hell is going on here? The lyrics to this song are incredibly dumb. Still, I like this song a lot. It's so stupid it's cool. You can't help but like it. It's just one of those things. It's stupid fun ;)

When I walked out of the El Dorado casino and out to the Reno Strip I heard a radio blasting from a passing car. The song was Love Removal Machine by the Cult.
