As Discussed at Lunch

Ohhhhh…. I know that guy!

Fantastic news this morning! Battlestar Galactica is coming to the silver screen! After several years on Sci-Fi SyFy, I can’t wait to see the crew of the fleet in theaters!

Alas, this is where the good news stops! Probably motivated by the recent success created around resetting the classic Star Trek franchise, this version of Galactica will be produced by Glen A. Larson for the sole pleasure of Mr. P (didn’t Glen produce Knight Rider?) and will be based on the old 1970′s version of the show! No offense, but yuk!

Checking his IMDB page gave me even more bad news… Not only the dude crippled our youth with terrible shows (I have to admit I watched each and everyone of them) such as Galactica, Knight Rider, Magnum P.I., The Fall Guy, The Highway Man, Manimal, Simon & Simon and Buck Rogers, but he seems to be working on adaptions for several of his hits such as:

1. Knight Rider (details only on IMDbPro)
2. Magnum P.I. (details only on IMDbPro)
3. Battlestar Galactica (details only on IMDbPro)

I think I’m going to be a little bit sick in my mouth now…

Dear Wedgie,

I found this article online today and thought of you… Not because of your perfect smile, but simply because of your diet…

Resistance is Futile (by teresia)

Central Appalachia is the number one spot in America for tooth decay to due to their poor diet, lack of access to dental care, and widespread addiction to Mountain Dew.

They say it’s used as a kind of anti-depressant, thanks to its high-caffeine and sugar levels. Good Morning America visited and found they even put it in baby bottles. Some 2-year olds have 12 cavities in their baby teeth.

They discovered an 11-year old Dew-drinker boy who hadn’t brushed his teeth in several weeks because they hurt too much. Crazy to think that’s what acid, sugar and caffeine will do to your teeth when combined with a bad diet and little in the way of dentist visits.

So I have nothing to report…
