Hi, Moore-ites and unfamiliar-with-Moorites,
We have lost a great man - Patrick Moore
http://www.queenonline.com/en/news-archive/sir-patrick-moore-brian-may-tribute/
Patrick Moore died, this morning, at 89. He didn't just present 'The Sky At Night' for a long time, though - he mapped the moon, for the Apollo program, and the Russians used his maps too. I guess he won't be showing us around telescopes in the next episode, then. He'll be sadly missed :(
The last broadcast of Patrick:

His death might feel like the end of the world, but as the real end of the world doesn't approach, it seems only fitting to make a joke about it.
And here is one:

(It's supposedly a Mayan prediction - and they lived where the Alpacas do)
All this end-of-the-world shit really is ridiculous though -- just 'cos their calendar rolls over on the 21st, doesn't mean time's going to end!
'New year' celebrations aren't about a miraculous celestial reprieve, for getting another 365 days of continued travel around the Sun - just as sensicality expected.
And we're not going to be wiped out by a fictional planet that would be so far away it's missed 'the boat' anyway.
(I'm referring to the Nibiru nonsense - it would be very visible, in the sky, already, if it were real)
There are more cheezburger puns, at the bottom of the page, btw; but right now...
More film ideas that turned out to be missed-hits:
Jurassic Pork
Edward Zitherhands
Sandy, Sandy II, Sandy III, Sandy IV, Sandy V, Sandy Balboa
The Bourne Soup Recipe
The Wizard Of New Zealand
The Lady And The Trap
Chitty Chitty Gang Bang (a porn version)
The Pink Panda
The Pink Puffin
The Pink Porcupine
The Pink Peacock
The Pink Platypus
The Pink Penguin
The Pink Parakeet
The Pink Pelican
The Pink Porpoise
{Incidentally,
the second in the eventually-titled 'Pink Panther' series was first
titled 'A Shit In The Dark' -- the cinema owners were not happy with the audience 'obeying' what they'd inferred to be a command!}
The Public Garden
The Adventures Of Stannum-stannum (you're officially a nerd, if you work this one out - have 100 points)
Chicken Co-op (the sequel to Chicken Run, but with a sponsor)
Mulatto Beauty (surely that would be a real hit? I'd watch it!)
The Neverending Tory (a biopic of Michael Gove)
South Atlantic (featuring the flop songs 'I'm Gonna Wash That Mac Right Outta My Hair', 'Younger Than Springfield', 'Nappy Talk', and 'Compound Multiplication Enchanted Evening')
Charlie and the Chocolate Teapot (he didn't even finish it!)
There are some missed Christmas hits, too, which i shall give you early, so that you can avoid them:
Aquaman (The Snowman)
Homer Alone
A Christmas Carrot
How The Oxyrinch Stole Christmas (it's a type of shark)
The Polo Express (this was ruined by the hole in the middle of the plot, but in the final version, they just erased the plot entirely)

All four of my 'funny bird names' albums are now up on Tumblr:
