I know modern libraries are more multi-media than ever, but it's hard for me to comprehend a librarian basically saying he prefers audio books over paper-and-ink ones!

The sequel is miserable. But mainly as a reading experience. Poor.

We studied Catch-22 in high school and had an excursion to the theatre to see the movie. I told my friends that the TV version had been heavily censored but they didn't believe me. They sure believed me afterwards.

I am more of a visual person myself, so I prefer to read instead of to listen. Which is why I rarely watch TV shows or movies. Audioboooks wouldn't be very good for me.

I like audiobooks because you can listen to them while driving, cleaning, exercising, etc.

Multi-tasking, yay!

In an issue of X-Factor, Madrox the Multiple Man created a small army of duplicates wielding garbage-can lids as shields. This was Peter David's affectionate parody of the Hanna Barbera character Multi-Man, from the superhero trio The Impossibles. I figure PAD would have been 9 or 10 at the time that cartoon was first shown on TV.

The three characters from The Impossibles, Coil Man, Fluid Man, and Multi-Man, were pretty much recycled into Spaghetti Man, Liquid Man, and Multi-Man (again) in The Super Globetrotters about 13 years later.

In the Impossibles' Spanish-language dub, Coil Man was renamed "Cangurombre," or Kangaroo Man, I guess because he hopped around a lot and because "bobina," the Spanish word for coil, doesn't start with "C."

"Bobo" means "idiot" or "stupid" in Tagalog.

That's pretty much what it means in any language. In one Spanish-language comic book I read as a kid, one character insults another by calling him "Simon el bobito."

Tee hee! One advantage of coming from the Philippines, I could already pick up some Spanish words from the get-go!

A filipino friend of mine excelled for me when we were tasked with teaching a non-Spanish-class-taking student to recite the Spanish version of the Big Mac jingle for our teacher. He got a free Big Mac coupon for his trouble, and I got an A!

hahaha! that sounds so Filipino. And we grow up with jingles (ads for restaurants, snacks... and even politicians)...!

Now I'm hungry.

I haven't done quizzes on the Sporcle website in a while. When I would do the Countries of the World quiz, the European country I would miss most often was Hungary.

Break from game

That's a lot more common than you might think. Though many enjoy print books as well, a lot of librarians prefer audiobooks for many reasons.
/Break from game.

My Jewish grandfather used to say that anyone he disliked "Came from hunger." The first couple times, I thought he said "Hungary."

When I did the quizzes on Sporcle I like the boys and girls names from various decades and most populated us cities from different decades

I have no idea what Sporcle is.

It's one of them new-fangled website-thingies that the kids these days are using!

It's a trivia/quiz website. I usually play the Geography and Comic Book ones.

When you feel good after playing Sporcle, do you get all tingly and sporc-ly?

Do you win a spork?
