I do understand if the answer is no, but do you need help? I’d be happy to kick some cash your way.
Same, happy to pitch in a little to help defray cost

I did. The things. There are still Things to do, but none of them are super urgent to do today, so I will try the ultimate challenge: Actually Relax (??) instead of just Doomscroll and Feel Like I’m Procrastinating

I’m flying out to NC to visit my parents and brother for a week this morning and my insomnia is kind of working out because I need to be over to be taken to the airport in about 3 hours

Tomorrow is my first day off since thanksgiving and I am excited. I remembered the game Legend of Sword and Fairy randomly at work today, so I think I’ve got my next few games planned out, and as soon as I’m done with Ever17, I’d love to get back to reading a bit more (I’m still sitting on volumes 5 and 6 of Dungeon Meshi, and on To Strip the Flesh, and all the novels and novellas I’ve collected over the years, and the last two or three books of Earthsea…)

Today I finally returned to the local SFF book club after 3 months away, and then stumbled directly into their end-of-year potluck and trivia game. Was a good time and I was sent home with a fuckload of leftovers, but the more important part was the segment of the game that was entirely based on contrived puns on book titles. The question format was a hypothetical news headline, which you then had to derive the corresponding title from. For example, “Beyoncé in prolonged fight with Cher” → “Star Wars”
I’m posting the questions and redacting the answers so folks can guess if they want.
- “Blizzard causes fifty car pileup”
- “Classic magazine to be published with rippled cover”
- “Leno now a subject of derision”
- “Mathletes are now famous people”
- “The Planet has become Amazon” (the self-proclaimed most difficult one)
Answers
- Snow Crash
- A Wrinkle In Time
- Mockingjay (i nearly hollered aloud when I heard this one. absolutely noxious)
- The Calculating Stars
- The Word for World is Forest (tricky motherfucker)
