"If jackin' on will make strangers think I'm cool, I'll do it!"

That title is in honor of a very special day coming up in November. No, not my vacation. Something even more exciting. Yep, you guessed it. The first Futurama movie on DVD hits the streets on November 27! Futurama is without a doubt my favorite animated TV series, and in the top 3 favorite TV shows of all time. Smartly written, a smart-ass robot, dialog like the title above … you just can't go wrong! How could it get any better? Well, Comedy Central is bring new episodes of Futurama to basic cable in 2008.

But is it possible to go more right? I think a guy named Simon might have found a way. For those of you not completely familiar with the fantasticle cast of characters on the show, everyone's favorite robot is Bender, a beer drinking, cigar smoking, thieving bending unit who works at the Planet Express delivery company. Seems this Simon guy got the idea of building a life size beer-brewing replica of Bender. While I rarely drink anymore, I still can fully appreciate what he's doing. In fact, in one episode of the show, the characters try to brew beer inside Bender, who treats it like a pregnancy. Classic! I look forward to seeing how his project progresses. Geeks and fans of beer all over the world and cheering you on, Simon! Oh, and is that a Police Public Call Box sign I see in the background? This guy scores serious extra points for also being a Doctor Who fan. If he was gay it'd be a trifecta and I might just have to move to where he lives and marry him!

By the way, for the time being you can catch at least 1 episode every weeknight on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. I say "for the time being" because the programming masterminds at Adult Swim seem to have an attention span just slightly longer than that of the average MTV viewer because they're allllways changing the schedule around. Oh well, at least I own all the DVDs of the original series. They never get old! I know…I'm a nerd. If you weren't aware of the, you might wanna check my profile again.
