Happy Saturday, nerdlings! We have all sorts of geeky goodies for you today, so warm up your Oscillation Overthrusters, make sure you have enough gigawatts for your flux capacitors, and have another cup of coffee. Also, you may as well give up on any hope that you'll get a decent cup of tea from Zaphod Beeblebrox. It ain't gonna happen.
Back in the 80's a buddy of mine came up with a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster recipe that comes pretty close to achieving the described effect. Take one typical working-class-bar mixed drink glass, fill it half way with ice, pour one shot of vodka and one shot of Southern Comfort over the ice, then top it off with Mogen David Blackberry wine. It sounds disgusting, but it's smooth and sweet with a hint of lemon, and will make you over tip your bartender right before you tip over and go sleepy bye, to awaken with a head that feels like its been struck with a rectangular slab of auric masonry.
There is a scene in the movie The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension that takes place in their lab, and there's an unexplained watermelon in a vise in the background.

Wow, I've missheard that for nearly 40 years? I blame only myself.
Noted for (belated) inclusion in next week's roundup!
As long as there is no Nooooooooooooo! I'll be happy.

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more.
Poetry Chasm.
What watermelon? What movie? Help me, I'm lost.
Trailers always show just the two minutes that don't suck. That leaves 92 minutes of God Only Knows.
