A new open thread on Boing Boing just about Denver pop culture memories. Says 60s and 70s, but a lot of 80s is slipping in there as well. Why? Because we internet users are all youngsters, dammit!

Watchmen trailer looks good so far.

“The Baconizer” should be Kevin Bacon’s nickname for…well, if you’ve seen Wild Things you know what I mean.

I don’t think “dance” is actually the correct reaction.

A-HA!!!

More below the fold…

I’m putting together a gift mix of 80s covers — either covers that were released in the 80s (like David Lee Roth’s version of “Just a Gigolo”), or iconic/craptacular 80s songs that have been covered more recently. I have a few gems in my collection already, but I’m looking for more. Any ideas?

It takes genuine talent to outshine an acting juggernaut like David Hasselhoff. But, unbelievable though it may seem, the Hoff was once upstaged by a car. And it wasn’t just any old car, it was KITT, or to give its full title, the Knight Industries Two Thousand. This sleek, customized Pontiac Trans-Am was impervious to attack, could cruise at 300mph and was loaded with hi-tech armaments. It could even talk, albeit in an incredibly camp, condescending voice. And now, thanks to your hairy-chested friends at the Firebox Foundation, you can own a fully-functioning, R/C version of one of crummy TV’s greatest vehicles.

Ooh, an exhaustive look at video games that have been repackaged as board games.

Now, if someone will come up with a good list of TV shows and movies made into board games. Though that one will be considerably longer.
