Paul Hardcastle’s Agent to Record Company: “But He’s Huge on Mars!”

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2004

Check the third rock from the center plate of the rover. See the number “19?”

Yeah, it’s a stretch. But I got to reference Paul Hardcastle.

    That is, by God, the most obscure reference to anything I’ve ever seen. First, what pointed you to the “19″, and how did you come up with Paul Hardcastle? Excuse me for this, but have you been waiting 20 years to pull out a Hardcastle reference to anything with 19, so now you jumped at it? Wow.

    …Great post. I really enjoyed it.

    And just what IS the average age of those soldiers dying in Iraq? The song just might be relavent again.

    Actually if you look at it upside down you’ll clearly see that it’s the missing ‘b1′ bingo ball from the Castle Bingo brawl of 2002.

    This is new and convincing evidence that the space program is just a big public relations scam, isn’t it! Just like that whole man-on-the-moon thing! Yes! We’ve been vindicated!

    We have no rovers on Mars, no. We have rovers in studios with blue screens and bad techs who leave stones turned up the wrong way.

    . . . Hey, waitaminnit. Who’s tinfoil hat is this? What have they done to my brain? Aaargh!

    Ok, so now I got that out of my system, I’m going to go talk bacteria to a bunch of science geeks.
