Since space truckers has been done as a movie, I don't know whether I can match what's already been done. I mean, c'mon -- the film version stars Dennis Hopper, and from the imdb cast list I see characters named "Bitchin' Betty," "Fat Jacker" and "Woman on the Toilet." How can I compete with that?
Anyway, people are dropping hints that I'm going too long between posts. I'll try to rectify that.

If you really are thinking of abandoning both space cowboys and space truckers, then I have two words for you:
Space Carnies.
Actually, Ben, I think you and I should collaborate on a script. I've always been a dan of courtroom dramas, and you've got the law degree.
I don't think anyones written about Space Lawyers.
The could prosecute interstellar travellers who fly faster than the speed of light because they broke the laws of physics.
I think you should do Space Managing Editors.
The space defense attorneys would get them off on some quantum technicality.
Space managing editors? Does that refer to outer space, or to the space between their ears?
My mom's nickname in high school was Space, and it had nothing to do with the "outer" variety. Kim, if you ever do get to meet her, let's look at her high school yearbooks---there's a great picture of her with the caption, "Space at it again." It's in the inside back cover, just like that embarrassing picture in my yearbook.
FYI, in the seven degrees of George Z kind of way, just a heads-up about your favorite space managing editor ...
saw my site through J., may have bookmarked it, may be checking your site, which now links to the vampire. Do I take down my link to you?
Um, I'd check with the vamp. Thus far she hasn't posted about work, but that may change (Though I have). But if she doesn't want the link, go ahead and take me off your site.
Oooh, I like when you call me "the vamp."
Yeah, so if I ever tell you that "you suck," it's just an inside joke.
George, I don't mean to scold, but you don't seem to be getting any better on the posting frequency.
I suppose I'm not one to talk. I'm already planning to only post once a week once I start a blog.
Hey, I went four months without posting, and I have two this month already.
All you're doing is exposing how my life is uneventful and boring thus I have nothing to post about.
Take a tip from kc and post about other people's lives. I'm sure you could come up with something to say about her.
Or take a tip from me and post about how much more exciting your life was in sixth grade.
George: Way up in the second comment you referred to collaborating. Just so you know, I'm planning to start two blogs next week, and one of them will be my fiction (of which I haven't written any yet).
So then you'll get to find out just how bad an idea it would be to have me bringing down your writing. Maybe I could research for you or something, though.
