Far out. Today is the day I became an intergalactic movie
star. Go see my movie, Zaphod’s Guide to the Galaxy, in theaters everywhere.
And remember, For People, Democracy, and Stuff.
Fanboys are a vocal, un-unified, consortium of predominantly young males devoted to one overarching ideal - the unwavering desire to harshly criticize that which they love most. On any given day, you can typically find two Fanboys debating subjects like "webslingers" (organic vs. mechanical) with the same amount of vigor and fervor as a country locked in the throes of civil war, with the stakes seemingly just as high. The Guide lists five definitions for the word passion:
(1) A powerful emotion, such as love, joy, hatred, or anger
(2) Strong sexual desire; lust
(3) Boundless enthusiasm
(4) An abandoned display of emotion, especially anger
(5) The sufferings of a man who suggested that humans be nice to each other.
As it relates to Fanboys, the Guide actually lists a sixth definition for the word passion: virgin.
Zaphod Speaks to the People Again
This is head #2 - Congratulations Lincolnman – you’ve
just shot up to the top of the list of things to do today. Give me your coordinates – I now have to make
a side trip to rip your spleen out through your throat before I continue on to
Planet Magrathea.
