I love it when I hear people say Futurama-related stuff. I swear my friend must be a secret fan because the other day she randomly said "insane in the membrane" and she keeps saying stuff that could be Futurama quotes. Oh, and a while ago our Physics teacher let us watch Futurama. It was pretty funny 'cause he said his son recommended it and it was AWitM. That kinda reminded me of Futurama a bit...

And OH MY GOD there is a girl in my school called Amy Wong! I heard someone say her name the other day and I nearly died. In fact, I heard two people say it in two days and I've never heard it before.

Everything reminds me of Futurama! Also this song by Oasis:

Calling on the stars to fall
And catch the silver sunlight in your hands
Come for me and set me free
Lift me up and take me where I stand

She believes in everything
And everyone and you and yours and mine
I've waited for a thousand years
For you to come and blow me out my mind

Hey, Lyla
The stars are about to fall
So what d'you say, Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so small, Lyla
If you can't hear me call then I can say, Lyla
Heaven'll help you catch me if I fall

She's the queen of all I've seen
And every song and city far and near
Heaven help me Madmoiselle
She rings the bell for all the world to hear

Hey, Lyla
The stars are about to fall
So what d'you say, Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so small,Lyla
If you can't hear me call then I can say,Lyla
Heaven'll help you catch me if I fall...

Hey, Lyla
The stars are about to fall
So what d'you say, Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so small,Lyla
If you can't hear me call then I can say, Lyla
Heaven'll help you catch me when I fall...

Edit:I'm pulling down delivery boy money now!

I live in Houston, and there are two nearish me: one with a "oil well gusher" theme, and one near NASA with a, well, NASA theme. (I'm jonesing to go to the NASA one but it's like an hour away from us, while the oil-well one is only twenty minutes away, and my roommate usually chooses expediancy (and saving on gasoline) over cool decor. )

So we go there recently, and there's this big gusher-shaped sign says "FRY'S", and I can just see Fry being hurled into the air by spurting oil and screaming "Help, Leela!" And of course the store's name is plastered everywhere inside, and every time I see it I keep picturing Fry in a lot of incongruous situations and laughing to myself.

That was one of the clues on Jeopardy tonight!

If you had said "Futurama" - you would be wrong!
The correct answer is:
"What is Futurama?"

Answer must be in the form of a question!

Having a 'Zapp' moment?

So I saw this poem today, that my friend read in English class. She is a Futurama fan, but she hadn't seen 4th season (which I then loaned her just afterwards), so she didn't pick it because of Seymour.

Nonetheless, read and weep:

A Dog Sits Waiting
By Kathy Flood

A dog sits waiting in the cold autumn sun,
Too faithful to leave, too frightened to run.
He's been here for days now with nothing to do
But sit by the road, waiting for you.

He can't understand why you left him that day
He thought you and he were stopping to play.
He's sure you'll come back, and that's why he stays
How long will he suffer: How many more days?

His legs have grown weak, his throat's parched and dry
He's sick now from hunger and falls with a sigh.
He lays down his head and closes his eyes
I wish you could see how a waiting dog dies.

*bawls*

OMG... *cries* You know, I have a dog that I HATE. But thanks to this, I just changed my heart.

Thank you for posting this.

*continues crying*

"It's a pain that sleeps inside, it sleeps with just one eye".

From that point that reminded me of Leela, and the other part reminded me of her relationship with Fry. It kinda made me picture the scene in "The Why Of Fry" when Leela told Fry she had a date with Chazz (for some odd reason) I just thought about it the first time I heard it.
