Conan Answers More of Your Questions About Modern Life
Conan, what is worst in modern life?
Catching the wires of your headphones on a door handle and having them pulled out of your ears. This. This is to know murderous rage.

Taco; wonder dog and escapologist
We did a long drive through the Gold Coast hinterland yesterday; a strange, contrary world of mist shrouded valleys, plunging rainforests, icey cold streams and tiny hamlets. Nothing like the plastic shimmer of Surfers Paradise.

I had no idea this was even in development, let alone as a six part TV series. Directed by George Clooney!

Had a pleasant surprise this morning when I found a cheque-yes, an actual paper cheque, possibly delivered by carrier pigeon-in my PO Box. It was from Baen, for a story in John Ringo's Voices of the Fall anthology. I'd forgotten about that piece, and the money turned up fortuitously.
