I'm just glad they qualified this as many of these (including ones I'm familiar with) don't really stand on their own, which to make a 'greatest' list should.
And they left out an important corollary: "I've had it with these monkey-loving snakes on this monkey-loving plane!" The edited for television version from Snakes on a Plane. Just as good if not better than the original.

Here's the direct link FM referenced above. Good Listen. The Man Behind the Sword. Except for Red Nails, all of the original Howard Conan stories were adapted in Marvel's Savage Sword of Conan magazine. My Conan comic collection is pretty complete and of all the 'old' comic characters, Conan is the only one I've kept up with. Marvel has (finally) just relaunched Conan - Conan the Barbarian and Savage Sword of Conan and I'm enjoying them both. Crush your enemies.See them driven before you.Hear the lamentations of their women. Despite Raffaella De Laurentiis, Conan the Barbarian (1982), with Arnold Schwarzenegger is a great movie and should not be confused with any other similarly titled films.

Two different contexts at work here. I've been JOMOing most of my life. But it's more about avoiding the "in" thing. I never owned a Leisure Suit and there's yet to be a single iOS device in my life..As for people, up here you were either born in Maine or are "From Away." That was once an important distinction with varying degrees of consequences. Not so much anymore. The Seattle Freeze is destined for the same. A funny vernacular that will be overwhelmed by sheer numbers.

Your argument fails to take in two things: (1) The pace of today's change. In the past major technological change sometimes took generations to fully penetrate society. Think horse and buggy to car and compare that to an iPad. (2) Prior to the 2000's nearly all change was "analog to analog" in that it required human interaction and face time. Now we've progressed from analog to digital and then from digital to digital. No more human interaction required. We're now at the point where many either no longer even want human interaction or don't even know how to it.

This has always fascinated me. I was in South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana for 30 days in July/August 1980 and the aftermath was still quite noticeable. Great book:

Woah. Where's most of the cast from Room 222? I guess if you had to pick just one it would be Lloyd Haynes as Mr. Dixon. Paging WTM. WTM please report to Mason's Pool Hall, Sandusky, Ohio, err.. Neatorama.
