h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Being of an uncertain age, I remember things. Being of an uncertain brain chemistry, I forget things. I remember things I forgot years ago and I can't tell you what I had for breakfast yesterday. Somethings I remember like they were yesterday and my Mother says they never happened. I do remember the day John Lennon died. I don't make Yoko jokes. If it hadn't been for her, he wouldn't have had that extra decade. I do remember that. I don't remember when Kurt Cobain died. I do remember when Frank Zappa went. And Chet Atkins. And Charles Shultz. And Smythe. I remember the name of my first grade teacher and I called her when my child was in the first grade. She was very touched that I remembered. She's dead now. So's my seventh grade science teacher and my sixth grade math teacher. But the ******-****-****-***** who molested my brother and I when we were twelve and thirteen, he's still alive! You know, I TOLD! but it didn't mean a thing. Nice to know you can depend on adults when it really counts.
