Movie series about space wizards and incest
Its a wonderful restaurant with great views, but no sneeze guard on the salad bar.
- I went there once, but the Maître d' was a real jerk.
It's one of those bus tours in Hollywood.
It's a reality TV series where D-list personalities are dropped in the middle of the forrest and have to hike out without being eaten by bears.
- Do they have to be D-list? I'd watch if they were at least B-list.
  I'd even do a Pay-Per-View if I got to see Andy Dick or Mayim Byalik eaten by a bear.
  
  Depends on how well the first season goes, the producers are a little cautious in case the bears aren't really as viscous as they said on their CVs.
That's what locals call the hike that goes past the walk of fame to the Hollywood sign.
It's not quite a bicycle, and it's not quite a black hole, but man! So anyways, I don't know.
- aye, and if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a wagon!
It is a Carl Sagan science documentary where he discusses science and astronomy with the viewer while hiking through stunning mountains.
- You're thinking of Stargate SG-1. Common mistake.
The best Battlestar Galactica spinoff.
It's a rather famous hike up in Yukon, Canada, where you have to travel on foot through a twenty mile-long canyon, to emerge at night into a bowl-shaped canyon bowl that has an incredible view of the northern sky, and if you count them all, you can see over one million stars. You know, if it's not cloudy. But then you have to march twenty miles back, in the dark, or you have to camp out in the bowl canyon, where (quite famously) there are no good spots to camp because of all the rocks and no flat spots big enough for tents or sleeping, and the bottom of the bowl is an icy swamp.
A type of cheese.
- Goes great with burnt bird meat!
Isn't that the thing with the weird people or something?
A great collection of historical documents.
