The Ball Dropped

The website of the greatest pulp fiction writer who ever lived
Hack was dining with some acquaintances (he doesn’t really have friends) and he commented that the Zager & Evans’ 1969 apocalyptic folk song In the Year 2525 could just as easily apply to the shit show we’re entering into in 2025. He was then shocked to be told that neither of his companions had heard of the song so he assumed that he hallucinated it during one of drunken binges and wrote this rip-off novel as if it was his creation, even including a CD of him croaking the song and including it with the book.
Zager & Evans inevitably sued Hack for plagiarism as soon as the novel hit bookstores and he now faces 2025 on the verge of declaring bankruptcy for the sixth time. Happy new year!
Happy heavenly birthday to the immortal Rudyard Kipling!
Incredibly, this is the 300th book that Hack had published in 2024. He was proud of that until he realized that he’s only made $16.34 in royalties during the entire goddamn year.
Happy heavenly birthday to the great Nichelle Nichols!
You really have to be a fan of Casablanca, Monty Python’s Flying Circus and The Godfather to fully appreciate this one, but what the hell.
Happy heavenly birthday to Sydney Greenstreet!
Happy birthday to Jake Gyllenhaal!
Happy birthday to Brad Pitt!
