One of the craziest years on our books is over. Finally. Someone tap 2009 on the shoulder because it’s time to come out of the game. As the world gathers this week to celebrate the beginning of the new decade we are wondering about the status of our world.

Will our economy bounce back? Will vampire movies still be run into the ground? Will Tiger Woods recover? These are just some of the things on our mind as we take a look back at some of the best and worst of 2009 and reflect.

Maybe it’s the moonshine, but we’re feeling a little nostalgic.

We’d like to point out that the movie 2010 with Roy Scheider was full of crap.  We are no where near the ability to cruise around the moons of Jupiter much less have crazy-ass computers going on killing sprees or have the technology to give John Lithgow a full head of hair.

It’s all a crock!

Since we can’t go into space or fly around the city in our hovercar or personal jet pack, we are forced to stay here on Earth and take the best that society has to offer.  And by society we mean the Internet.  Pop culture had a big year in 2009 and here’s some of the highlights over the last 12 months.

December 2009: Japanese Nurse Prank

November 2009: And the Tiger Woods Scandal Begins

October 2009: Five Reasons Chicago Was Rejected For 2016 Olympic Games

September 2009: Rejected Titles of Sarah Palins New Book

August 2009: From Hell: Christian-Newsom Murder Trial Begins In Knoxville

July 2009:  Why is Captain Kirk Climbing a Mountain?

June 2009: 5 Best Zach Galifianakis Moments

May 2009:  Ferris Bueller Fight Club Theory: You Sir Just Blew My Mind

April 2009: Great Japanese Fluorescent Light Fights

March 2009: Padma Lakshmi Sexy Hardee’s Burger Commercial

February 2009: Lily Allen Performing in Blue Lingerie

January 2009: Johnny Knoxville detained for inert grenade at airport

Everyone hopes to leave behind a legacy. They want to be remembered after their passing for generations to come. This method is currently the only feasible way to immortality until those lazy scientists figure out how to successfully unfreeze our frozen heads and put them on viable bodies.

So, for now we are stuck with the legacy method. And with society’s attention span more fleeting than ever some people try harder to embellish their legacy to get attention. And if that person is cunning enough they may figure out how to push the media’s buttons in just the right way to stay current in the news.

You Betcha!

That’s where our favorite train wreck, Sarah Palin, comes into play. We actually think Palin is one of the best things to happen to the Internet this decade and we were tickled to learn the gun toting soccer mom is staying fresh in current events with a new book that’s due to hit book stores on November 17th, just in time for a great Thanksgiving dinner.

As we take a look inside the literary genius of Sarah Palin (which we heard was ghost written by the writing duo of Sean Hannity and Gary Busey), we found out that there were some working titles for this literary gem that did not make the cut.

Palin’s book is officially being called “Going Rouge: An American’s Life” which is just an awesome title. As we imagine the movie rights being auctioned off to Michael Bay in the coming months we ponder some of the titles that almoster were…

1. Twitter to Quiter: From Presidency to the Unemployment Line
2. Short Bus to the Presidency
3. Palindrome: Rise To Vote, Sir! [intro by Fred Thompson]
4. The Big Book Of Lesbian Horse Stories [title already taken]
5. Palintology: A Republican Guide to Integrity and Humility in Politics
6. The Sarah Palin Pocket Atlas
7. I Am Not Tina Fey!
8. The Maverick’s Guide to Shotgun Weddings and Family Values [intro by David Letterman]
9. Bridge to Nowhere: Make 15 Minutes of Fame Last Forever!
10. Heartbeat: How Vice President Palin Came So Close
