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

I've just spent about ten minutes searching the recipe folder on my PC, My Documents, backup My Documents, for a recipe I *know* I have - because I know I have it and because I used it a few weeks ago.

Then I remembered it's in an actual made-of-trees, pick-it-up-and-open-it cookbook that I've owned for years. You know, one of those things where all the recipes used to be when we was kids Is this a sign of how central and important to my life the computer has become, that I automatically assume everything's there, either on it or accessible through it on the interwebs?

These days I rarely walk the 15 feet over to the bookcase to get a CD. Why bother when I can usually find it on YouTube?

"But the line separating craft brewers from large multinational companies is growing blurrier."

"Blurrier"?

As someone who failed English Language O Level (Twice), I find it really grating when even I can spot the obvious.

"I'm not drunk, you're just blurry."

Forgive me, but a favorite movie quote just popped into my head.

Whatever film that is, I don't think I've seen it but now I want to

I'm not sure it's up your alley, Gosho. It's from Pitch Perfect, a movie about college students competing in a capella groups. It's chock full of great one liners.

Hmm, you could be right, but I'll have a look through the quotes section

Oh, by the way... I saw this and thought it might be appreciated here.

Considering the construction delays and the obvious corruption that's causing them, it's quite appropriate.

ALEC calls for penalties on 'freerider' homeowners in assault on clean energy

No words

I suspect you're one of Pat Sajak's unpatriotic racists.

reckon I must be. I'm sorry, Pat, silly me. What was I thinking.

No, wait... what were *you* thinking

Oh dear Bob no

Questions. I have so many questions. Mostly to do with of 'what's holding it up?' Double-sided Velcro tape on the old chap and the scrotum? Araldite? Art?

What's it tucked into at the back.

Does it have to be applied (and/or removed) under a local anaesthetic?

But mostly just why? WHY??? And how can I un-see it?

I'm so glad I wasn't seeing that for the first time this morning.

And what do we call it. This is an order magnitude greater than the old "plum smugglers" and "banana hammocks".

I think I'll call it the ol' Juevos Bolero as it does seem to imply somethings about to be flung.

Oh, and to what's holding in the back? I'm not sure, but I suspect a popping sound when it's removed.

that's a mental picture that has scarred me for life (but now I seriously want to know what the rear view looks like)

I'm also curious about the rear view, but I don't think I want to see it When we showed Borat at the Drafthouse and a couple of the servers volunteered to dress up in green mankinis, they wore a body stocking underneath, just because it would probably have put customers off their food

When something like this hoves into view my train of thought usually goes along these lines:

There's a chain of people that goes from the person who first came up with the idea, to the person who thought it'd be a good product to manufacture, from the person who thought it'd be a good product to sell, to the person who thought they'd look good in it and bought it.

In each case, my reaction is 'What the were you thinking?' There are people who dreamed up the idea, people who pitched the idea, people who signed off on it as a good prospect and people who... well, I was going to say who had the balls to actually wear it in public, but in this case having balls would be a definite disadvantage.

Any road up. Every single one of those people is very, very silly and should be slapped very hard with the slapping hand.

I actually suspect this wraps completely around his upper thigh, over his hip and buttock and under his tweenis. (Yes, the word 'tweenis' is now in your vocabulary. If you're unsure what it means, it is related to 'taint'.)

Basically, I think it's like an Alice band (a new term I learned from Gosho's threads) with a pocket.

I want to go and look to see if your suggestion might be right... but I don't think I can

Oh, so that http://www.thebaglady.tv/alicebands.jpg is what Alice bands are. I'm guessing they must have had a name other than headbands or hairbands when I was a kid, but if they did I can't remember it now. Don't they have small teeth on the inside, like comb teeth but very short?
