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

Well, I have to admit that I never liked LA...and when I lived near there I frequented San Francisco more often. But, there ARE some redeeming points. Or, maybe just one. Watch the movie LA Story with Steve Martin. I think it would appeal to you.

Good article. Really bring out the glory of LA . The km² is a bit confusing as it is next to a footnote. I would recommend spelling out either "square km" or "square kilometres" as this would not make people look for footnote 21 or figure out why there is 21 dimensions to LA . 10515km²? Is LA really that big?

Don't ask me, I just wrote the article...the editors threw in all the handy statistics.

Personally, I prefer your original article .

Thank you very much! I felt like too many of the good bits got hacked out of this one myself, but it doesn't do much good to complains.

Why not? Complaining releases thoughts and is very pleasurable .

Because I've already gone this route before, in my Inland Empire, California article. The editors will tell me that they removed that stuff to avoid offending people. But since they have no insight into the LA psyche, they have no way of knowing what Angelinos will find offensive. But, at least I can complain to you...

Oh, L.A., I've been to that planet.Most people ask me to explain when I tell them that the place is a planet unto itself.I was on a bus there when this blonde haired,blue - eyed kid was running up and down the aisle of the bus.His mother , a tanned,blonde haired,blue-eyed radiant beauty of a beach comber told him to "come sit with me".It was very civil, laid back and cool until she called this light skinned,Norwegian-looking toddler by his name, Amahl.That's L.A. to me.The place where you can take the conventional tightly restrained norms of the east coast American experience and throw it out the window.The bland practicality of the midwest has no place there and neither does the Bible hugging evangelistic south.It is an endless suburb filled with people who either ignore or major on appearance and cosmetics.

what u said was stupid but i enjioed reading it

Likewise,I'm sure.

LA was fun... but it's not as much fun when your radiator boils over in front of mans chinese theater.

You mention an article on the Inland Empire, CA, by which I presume you mean the area around San Bernadino.

I can't find your entry on this, how is it indexed? I have very good friends who live in Upland so I know the area moderately well so I'd be interested to read what you have to say.

Fatlock: you're only two clicks away. First, click on my name on top of this forum to bring you to my homepage. There's a collection of links on the top that'll take you straight to it.

Just think - you could have spilled greenish,smelly liquid over the most famous names in Hollywood history.Not to mention their handprints.

Lol. Yes i could've. That would've been funny.
