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

Have fun with this one. My mouth's watering just thinking about it.

Just realized, a link would be convenient.

Looks good to me... it could probably use a footnote or two for the denser readers such as myself who can't figure out what an S.U.V. is... *grin*... and for those (again, such as myself) who failed French and don't know what 'a la mode' means. (Actually, I got a B, which is technically a pass, but there you go).

Other'n that, you're missing a capital letter at the start of the second-last paragraph and you'd be better off using italics rather than all-caps for emphasis...

I don't s'pose the café has a website? You never know, these days...

Anyway. Good stuff, it gets my vote

Your additions have been made friend. See if they help you any.

And I, being American, assumed that EVERYBODY knew what an SUV was, but I guess they're an American contraption. Ah well. What was it DNA said about foreign countries? They do things exactly the same there, same for smellier cars (or something. I didn't put that in quotes for a reason.)


Thanks for lookin', and convincing me I didn't break some unsaid h2g2 taboo and was being blackballed for my error.

this article is WONDERFUL. i love it! i now have this strange urge to jump in my car and drive to montclair, new jersey.


mikey

just out of curiosity--drive to Montclair from WHERE?

Triv

seattle... *grin*

That's a relief--I thought you were going to say London.



Well, if you ARE coming at some point in the future, drop me a line and let me know (I live right around the corner from the cafe)

Grin.

The bridge connecting London and New York is only a few years away, I'm sure.

I myself am tempted to stop by the next time I'm in the neighborhood. The desserts sound incredible. I only live halfway across the country in Missouri, so it's not as far for me, and the only major body of water I need to cross -- the Mississippi -- already has a bridge over it.

Regarding breaking h2g2 taboos--
Humo(u)r is very subjective, and sometimes the sub-ed will keep it in, and sometimes the sub-ed will take it out, but it usually isn't a reason to ignore the piece. Personally, I enjoyed the humor.

They are probably likely to remove the use of the term "froody". They don't like direct references to DNA's work.

However, otherwise, its a good review in my opinion.
