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

Ah I see where the name comes from .

But do you know where it's going? My cousin, who lives in the City, just bought an air conditioner. She works as a computer expert and has to fight her way through the TRL crowd every day. I think it would be funny to get the a tape of that.

TRL?

This show on MTV called Total Request Live (TRL) that always has this crowd of teens outside it's headquaters in Times Square, (1515 Broadway) and it stops pedestrian traffic.

Shows how out-of-touch this old broad is!

Actually, that would be a funny tape ... I think they should send tourists through that gauntlet!

I find that if one carries a big baseball bat in one's hands they usually can get a path through the most crowded streets.

And possibly a major league contract!

Isn't that how Ty Cobb got started?

*calls travel agent, cancells new york package*

No, don't do that! When visiting New York, why not take a drive through enchented Newark or Jersey City late at night with the doors unlocked?

And the windows rolled down!

And don't forget the sign on the bumper that reads "Tourist"

Make sure you flash your credit cards, too!

And wear Hawaniian shirts and Gilligan hats! ROFL

And wear a big camera around your neck!

And huge sun-glasses in white plastic frames!

And be sure to ask a friendly stranger to take a picture of you using your camera!

And ask him to hold your wallet because it's so full of cash it makes a funny bulge in your blue polyester pants.

Hire someone on the street to watch your car while you shop!

Ask someone else on the street to watch your bags while you track down the guy who 'misplaced' your car.
