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

Pisa People,

I made a wee alteration on my PS - added the html that changes colours - and as a result it seems to have gone into moderation. I'm told this is a known bug. Can you please fix it, when you've got a mo.

Ta.

Sounds like your colour didn't get through the profanity filter.

Just checked the Dulux chart... was it " Purple"?

Couldn't be any more obscene than Brunel Green, surely?

We've reinstated it now. It may well have been yiksed because of your dubious colour scheme or possibly because you have yet to see any of the Godfather films. But it's ok now... let us know it disappears again.

Ta. I thought it was a rather appealing shade of mauve, myself.

>>yet to see any of the Godfather films<<??


I would send him a profane message, if his Message Centre was working

Well I do admit it is my Undying Shame. It's even worse, though...I've had the DVD of The Godfather for *ages*...but still haven't got around to it.

Star Wars, on the other hand...

Star Wars?


Excuse me, I need to go see how many s I can use before I am ing 'd

Read my PS (I believe you can now ) to see what I think of ing Star ing Wars.

??

No, not yet daaahling!


Aaah! Indeed, dear Bonobo, you are not missing anything by refusing to watch Star ing Wars


Now the Godfather series: You juss gotta watch

I have not seen any of the Star ing Wars films or Godfather films, either. No intention of bothering with Star ing Wars, but I, too, must get around to seeing at least the original Godfather film.

Wonder why your purple failed the filthers but my blue was OK on the first try. Kinda makes me want to try the purple.

Well I'm told that Godfather II is even better than the first. Also...the only (first?) sequel to win Best Movie Oscar.

btw...even without watching it...I've spotted a couple of Godfather references in The Sopranos (eg oranges = death)

And also Scorsese references...such as the first time we see Christopher Moltisanto, he's limping. In Goodfellas, Michael Imperioli's character was shot in the foot.

To be honest, I think your PS is in need of ing for the sheer number of footnotes you've used.

I was trying to beat my record here A3100168.

I disliked the Sopranos so much after just one or two episodes, I never watched it again. Reminds me too much of the worst aspects of the neighborhood I grew up in. But I catch Godfather references all over the place and somehow manage to "get" a lot of them. It will be interesting to finally (eventually) see the film. I'll make sure to see the second one, too, but have heard the third was unwatchable.

Your footnotes are fun, Edward, even if you haven't added one for *every* tagline.

Nah! Gave up on the footnotes.

But The Sopranos was *brilliant*.

Another favourite moment was when Chrissie arrived late at a meeting with Tony and Silvio and gave the excuse:

'The highway was blocked by broken heroes out on a last chance power drive.'

(The joke being that Silvio was played by 'Miami' Steve van Zandt of the E St Band)

Anyone seen the Wise Guy funeral scene in 'Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai'?

'Sorry your nephew got whacked'
'Eh - whaddya gonna do?'

Now "Ghost Dog", I really liked! "Sorry your nephew got whacked" is a brilliant condolence.
