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

I hate sentences that read like that, too. We have these little display screens in the elevators at the office building I work in. They stream little news bytes, weather conditions, etc. And nearly every sentence is phrased in a similar fashion. "Excuse me, but your participles are dangling!

I get these recurring, viral eye infections. Apparently, through no fault of my own, the virus that causes my recurring cold sores (I tend to get one either a week or so before a cold or flu, or along with my montlies, during winter months) has lodged itself on my cornea, and causes an occasional conjunctival flare-up. Hurts like HELL and makes it all but impossible to focus the eye on anything. Last time, I had to have my cornea cleaned. That didn't feel so hot, either.

I haven't got any stairs at home, or carpets (other than a couple of area rugs), but I wear at the very least sweats or flannel bottoms at home, to prevent arse injuries. That, and to eliminate any chance of leaning over in front of the windows and sending up the Bat Signal.

What an image!

Talking of dangling participles, have I shown you this particular item of our stock?

Will have to read it completely later, when I have fewer distractions (i.e., actual work). I'm too distracted by all the cute pictures of babies.

It was only for the title really. I always wanted to draw a speech bubble out of his mouth saying "Bud I karnt rede it "

You know, when I read the title it processed correctly in my head, so I didn't notice anything funny at the time.

What to say about Kali?

"Kali was a black goddess from Hindu mythology whose relationship with Warren Beatty formed the basis for a song that spent three weeks at number 1."

Balls to this. Some of these are more alliterative than contextual.

It's hard enough for me to write an entry about something I actually know about. I can't say I blame you- it was an awfully ambitious subject anyway.

I'm supposed to be writing something myself, but I just haven't had any *time*.

>>Balls to this. Some of these are more alliterative than contextual.

So it's a bit like Billy Joel, then? Throwing in all these clever random names to appear hip?

I prefer Dexy's 'Dance Stance'

Nice (succinct).

I once lived in a house previously vacated by Geno Washington. He had done a huge mural on the wall of the back room, an African scene with an elephant... and the USS Enterprise in the distance.
