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

"
I wanted the banner to say “Heil Hitler” or “Guys are stupid” or something, but the airplane company wouldn’t agree to those. So, I said, “My friend Jesus [said with a Hispanic accent] is getting married and I want to play a joke on him.” And Jesus [said with hispanic intonation] spells Jesus [said with non-hispanic intonation]. They didn’t want to intentionally piss people off, so I kind of manipulated the situation.

My feelings are mixed. . .



So I'll go to bed.

So, how about those 'Jeebux is Lard' graffiti frequently seen adorning large boulders along our nation's highways?

At least the airplane banner was much more ephemeral.

I've missed these ---



oh. Lard. I get it.


yes, the aereal phenomenon was more ephemeral. But, still, I hesitate to praise cheap media gimmics designed to garner ratings boosts at the expense of the feelings of old dogs unable to even imagine new tricks let alone learn them.

To often I come back to either 'what's the point' or 'is the point realy worth bothering with?'

I mean, it's not like we live in a theocracy like Iran or the U.S. . .

Not yet, we don't.

There are strange and mysterious forces at work, my friend.

Strange and mysterious forces...

This has something to do with those damn British Jedi, doesn't it?

British Jedi?




No. It's a line from the Seventh Voyage of Sinbad.

1958 is before my time.

Don't tell me you never stayed up late Saturdays watching old movies on the tube

I think some of these are currently aired on TCM

It's a classic, for Bob's sake!

TCM!

If I had religion, that channel would probably be part of it!

If I watched television, that channel would probably be one I watched~!



(damn fine lunch, btw!)

Unlike Chance the Gardener, I don't like to watch TV.




(I do, however, have youthful memories of Jane Seymour in Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger)
