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

I want to know how to use this as intended I do not want to spoil this.

Bob...

hi Bob
i just popped in briefly, am in the midst of guests for a few days....

read post 5 in this thread to see where we are at on this... F7775621?thread=4371097&latest=1

i dont seem to be in communique with the other two members of the Librarian team but i left them a message there and hope they pick up on it

so hopefully what you have done will be the way we go... threads under the collection for listings of h2g2 work and links in the actual entry for any literature or media (pictures, movies music etc etc) that has inspired you to become or maintain yourself as a writer (kinda a peek into the researcher's soul)

we are still writing this library and lounge... any suggestions you have on how t word our descriptions of the different aspects of it would be muchly appreciated (like how to make the special collections room more understandable) <smiley)

Hi. I would have found this sooner, if I'd subscribed to the in' page

Fluffy, you actually WANT a list of everything that's inspired me to be the person I am today? You absolutely sure you want me to inflict it on you?

Oook!

Axi... sure!
. ..well.. . not EVERYthing.. .

but your question has inspired me to look further back than i have... i am now looking for the definitive faierie tale book that i read when a child... After school, we kids would wait in our smalltown library for our dad to pick us up. I went through the entire bookshelf of faerie tales while waiting (about 20 feet.) This was before i was 12.

Wow. That's quite a story, fluffy.

You actually want to know the details of my interests, and how they shaped my into this this mess of flesh and hormones called by some a teenager by more a total weirdo/oddball/eccentric? You're braver than I thought

>> Wow. That's quite a story, fluffy. << . .. ...you forgot to put the smiley

yes i think it would be very interesting for all involved to have a look-see at the important muses of your literary evolution


....and anyone elses, too, for that matter.

If you insist...in no particular order...
(you brought this upon yourself, fluffy. Don't forget )

Music
Not much here, but I enjoy Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony and am partial to Kenny Rogers, Bob Dylan and the Beatles as well as Queen, the King and (to my secret shame) The Chicken Song and Agadoo.

I'll give you a minute to recover from those two...

ha! And tho i hate that song... i will be humming it for weeks!

do you think the youtube of the chicken song would pass yikes muster here or should the Librarian just put a link to the wikipedia treatment of it?

The Librarian can probably find links for all that but dont you think Axi that you can find the best links for them... that show best the aspects of what you love most about them?

Am i correct in surmising "the King" is Elvis? if not... who?

...this list looks very much like my long list

That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret shame
Became impatient to be free

Even told the golden daffodils
At last my heart's an open door
And my secret shame's no secret an y more

Let me know how you get on.


Bob...

>>> The film the 7th sammuri

The 1954 Akira Kurosawa classic originally called The Magnificent Seven, but renamed The Seven Samurai, because by the time it was released in the USA, the American remake in 1960 had already co-opted the name? Was it released elsewhere as the 7th Samurai, or is this a different film?

ook?

The 1954 Akira Kurosawa classic The Seven Samurai got the title mixed up
