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

Although...what we don't notice is the gangs we belong to ourselves.

My gangs were 1211 sqdn and Ashby Grammar School.

That was then. What about now?

Have you ever seen the scene from James Dean's "Rebel Without A Cause" in which they were cutting off buttons with switchblades? When I was a kid they were still doing that.

Not in a gang now; but did James Dean have a fast car. Mmm

So he did. There is a monument to him in California's central coast area, near the location of his fatal car crash, a metal sculpture rather fancifully wrapped around a tree, created by his Japanese fan club.

The actual scene of the crash was about 500 meters east of the memorial.

I saw a banker on tv yesterday; explaining the need to keep on track with austerity; the pain we suffer is worth it.

She didn't look much like a banker; but the million dollar pearl necklace she was wearing confirmed she had to have lots of money.

Yeah, those rich folks always say it is worth it, but they do very little of the suffering.
As Bob Dylan said

You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the s
When they all did tricks for you.
You never understood that it ain't no good to let other folks get your tricks for you.
You used to be so ammused at Napoleon in rags and the language that he used.
Go to him now you can't refuse.
When you got nothing to lose.
You're invisible now, got no secrets to reveal.
How does it feel- to be on your own.
A complete unknown- Just like a rolling stone

whistle why we work

twice as long, twice as hard, until the grave for half the pay.



But money can't bring happiness; sung the with the big jewels



The rich bunny man said he was going to open a new night club if he got a tax cut.

Where is it???
