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

I could have sworn that your 125 was from some Graham Greene book but obviously it's not. 'My personal space' header is currently a combi-Joyce/Steinbeck production. It's about eggs.
Your Joocy reference may be to do with those square sweets, Opal Fruits, that are made to make your mouth water. Four refreshing fruit flavours and all that.

Yes, I suppose it does have the right flyblown air about it. I've footnoted by Joocy one now...and in so doing realised I had misquoted (now fixed).

I suppose my latest is not unadjacent to Greene, in a tangential way. It's a mangling of a quote by a pal of his. All will be revealed just as soon as I've thought of an alternative. Watch this space. Or, rather, that space.

Damn you! Just when I'd settled on a new nickname:
'Edward the Bonobo - I've seen the best minds of my generation destroyed',
you go and spoil it!

I didn't know it was Ginsberg's 10th deathday. What a weird coincidence. (But, hey, wouldn't it be soooo spooky if there were never any coincidences?)

Did you know...Ginsberg claimed to have slept with a man who'd slept with Walt Whitman?

Ho! ho! Is that a backhanded compliment or a complaint I see before me? You can always use "Garcia Lorca, what were you doing down by the watermelons?" or even "What peaches and what penumbras!" you know.

That's really funny about Walt Whitman's connection to Ginsberg.

There's a photo of Ginsberg's boyfriend on Wikipedia by the way, or rather a family snap of the pair of them together.
