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

There was a lovely party for the end of NaJoPoMo. I took part briefly.

I thought to post in my last journal to use someone else's words that I was reminded of this month and admire so much. I posted a link here somewhere already somewhere.

If I could write a sentence to this standard I would be a very happy woman.


'The thing I hate about you Rowntree is the way you give Coca Cola to your scum, and your best teddy bear to Oxfam, and expect the rest of us to lick your frigid fingers, for the rest of your frigid life..'

From the film 'If'. The screen play is by David Sherwin. It was directed by Lindsay Anderson..and stars Malcolm McDowell, who speaks these words in that clip. The film won the Palme d'Or at 1969 Cannes film festival.

Glad you enjoyed the party, Effers.

And that is a powerful sentence.

I didn't enjoy the party. I hated it. I was being sarcastic.

And yes it is a powerful sentence.
