Went to West World + [paranoid homophone] and bought trousers that fit! And are my length! Yay!

Shops say there is a "short" length available in their trouser range. I have very rarely seen the beast. In fact, I think they keep them at head office, in the basement, in a toilet with "beware of the leopard" on a sign outside.

[this is a very bad paraphrase of a wholy remarkable book]

[okay... it's this book]

It's "the Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy" which is a "remarkable book":

[Spoiler (click to open)]"It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying Beware of the Leopard."

If you haven't read H2G2, what planet are you on? It is nothing like the movie. Please erase the movie from your consciousness. If you haven't seen the movie, DON'T!

I do, however, recommend the original bbc audio play that kicked the whole thing off.

The 1980s bbc television version is, also, amazing. Plus, everyone here loves Marvin. [and if there was anything more wrong than the rest of the movie, it was Marvin.] [Brits: the real Marvin appeared on Top of the Pops with his single "Paranoid Andriod". How could it named anything else?]

Both were writen by Douglas Adams. [i.e. the author] The movie was writen by idiots.

geeking out, book recommendations
