Argh.. I know I've read that, but I can't for the life of me remember where it's from.

Although it reads like Adams hardcore, although I don't think it's from one of his books... Is it?

chicafrom3 July 31 2007, 07:15:56 UTC

It does sound like DNA, doesn't it? :D

But, no. It's not Adams. Possibly the writer was Adams-influenced, but then, really, who isn't?

Indeed. ^__^

So it really was The Phantom Tollbooth? It hit me today at work that was where that passage was from. XD Random.

It was The Phantom Tollbooth! Milo talking to a nuisance on his way to rescue Rhyme and Reason from the Castle in the Air.

...see? I'm a total dork. :P

Magic Tollbooth?

chicafrom3 July 31 2007, 07:16:33 UTC

Close. One word off (it's 'Phantom', not 'Magic'). So, um. Five points! :D

longlongwaytogo July 31 2007, 07:18:08 UTC

I knew that was looking wrong.
Not too bad since I haven't read it since I was about 13 though is it! :D

chicafrom3 July 31 2007, 07:19:24 UTC

I think it's pretty damn good! :D

Ten Points!

*dances happily*

Never read it. . . . but chrisnelson1977 July 31 2007, 16:09:53 UTC

What you said sound like what goes through my head half the time. lol Constant battle over which side will maintain control and which side will cower in fear or withdraw from battle and retreat. DUALITY SUCKS MAJOR DICK AND i HATE IT!!

I've actually never heard of The Phantom Tollbooth before, but the above certainly made laugh! And your quotes at the side made me smile. I tried quote hunting once... I found about three and then gave up, LOL.

You interest me, so if you don't mind, I think I'll friend you :-)

chicafrom3 August 2 2007, 22:17:29 UTC

Friend away! :) And I can definitely recommend The Phantom Tollbooth, if you like kidlit and surrealism at all.
