Mostly Harmless
Ooops! That's five.
π
Is Mostly Harmless written by the same author?
share
Yes. They were all written by Douglas Adams. He was a literary genius imho.
The five books were all part of the "increasingly ill named Hitchhikers trilogy", as Douglas Adams described them. They are undoubtedly the finest humorous Sci-Fi "trilogy" in history.
π
I am in full agreement.

Then you sir, are obviously a gentleman and a scholar.
π
I truly appreciate those compliments. But, um, you don't really know me, do ya? lol ;)
π
Man do I fake it!!
share
Ummmm............okay then.
π³
I'm sorry. Allow me to make amends...
Thank you so much for your recognition, sir. It truly takes one to know one.
Please let your little guy have his shades back...
Didn't you think it was a bit odd that I was trying to make friends with a car?
share
Wait.....what......Huh?
π³
Mos Def was awesome, was he not?!
share
He, like the movie, was just okay. Still wondering about your car remark.
π
That's one of Ford's lines from the movie.
share
Mmmm. Don't remember that line. What was it in reference to?
π
They were talking about the first time they met. Ford was standing in the street with a bouquet of flowers trying to shake hands with an oncoming car! Ha!
Arthur had to tackle him out of the street so he wouldn't get rundown. Funny stuff π
Hmmmm. Don't remember that scene.
π
I believe that they were sitting in the pub. Arthur was struggling to finish the six (?) pints Ford ordered for him. I think.
The barman asked if they should all lie down and put bags over their heads (WTF?).
Okay then.
π
The WTF wasn't about you. Looking back it kinda looks that way.
Nah it was for the barman asking about the bag over the head.
Maybe it's a UK thing?
Sorry if it seemed that way lol π
These last few posts it sure looks like I've been trying real hard to cram my leg in my throat! π―
I knew you were referring to the barman. That was my rather cryptic way of saying
I don't remember that remark. It's all good. I enjoyed the movie even though I've forgotten some of the details.

PS Oops! I see by my cool digital watch that it's time for lunch!
