today is better then yesterday. thank you for understanding.

The Following might give away parts of the movie The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If you're planning on seeing it, I suggest you skip everything that is the color red. Thank you.


so, the hichhiker's guide movie. Why was is so awful? well, it just was. It was about 1/185th as funny as the book, they added a love story between authur and trillian, they cut out some of the best parts(like, Ford was trying to get authur to go to the pub, and instead of getting Prosser to lie in front of the bulldozer, he just gave all the workers alchohl. Tell me this. If he had a shopping cart full of booze, why did they need to go to the pub? why not just get drunk in the driveway then?), and Zaphod had 2 faces, not two heads. Although they insisted on calling them 2 heads throughout the intire movie. They were definatlly not two heads. Bah. It was awful. I thought it would be. Because as awesome as the book is, anyone who has read it would know that making it into a 1/2 decent movie would be next to impossible.

and now, a message from dave barry:

Q: According to alert reader Mary Ann van Hartesveldt, what was the exact wording on a sign she saw outside the Ridgecrest Baptist Church in Opelika, Ala.?

A: It was: ARE YOU READY TO MEET JESUS? Bar-B-Q Saturday, March 16, 2 p.m.

and annother:

Q: Please repeat what you heard a woman say recently to the cashier at a gas station.

A: She said: ''Do you have any of those cheap genetic cigarettes?''

and one more:

TIP FOR PROFESSIONAL WRITERS: In writing a novel, be sure to include Character Development.

WRONG: ''Brad gazed into Marsha's eyes.''

RIGHT: ''Brad gazed into Marsha's eyes and noticed that she now had three of them.'

thank you, and have a great evening.
