ok, I realise I've used a Hollywood-centric filler word in that subject, but Mr Adams was a wordsmith, not me.
The radio play, books, BBC series all used clever humour. Perhaps the scriptwriters can get a grip on that after one piss-poor attempt has seen light of day?
I worked in a library for 9 years, it's funny what people steal. The Mason's steal all of the books revealing their secret rites, the Scientologists do something similar to the books on cults.

I scrolled down on that link and read that the B-Boys' new single is to "feature" on the OC.

You nasty, brutal, (but) realistic bastard.
You have managed to capture the essence of everything that I can't stand about myself.

I'd much rather a policy based on spankings. 3 strikes just sounds painful.
