Because the trip had been long and quiet, he stops the car and the Navajo man climbs in.During their small talk, the Navajo man glances surreptitiously at a brown bag on the front seat between them."If you're wondering what's in the bag," offers the salesman, "it's a bottle of wine. I got it for my wife."T

It was late August, and I was speeding up I-5 to my cabin in northern California. There in the high country nestled among redwoods, with a commanding view of Mt. Shasta, was my little piece of paradise. I had left smoggy LA before dawn, intent on a week of quiet reflection, before the rigors of teaching commanded all my energy. I was cruising along in my 4x4 pickup, with some Grateful Dead CD's to mellow out the miles.I pulled off above Sacramento for a bite and some gas, very pleased that it was just early afternoon. As I approached the on ramp to the freeway, I saw a hitchhiker standing with a large backpack propped against his thigh. I had become leery of picking up anybody, with all that was going on, but I thought back a few years ago when I had such difficulty thumbing rides, and I s
Chronic pain is so very inconvenient. It is so limiting and restricting, like a belt worn unnecessarily tight.Pain effects one's sleep, one's ability to exercise. It can curtail the enjoyment of sex, and even the most burgeoning appetite. It restricts one's activities, precludes some activities altogether, and can be a demoralizing agent whose influence cannot always be ignored.Pain is like a hitchhiker who has worn out his welcome but cannot be extricated from the passenger seat. Perhaps his first appearance was not overly worrisome, and he exited peacefully when requested to do so. Maybe he was even helpful that time you had an emotional flat tire and needed an excuse to rest. But months later, thoroughly ensconced in the back seat, wearing an iPod, drinking a Coke and ignoring your ever
Item:A Vogon head used in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"(2005). Vogon's are the very unpleasant aliens featured in the movie and book. The movie was good, but simply could not do justice to the hilarity that is Douglas Adams book series.Auction ends:Feb-20-08 17:14:08 PST Auction link:Vogon Head
From a November 1st, 1959 copy of the Des Moines Register comes today’s scanner love, an ad for “The Hitch-Hiker”, a child’s car seat of dubious safety protocol but many handy features. From the ad, this seat is intended for children 6 months to 6 years old and “…makes your [...]
I was going through the weigh station outside of Knoxville, Tennessee one night, when another driver got on the horn, looking for a south- bound. He had a hiker heading to New Orleans, and he was going to Denver. I was going to Jackson, and agreed to take the hiker that far. We stopped and he got in my truck. Brown curly hair swept across his face, and his body was firm and compact. He was 18 years old and this had been his first time away from home. He was anxious to get home, and I was anxious to drop my load. I was pushing hard when he said he needed a piss stop. Told him no way, and handed him the Gatorade bottle I keep behind my seat. "What's this for?" "Whip it out, jam it in the bottleneck, and cut loose.""You're kidding." "Nope. Either that or stick it out the window." He opened his zipper, dug around inside, and proceeded to UNROLL his cock. Even in the dim light from the dashboard, I could see one helluva long piece of meat, thick with pulsing veins. He stuck it in the bott

I love the Douglas Adams’s book (the 5-part trilogy). It was not easy to read, but it was hilarious. The twisted logic, the irony and the wild imagination in every story of the book - so funny. And yes, Earth does get destroyed (Don’t Panic!) by the Vogon demolition fleet - to make way for a new hyperspace [...]

Creo que esta será la peor reseña que podrás encontrar en internet sobre La Guía del Viajero Intergaláctico, una de las películas más creativas que he visto los últimos días (creo que la anterior fue “La Ciencia del Sueño” de Gondry). No tan sólo los personajes son “fumados” sino que también la situción y las decenas de detalles que sólo se aprecian al verla por segunda vez.
En pocas lineas, trata de como una persona común debe irse de su hogar debido a desastrosas circunstancias, encontrando gracias a este infortunio el necesario impulso para comenzar la búsqueda de su propia felicidad a la que nunca tuvo el valor de encontrar.
¿por qué es tan creativa? Bueno, resulta que Arthur Dent (Martin Freeman) debe desalojar su casa porque van a cosntruir un viaducto justo po

I’ve been doing some occasional moonlighting over at HitchHiker’s Guide to the Blogosphere; a site where little known blogs are reviewed and get to have their day in the sun. Steve Sherlock, the site owner, reminded me that it’s HitchHiker’s 2nd birthday today. So Happy Birthday HitchHiker! Long live The Long Tail!
I don't like DVDs.More specifically, I don't like all the extras that come with them.I mean - imagine you've just seen the most amazing mind-blowing film of your entire life. You've just lived in this other world, you've just been this other person, you've fought the odds, felt the feelings, laughed, cried and found a new way of living. And then the closing credits roll and you sit there actually missing the characters that you've spent the past couple of hours with.What's the first thing you do?That's right - watch it all again, only with the director and actors pointing out all the mistakes.(sigh…)I suppose it's a bit like watching a magic trick and then immediately being shown how it was done. "Oh but I like to know how tricks are done,†people will protest, people who have no magic in their lives.Anyway, at a loose end tonight I found flatmate Dave's DVD copy of the TV series The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy and decided not to watch it.I mean
Darwin explained how beneficial traits accumulate in natural populations, but how do costly traits evolve? In the past, two theories have addressed this problem.The theory of hitchhiking suggests that genes that confer a cost to their bearer can become common in natural populations when they "hitch a ride" with fitter genes that are being favored by natural selection. Conversely, the theory of kin selection suggests that costly traits can be favored if they lead to benefits for relatives of the bearer, who also carry the gene."Animal traits are not always independent. For example, people with blond hair are more likely to have blue eyes," explains Andy Gardner (Oxford University). "This is a nuisance for natural selection, which could not, for instance, favor blond hair without also indirectly favoring blue eyes, and this is the idea of genetic hitchhiking."Kin selection is similar, but here the genetic associations are between different individuals: "If I have a gene that makes me mor
