ost_uid0]Very close.As a boy in school, a young J.R.R. did not enjoy studying Shakespeare. He felt that the Dunsinane-traveling-forest thing was a cheap letdown (I'm paraphrasing) and preferred that the trees be able to march to war. I'll give out the cookies anyway.  ~Nan[/color ost_uid0]

ost_uid0]It wouldn't happen to be referring to [iost_uid0]The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy[/iost_uid0], would it? That was the first thing that occurred to me. Well, actually the second thing; the first was a Clouseau-esque scene where the bumbling hero bumbles and unwittingly KO's a hidden attacker by doing so.[/colorost_uid0]
