Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - 2 Hs, 2 Gs. The best acronyms are the ones that take several extra steps to explain.

Shouldn't it be H3G2? Hitchhiker has 3 Hs, not 2.

If your ":/" is an actual unhappiness, I'm sorry; I meant this to be bone dry humor and not criticism.

More likely sadness that Douglas Adams is dead. That causes me actual unhappiness.

I learned a few good lessons from him. Most apropo one nowadays is "The man who least wants to lead is the only one fit to do so."

(Hitch) + (Hiker) + (Guide) + (Galaxy) = H2G2

What kind of sociopath would include the "h" at the end of Hitch in that acronym? That's some real honest-to-god serial killer prediction behaviour right there, sir.

Why take a shortcut when you can go the long way around?
