Comment on The Highest Point in the Netherlandsparent

Comments

Tell me you're from the US without etc.

It's a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Which, funnily enough, is of British origin instead of American.

Bit of an odd comment overall. The fact that I know that the highest point in the Netherlands is in the Caribbean pretty much demonstrates that I'm not from the US.

It is, isn't it? Maybe there was a reason? :)

To make up for my tone (which wasn't intended to be snarky but without the missing fact probably came across as such), did you know Douglas once described the experience of trying to get Hitch-hikers made into a film as "like trying to cook a steak by having a succession of people come into the room and breathe on it" which is a description I treasure!

I know. Guess which country had "fuck" and which country had "Belgium" in the Rory's description.
