grabbingsand, if UWS linked it, it's definitely gonna be worth the download.

Frisbee Girl, I'm with you 100%.

Well, it's a bit tongue-in-cheek and a little hard to understand sometimes (Bittlegoose, anyone?), but weighing in at around 8 hours, it is something of a revelation.

I'm tucking into Chapter 1 and loving it. Oddly intriguing and wonderful.

Beyond Good and Evil might have been a better choice:

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

Pretty much sums up my feelings about 419 Eater. People this clever should have better things to do than petty vigilantism. But, yeah, that is pretty funny on the face of it.

To be clear, Skwirl, are you trying to shame me for enjoying the audio experience of listening to a unique voice read HHGTTG?
