Hitchhiker's Guide
I really laugh out loud when I read stuff like Zaphod tried to see what his other head was looking at, but it was nothing in particular. :wah:

Dear Marvin was humming ironically because he despised humans. How does one hum ironically? :-3 I'd like to learn
And I love Adams' attempts to reduce stress and nervous tension by revealing certain important facts in advance and leaving us with a wee bit of mystery which is of no significance whatsoever.
Betty and Acc, do you have a favourite character yet? Or do you find yourself identifying with someone in particular?

I'm a patient person

Theia, my entire mental picture of you needs radical overhaul.

When flower power came along I stood for Human Rights, marched around for peace and freedom, had some nooky every night - we took it serious.

Cripes, spot, did I really post that? What a difference 5 years make...I've grown rapidly older, grumpier and lost any semblance of wit or humour
Time for a radical overhaul of self

One of my favourite bits is right at the start:
"The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't."
I love Vogon poetry.
"Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits
On a lurgid bee
That mordiously hath bitled out
Its earted jurtles
Into a rancid festering
Now the jurpling slayjid agrocrustles
Are slurping hagrilly up the axlegrurts
And living glupules frart and slipulate
Like jowling meated liverslime "
I think we may yet achieve normality. Watch out for penguins!

Pammie, you could have written HGTTG. Well, you couldn't have because Douglas Adams did, but if he hadn't, you could have :-6

That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me Theia.... I think... grin.

"No," he said, "look, it's very, very simple ... all I want ... is a cup of tea. You are going to make one for me. Keep quiet and listen." And he sat.
He told the Nutri-Matic about India, he told it about China, he told it about Ceylon. He told it about broad leaves drying in the sun. He told it about silver teapots. He told it about summer afternoons on the lawn. He told it about putting in the milk before the tea so it wouldn't get scalded. He even told it (briefly) about the history of the East India Company.
"So that's it, is it?" said the Nutri-Matic when he had finished.
"Yes," said Arthur, "that is what I want."
"You want the taste of dried leaves in boiled water?"
"Er, yes. With milk."
"Squirted out of a cow?"
"Well, in a manner of speaking I suppose ..."

Douglas Adams was a genius. I wish he was still around.
