Oh Belgium!

OK Stink -- I may have it.

Seems you are using the Americanized version which would lead me to think something was awry.

The world is coming to an end because:

1. Oh Belgium   {expletive}
2. The Dolphins are leaving
3. You will need your towel if you are picked up by a passing spaceship.


And through it all I feel like an ugly bag of mostly water.

Welcome to the forum, toddtar.  I think you have a better handle on this than I do.

The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy is five book trilogy. Originally started as a BBC Radio series.
toddtar, gets it!

Was the Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy a book before it was a text based game for the early computers? hmm

I had the first game years ago. Seems it was on my Tandy Trash 80 -2000 complete with a 10 megabyte hard drive and
5 1/4 floppies.

Radio series first, then a play, then a book, then game, then a TV series, and then a movie.

Didn't John C get it first?  I never understood the connection as to why this was such a hit with my programmer buddies.  Maybe because of Deep Thought?

-f-

[MountainDon]

book, 1979, which was adapted from a radio series

42 was Deep Thought's ultimate answer after 7.5 million years.

Y'all know where the "Ugly bag of mostly water" comes from?

A few other oddities on a night when I can't seem to get to sleep.

Zooey Deschanel who plays Trillian in the movie is a very good singer. She will be in the role of Janis Joplin in an upcoming movie. If any of you are fans of the TV show "Bones", the character Bones is played by Zooey's sister Emily. I've got a bit of trouble imagining Trillian as Joplin .... guess that's why they call it acting. 

[StinkerBell]

I know the movie was a snap shot of the books. It had its funny spots, but some good stuff was lost by cutting it into a single movie.

Just my 37cents worth (yes, use to me two cents worth but I adjusted for inflation).

That and $4.50 will buy you a cup of coffee at Starbucks, Stink.
