This will certainly require "Deep Thought".  I'll be back in 7.5 million years with an answer.  In the meantime, stop using harsh language. This is a family forum!

Then it could be horses. Sort of reminds me of a girlfriend I once had.  Not the one I ended up marring. Does that tell you anything.

theres just that single word that is soo offensive it can only be used to describe the country of belgium, that world being belgium.  In fact, except from serious screen play I don't think it is supposed to be used at all in civilized galaxies.  I believe in the Hitchhikers series he took the F** word out and replaced it literally with Belgium, then did some play on words to make the dialog odd enough to be funny in a few parts. 

Douglas Adam aside, belgium has it seriously going on when it comes to good beer.  From the Witbeer like Hoegaarden and Blanche de Bruges and Neiges, to the trappists and dubbels and trippels, great stuff like Rochefort, Chimay, Duvel, Leffe, Orval, then there's the lambics and krieks.  belgium is my beer heaven and on my list of must see places before I die..

You've got to be kidding. German Beer is by far the best. For some reason this thread reminded me of benny hill.  d*

germans have good heffezeizens, and lagers..  hell 2 of my favs (franziskanera and ayinger) are german.  but I dont think it can compete with the monastary beer brewing monks of belgium history.

I'm still lost, Stink.  Got a bit about HHG to the G. -- started the game when it first came out in text, but am lost now.  Are you sorry for me? [crz]

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!

Post by: glenn kangiser on April 19, 2008, 10:34:14 PM
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?

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.

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.
