I tend to think if I’m thinking this then I must be but am I? One of those questions for the hitchhikers

But, you must admit that he did actually turn out to be from a different planet.

A very surprised-looking sperm whale?

Never go back for your bag

reddingweddy · 03/03/2023 19:23

And please enjoy your trip through this door

FadedRed · 03/03/2023 19:56

6 pints of beer and a packet of salted peanuts, please.

brain the size of a planet and they ask me to make tea.

Sometimes go back for your bag…

I've always wanted to try a pangalactic gargle blaster. We'll never know the recipe now - Douglas Adams is sadly missed.

Just remember, the last thing you need is a sense of proportion.

NeverDropYourMooncup · 03/03/2023 20:16

This is all rather unpleasantly like being drunk.

DoNotGetADog · 03/03/2023 20:19

This thread is the worst….and all the other threads ….they’re the worst too…

PierrotTheClown · 03/03/2023 20:19

It’s alright if you like that sort of thing and I don’t.

It’s not nice being drunk, you ask a glass of water.

But we do. It's in chapter 2.

• Take the juice from one bottle of the Ol' Janx Spirit.
• Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V -- Oh, that Santraginean water... Oh, those Santraginean fish!
• Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzine is lost).
• Allow four liters of Fallian marsh gas to bubble through it, in memory of all those happy hikers who have died of pleasure in the Marshes of Fallia.
• Over the back of a silver spoon float a measure of Qualactin Hypermint extract, redolent of all the heady odors of the dark Qualactin Zones, subtle, sweet, and mystic.
• Drop in the tooth of an Algolian Suntiger. Watch it dissolve, spreading the fires of the Algolian Suns deep into the heart of the drink.
• Sprinkle Zamphour.
• Add an olive.
• Drink... but... very carefully..

(Though I'll admit it doesn't help with the wanting to try it issue ;-) )

Life. Don't talk to me about life.

CandyLeBonBon · 03/03/2023 20:29

You can't argue with ineffability.

Oh wait. Sorry.

Wrong book.
