i recommended Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency to my philosophy professor.
Ooh! Ooh! I used the passage about Mark Knopfler from SLATFATF (making guitars hoot and sing like angels on a Saturday night, something to that effect) on my art teacher (a major MK/Dire Straits fan) to convince him to read DNA!
mrgreen And also, I've given two people so far the entire trilogy for Christmas.
And also, I lent my DVD of the TV show to my... er, friend-with-benefits (a nicer way of putting it) who drives a cab, and he lost it cause he left it somewhere stupid - the back seat of his cab.
crying So now he owes me a new one.
sweatdrop But...and this is the seriously twisted part... I sincerely hope that whoever stole the DVD is enjoying it, and feel somewhat satsified at spreading the conspiracy.
3nodding And...I'm not at all following the format that
I myself set up. But isn't that what Douglas Adams is all about?
mrgreen YKYR/W/LTTMHHGG/DNAW...
...(the three listed above)
...you know Ford's towel (which he borrowed from Arthur) has little pink and blue flowers on it (at least in the text adventure).
...you
came up with this idea. And that acronym. Hoo boy.
rolleyes ...you are
totally concerned with the plight of the
kakapos now. (They're just so
cute! heart )
You've become a fan of a random webcomic (or two) for having
one HHGG reference (the now-defunct American Bachelors with Mecha(s), The Pantheon, prolly some more I can't think of right now...)
...you find it hard to believe that Douglas Adams never met George Harrison, because they both knew the Monty Python guys and Douglas was a really big Beatles fan and they'd have gotten along great and can't believe George never read
any of Douglas's books? ...and you actually think this much about this sort of thing.
...you only became a fan after Douglas's death, because you felt guilty you hadn't known HHGG was a
trilogy so you went out and bought all five books - but if you had the chance to go back and save Douglas and let him finish Salmon of Doubt and write many more books, you would, even though your life would change completely and you'd be a completely different person. But I'm sure you'd come back to DNA eventually, right? Right? ...surely with the movie and all?
...your tolerance for Elvis has increased due to Ford Prefect (weeeell, and that "Little More Conversation" remix a while back, but mostly Ford.
whee ).
...every time you draw Ford you draw 'im in blue suede shoes, 'cause they're totally froody.
whee ...you're considering getting a job at a movie theater sometime in the next three months with no experience and no driver's license, because the theater employees get promotional t-shirts for some movies, and guess which May-release movie you want a t-shirt for?
...you "tag" (graffiti) not with your name, but with the hoopy "42".
...if you've ever taken a towel to school on, say, March 11. Or maybe May 11
crying .
...if, hell, you've ever taken a towel to school at all ever.
...you often mention to your friends that 9/10s of the human mind is penguins.
...you love penguins. Like, you collect penguin pajamas.
heart ...you draw parallels between HHGG and other, completely unrelated series - like, "Gee, Largo and Piro got a sort of Ford/Arthur dynamic going on - I mean, Largo's got red hair, acts crazy, Piro's kinduva loser..." (though to be fair, that realization was prompted by someone's "Ping the Paranoid Android" sig. "Brain the size of a planet and they ask me to sweep the floor..."
xd . Although
Sarah tributed DNA's death (dunno 'bout Fred. He was out at the time)...)
...you have your own, unique sound that you make, inspired by Agrajag's "HhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrraaaaaaHHHHHH!!!"
...ditto, and you can't wait to hear how DNA did it in the radio series where he played that part.
...ditto, and you're shocked that I spelled "HhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrraaaaaaHHHHHH!!!" right, because you actuallyl know how to spell it.
sweatdrop ...one of your favorite bits of wisdom is "Never throw the letter Q into a privet bush."
...you scour the internet for HHGG fansites, fanart, fanfiction (espec--er,
even slash
sweatdrop ), personality quizzes, cute little pixel thingies (like so

) - anything!
...you've actually worked out that you can't spell "what do you get when you multiply six by nine" with one Scrabble set, and sumrise that either Arthur made spares because the not-cavemen kept losing tiles, or he just didn't know much about Scrabble.
...the song "Wonderful World" didn't
used to make you cry, but after that last episode of the HHGG TV series... well...
cry ...AltaVista was at one time your favorite search engine, expressly because of Babelfish.
...you now wonder what the hell fairy cake is, and want to eat some...
...you know that "Lilo and Stitch" cartoon series they got on the Disney Channel where they go around getting all the experiments, turning 'em good, naming them, and finding the one true place they belong? If you think 625, the one who likes to make sandwiches, should be named Arthur, then... YKYR/W/LTTMHHGG/DNA.
mrgreen ...once again, all done by me.
w00t, 14G post.
