I was in an anthro class (taught by our theatre director) and someone
asked me why i always had my towel with me. (I had draped it over my
shoulders like a shawl) since it was SO cold in the room. So, i started
to give "the standard answer" - a bit turned down. of course, i got quite
a few "blink blinks" (ie, he must be mad, 'tis true, 'tis pitty, 'tis pitty
'tis treu, kinda stuff).

So, the instructor (Dr. Riccio) said, "well, it's also good for keeping
from being eaten by the ravenous bug blatter beast of Traal" -- they gave
him the blink blink look, and someone asked, "So, you know what he's
talking about?" He replied (with more than a bit of dignity), "Of course,
it's from the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams".

way cool to find DNA-aware dna-based life forms on this beautiful,
small, blue-green planet.

Frank,

Drongo, it's great when that happens, isn't it.

First panel in today's Get Fuzzy.

For me, 5 hours of watching 200 ugly white people make their dance floor "fuck faces" and slobber on themselves to the beat of "Funky Cold Medina".

Question in the Times quiz on Monday:

"Which Douglas Adams character had a holistic detective agency?"

Four of the five people I was sat with got it right.

I like my friends.

yesterday I was sitting in my room reading and my feet were cold so I got up to find some socks and when I looked at the time it was 3:42pm.

Robin: Gee, Batman. Belgravia's such a small country. We'd beat them in a few hours.

Batman: Yes, and then we'd have to support them for years.

If I count all the way up to 41 and add just one more, I get 42.

when-ever things seem to be getting tense around me, i sey:

don't panic

(v. calmly) seems to help (even when i don't hae my towel with me.

nice to know.

********************** bonus track ******************

recently (see time-map) i've noticed that by "just" seying to myself

don;t panic

my whole "anxiety attack" thing goes down; ie, w/out even saying
somethng like: go stress your-self out, i;m off to milliways fr a gd gm of chsxxMate?
(even if it *is* thr !!).

And remember: for high-quality used decimal points that hae to pass pir
)our( rigid 2142-point inspection it's always gutta: Frank's Decimal Point Emporium!!!!
(mention this ad and get 21% of the above-sticker, quarter-release roll-over cost above the
centre-port line cost!!!!!)

For me? For decimal points? It's gotta be: Franks!

(fade to addr lay-over, and FDPE jingle).....

...(well, unless they hae their ducks wit 'em)...

Today I was walking home, and decided to visit a small flea-market on the way. Used book-section had the soft-cover version of Salmon of Doubt. Price very reasonable 3 euros. Well... I have the book already, so I didn't buy it.

I stepped out of the door, and there on the street walks the (locally) famous actor, who played narrator and the voice of the book in Finnish radio-version of Hitchhikers trilogy. He works on the local theatre now, so it wasn't such a big thing, seen him before. But the two incidents combined, it was a pretty nice DNA-moment.

Yeh, those "meaningful moments of synchronicity" as Jung refered to
it are always out there, but most of the time we're just too tuned out
of things to notice.

Of course carrying a towel all the time (other than being handy
for such things as placing it over the bag of cubed ice) and then
using a hammer to break up the cubes - if you don't use the
towel, the hammer, just cuts up the bag).

Anyway, i get about 2 or 3 comments a month about it that are
dna-related, many many hoopy froodz everywhere.

And of course, i *continually* see BUS #42 - which i've never
ridden, who knows maybe it stops at milliways.

I don't know if this has been pointed out already but Tom Baker's reign on Doctor Who was 41 stories. Had Shada, which was written by bopAd, been completed, it would've been 42.

There is a very funny and witty bloke nicknamed Douglas Adams posting on a couple of fora of supporters of Genoa cricket (!) and football club.
He posts very good jokes using mostly Arthur and Ford as characters.
But I do not know if this counts, because it's me.

I just got Civilization IV - Beyond the Sword, and this familiar quote filled the room, when I discovered the LASER:

Not bad how did you get the Laser in 720 AD? You must have been Rockin'.

Strict city-management, science and culture fixation, exploitation of opponents, lucky world with good resources and spending a gazillion hours from back in the Amiga days playing CIV, CIV II, Alpha Centauri, CIV III, CIV IV, CIV IV-Warlords, and now CIV IV-Beyond the Sword.
By the way - I was only playing "noble" in this game, so it wasn't that hard. Had it been at "deity" level, I would have had problems indeed.

And reloading the game when things go badly...

Hehe, I'm usually chuffed if I can get railroad by 1500 so the laser by 720 is mega micro management.

had my opening tonight (about 20 beings showed up) - had two stacks of cards - natch
42 each.

anyway, all soonest, etc. You just can't get better folk-adv-jazz than "Shaker Loops" by
John Adams (well, errr looks at feet) well without a duck!


and of course: please excuse me earth-entities - but, i know not of this "laser" of which
y0u speek...

- frank.

the froodship was way way cool - will sleep now (62 * 1.62 * 6 gives at 10-15?) erk
there goes another moon of ....

night all...

This made me think of the DAC... and the havoc you guys could cause...

They certainly seem to be on a different planet. I just bought Photoshop Elements for Mac and, while it is a very nice program in itself, it totally fails to conform to any Mac standards - it installs all sorts of crap (like your typical Windows prog) and runs full screen.

I am not pleased.

Thrith, I don't want to pry into your sex life, but does it really take marriage to revive the dead guy?

Dear Bob, perhaps that was a bit harsh. Sorry Thrith. I just couldn't resist.

It is nice to know my posts are appreciated now and then. Thanks.

No need to be sorry, Janette, we're talking about Thrith the Bigamist here. He's already married, although only God knows how he managed to convince that nice lady! Further proof that there is no God.
