#Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy

Considering that DND had only existed for a few years when Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy was first released, it's remarkable how much it reads like a DND campaign. Like every choice feels like someone rolled dice to make it.

"Okay, let me see if I understand you, right, You want to ask the councilman to take Arthur's place in the mud?"

"Yes. Ford will try and use persuasion to get him to lay in the mud."

"On the councilman... who is intent on destroying Arthur's house... you want to ask him to lay in the mud... for Arthur... in front of bulldozers?"

*Ford's player nods*

"Okay roll."

"Nat 20."

"OH MY-"

QOTD: What one thing would you want everyone in the world to know?

Flying is just falling when you fall to hit the ground

Like Ford Prefect, I do quite like humans, but also remain desperately worried about the number of things most of them don't know about.

Happy 60th Birthday to BBC 2 or BBC TWO. Whichever.

I have to stop looking on the waterstone app because I keep getting excited about books and I want them but I need to prioritise poe and dostoyevsky and maybe lovecraft

The idea of fjords being moé makes Slartibartfast from Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy so much funnier.

favorite oceanic geographic feature?

Norway's Fjords are so moé... all coastlines are fractal, but man... these crinkly little guys are so hard to measure...

I've always wondered if the sheer crinkly messy dividing line between ocean and river is why Norwegian calls lakes "inner seas". Norwegian seeing a lake like "damn that's more ocean and shit".

HAPPY TOWEL DAY!

Do you know where your towel is?

Here's just one example why you should always have your towel.

"A rather large creature that likes to eat things.

The Ravenous Bugblatter Beast is so mind-bogglingly stupid that it thinks that if you can't see it, it can't see you. Therefore, the best defense against a Bugblatter Beast is to wrap a towel around your head."

What do you get if you multiply 6 by 9?

I left it to late too go out today. And there they were. The DFLs had all crawled out of the woodwork for the weekend. It really breaks my heart… all the fake, posey, people pretending that they live in some hip village rather than, a blighted, poverty stricken town on the south coast. I walked down one road where I used to by my groceries where you now have to dodge past a bunch of Parisian…

On Sotah 42b, no less!

This reminds me of Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide (one of the later books) about a highly civilized race that decided to get rid of their 'useless third' populace, which included these thankless job workers. Most notably, telephone sanitizers.

They live a utopian paradise afterward, until a virus wipes out the entire race, spread by an unsanitized telephone.

Moral of the story; no one is useless. We need these people, desperately. Pay them better. Listen to them. Thank them.

Maids, cleaners, janitors, and sanitation workers are all the most important people of civilization by far. Even 12 hours without them is VERY noticable and they simply need to be highly compensated for it

I have a handbag made to look like a copy of Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven. And I love that it looks like a book. But I also love the way it frequently reminds me of another book. People say things like "Oh, I thought your bag was a book," or, "Did you know your handbag looks like a book?" And I always think of Ford Prefect and his theories on why humans always state the obvious.

Memories

Changing Paths challenge day 29—memories. One of my earliest memories is looking up at the constellation of Orion. I’ve always loved it. This amazing photo of Orion is from NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day. In the early days of the internet I used to visit this site every day. I should get back into the habit! The significance of this memory is that looking up at the stars makes you realize…
