I never could satisfactorily explain what a 'Hrung' was, nor why it chose to collapse on Betelguese 7.

Go to the original. It started life as a radio series, and that's still the best version.

I envy your fresh approach to this fantasticness.

Currently re-reading one of his lesser known books, The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul. Great book.

Ooh, when you finish DG, go read Last Chance to See.

The Dirk Gently series is truly terrific, and often overlooked. It might be heresy, but I think I like them *slightly* better than H2G2.

The ships hung in the sky in much the same way bricks don't.

One of my favorite lines, just for the way it exemplifies Adams' writing style
misturchips
Gold bricks wrapped with lemon?
IconicM
No, getting hit in the head with one of those is what a pan galactic gargle blaster feels like.
misturchips
Yup. I think there are more brick references, too, bu tit's been a while since I read all 6 books of the trilogy...
IconicM
Same here, might be about time to correct that!

I think I should throw myself at the ground, NOT miss, then spend the time in the hospital reading...

To clarify, 1st book + series are "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" by Douglas Adams. "Restaurant At The End Of The Universe" is book 2.

No! This is from the restautant at the end of the universe, not hitchhikers guide. Dammit

Some Vogon poetry is needed here.

Vogon poetry is NEVER needed. ANYWHERE!

Vogon poetry is never _needed_...

Always upvote the late Douglas Adams... At least 42 times.

Make it an odd number, so that you finish it off with an upvote.

Such a great man, even in death he inspired me. Inspired me to never jog again.

There is a syndrome called koro, in which the afflicted believes his penis is disappearing
scarecrowe94
mine does that sometimes, then comes back, then disappears again, then comes back, then disappears again then comes back
IcommentMostlyWithGifs
And after a while does it shrivel up as well ? If so you have a bad case of the humps.
NoSeriouslyAskMeAnything
Apparently I know a few korophiliacs, then?
TheSkeletonWar
Why is he late? Was he running too slow?
SkeuomorphicallyInclined
A publisher once said of Adams that He enjoyed deadlines. He enjoyed the whooshing sound they made as they went by.
o11c
No, he died from exercising, so more likely he was running too fast.

"What's so unpleasant about being drunk?" "Ask a glass of water."

You disgust me, making such jokes. You have sunken to *gasp* their level! Did someone pour oil on you?!? (I tried ;/)
StGinger
Holy shit. I always listened to the radio shows. Having read it in text format for the first time, I finally get that joke. Almost ten years
rGreenTrees
Hahaha, yes! Glad it clicked
hackller
i can't get this one. this joke has me stumped.
almostsomething182
Drunk is also past tense drink, which is how it is used here. Not inebriated.
Fadedsun
Dad joke level 1000.
rGreenTrees
It's over 9000!
IanStirling
actual level is 42
IAlwaysCommentWoosh
Woosh. Hijacking comment with good intent: H2G2 has an online text adventure written by Adams. It's on BBC's website. Go. Go now. Go!
SketchyImgurObserver
Goddamnit. I love this book. Doesn't matter how many times you read it. It's always funny.

Essential book to pass down
BroDudeManGuy
Please, allow me to laugh with you. What's the name of this book?

Best. Fucking. Book. Ever. Every time you read it, you understand it a little more and you catch parts you never saw before.

English isn't everyone's first language and wordplay is hard.
InfamousGerbil
Will you explain it to me, please?
Koquillon
Drunk = intoxicated, or drunk = past of "drink". You can be drunk, you can drink a glass of water.
MattTheWanderer
When you are drinking water it is being drunk. So in this case being drunk would be having all the liquid sucked out of you.
pingue
15 years! It's been 15 years since I first heard h2g2, and only now do I get that joke. Thank you!
