Some of my favorite quotes so far from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ... you're in for a few laughs:
"You know," Arthur said, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young."
"Why, what did she tell you?"
"Why, what did she tell you?"
"I don't know, I didn't listen."
"Yes," said Arthur, "we'd be mad, all things considered, to think this was Southend."
"Well, do you think this is Southend?"
"Oh yes."
"So do I."
"Therefore we must be mad."
"Nice day for it."
"Yes," said a passing maniac.
"Who was that?" asked Arthur.
"Who--the man with five heads and the elderberry bush full of kippers?"
"Yes."
"I don't know. Just someone."
"Ah."
"Ford, you're turning into a penguin. Stop it."
...
Ford waddled around his pond in a furious circle.
"Hey, who are you?" he quacked. "Where are you? What's going on and is there any way of stopping it?"
"Please relax," said the voice pleasantly, like a stewardess in an airliner with only one wing and two engines, one of which is on fire, "you are perfectly safe."
"But that's not the point!" raged Ford. "The point is that I am now a perfectly safe penguin, and my colleague here is rapidly running out of limbs!"
"It's all right, I've got them back now...Admittedly," said Arthur, "they're longer than I usually like them, but..."
All of the amazing ones were taken by other blogs... teehee :) But here's one I just HAVE to put in anyway...
"Ford!" he said, "there's an infinite number of monkeys outside who want to talk to us about this script for Hamlet they've worked out."
These may seem strange, but that just means you must read the book! ;)
Now here you may post your suggestions for things to discuss... Also, you may notice a bit of a change of scenery... yes I have changed my blog template, because I felt that this provides a more interesting place for us to share ideas :-)
