I figured... seeing as at least 3 people have read Hitch Hikers, we need a forum to agree that the third book is the funniest, and the best. For instance the flying lessons, "throw yourself at the ground and miss"
Anyways... Anyone have favorite quotes/parts of books ("the giant yellow ships hung in the air exactly the same way that bricks dont") -------------------- "It's probably not a good idea to be chewing on a toothpick if you're talking to the president, because what if he tells a funny joke and you laugh so hard you spit the toothpick out and it hits him in the face or something."

The Vogon poetry was great ("Oh freddled gruntbugglies, thy micturations are to me...") and the bit about towels... and the Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters... Oolon Coluphid's trilogy of philosophical blockbusters: "Where Percy Went Wrong, Some More of Percy's Greatest Mistakes, and Who Is This Percy Person Anyway? as well as Well, That About Wraps It Up For Percy. The Whole thing is brilliant, really.

Lol... percy.
I have to say, I like that one "conversation" between man and percy, no matter how sacreligious it is... percy (it just said percy didnt it?) : "I refuse to prove that I exist, for proof denies faith, and without faith, I am nothing" Man: "But, the Babelfish is a dead giveaway isnt it? It proves you exist, and so therefore you dont" G.o.d "Oh, I hadnt thought of that" (and G.o.d promptly vanished in a puff of logic) -------------------- "It's probably not a good idea to be chewing on a toothpick if you're talking to the president, because what if he tells a funny joke and you laugh so hard you spit the toothpick out and it hits him in the face or something."

Woo! another fan! You need to read the book too though, the storyline is completely different once they get on board the Heart of Gold (that cool space ship with Marvin and Zaphod)

I've read part of his autobiography...where he talks about his fanness of the Beatles...and how mad he was when his friend invited him to a show but he was sick and didn't go...and it turned out the Beatles were the suprise guests...and he whined about it for years. Man, he's great!
