If you don't stop that, I'll have to resort to reading Vogon poetry to you.
And you know what they say about Vogon poetry...
Quote:
Vogon poetry is of course, the third worst in the universe.
The second worst is that of the Asgoths of Crea. During a recitation by their poetmaster Grunthos the Flatulent of his poem "Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in my Armpit One Midsummer Morning" four of his audience died of internal haemorrhaging and the president of the mid-galactic Arts Knobbling Council survived only by gnawing one of his own legs off.
Grunthos was reported to have been "disappointed" by the poem's reception, and was about to embark on a reading of his 12-book epic entitled "My Favourite Bathtime Gurgles" when his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save humanity, leapt straight up through his neck and throttled his brain.
The very worst poetry of all perished along with its creator, Paul Neil Milne Johnstone of Redbridge, in the destruction of the planet Earth. Vogon poetry is mild by comparison.
No, anything but that. Just put me in the airlock. I'll take my chances on the infinitely improbability of running into the Heart of Gold. I just hope the have a really hot cup of tea in the drive! https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gifQuote:

Que'st que c'est? SEP? :confused:Quote:

The primary example of this was given in the third book Life, the Universe and Everything, when a UFO (A spaceship powered by the Bistromatic drive owned by the fictional character Slartibartfast) landed in the middle of a cricket ground during a match, and the assembled crowd failed to notice it.Quote:

Oof Dah! My bad! It has been too many years since I enjoyed Mr Adams writings. Time to dust them off and enjoy them again! Darn shame he is no longer with us!Quote:
