h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

...and let's not forget Richie Havens' covers!

Hati, I believe the Mumis are translated to all the major languages in the western world (including my own). Thank you for the information. Here are in return.

(Don't drink 'em all at once, though - or this might become the longest thread ever )



PS: Thanx for the , Peta! Any chance we get a posting in The s Bookf of World Records also?

*starts with the 1st *
A nice espresso is almost as good as a lightning.

I'll continue with the 2nd . Hatifnat, would you like some or ? I feel I need something that's really sweet and absolutely not healthy.

Try this, Jeremy:

Always. I'll take both and if you don't mind. I am a natural born chocoholic and I could sell my grandma for the cake.

*pours some coffee into Jeremys mouth*
I was not too hot, I swear!

whae'z moy ?

*pokes into Jeremys mouth*
I don't like so much. Imagine what happens if your mouth is not big enough. Who will do the cleaning?

Ahem, maybe, let's say, how about Mr. Bill Gates? (not the first time for him , hehehehee)

And thanks for the . Maybe the well known Munich comedian Karl Valentin was right when he said in one of his sketches (sorry for translation mistakes): "My husband isn't really fond of . He prefers a and a ."

On the other hand, with all this BSE (Mad Cow Disase) thing going on today, it's best to eat nothing and to starve. At least you die healthy . Sometimes I'm really afraid for our kids. It's their world that we live in, after all, not ours.

Is there anything left which doesn't damage health? My bet is "no". So we have to put pigs into instead of cows or maybe chickens. And I still prefer and to and .
Children... A friend of mine told me once (when I was pregnant) that having children is totally irresponsible. I think I don't give up. I hope that they can make world a better place or ... if they fail, they'll have to hitchhike somewhere else.

"Yo dudes, just back to the jungle, any chance of a heineken or ten?"

We have an excellent choice of German beers in the fridge right now. There should be some left (I've lost Pierce the out of sight, however. I hope he's not sitting in the fridge, freezing his butt off, or if worse comes to worst, drinking all of the beer!)

Here, have some .

hullo again!! i am disappointed that the drinking competition is over, ahwell.

2 things, i am not fond of covers unless the same emotion is there, eg 'i can't live, if living is without you' is a supreme song, but mariah carey's sickly sweet dire version is atrotous (sp).
and you can eat beef as long as its good quality stuff, so avoid Mcdonalds and .

Ed of , I agree with you. Most cover versions are just a lame rip off. There are some exceptions. One CD that comes to my mind is CD called 'Tribute to Carole King'. I suppose you have heard of Carole King, who was and still is one of the great ladies of songwriting (I remember the famous 'Diva Night' in MTV or VH1, when the had invited all the pop and soul divas, like Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Gloria Estevan, Aretha Franklin, ..., and as a special guest Mrs. Carole King. Every single one ofe them tried to 'outsing' the others, except for Carole King. She just played the piano and sang her tune 'You've got a friend'. The other singers were reduced to mere background voices, no matter how hard they tried, by the sheer presence of Mrs. King).

On of the big albums of Carole King is called 'Tapestry'. There has been a remake of this album with various artists (Rod Stewart, Celine Dion, and others) recording one original song each.

It's an excellent album, really worth listening to, with some marvellous arranging work done, but it hasn't quite the original's class. It is a very honoring tribute, however.

If I'm not mistaken, McDonald's "hamburger meat" is really mostly soy anyway. It's all the nasty frying and microwaving that makes it so dangerous.... Maybe we should follow the key to healthy hitchiking and just live off and . And of course !

Make that . Oh and did I ever tell any of you that I make a breath taking flan?

"I'll stick to Heineken, years of research has led me to the conclusion that you can't go far wrong with a diet rich in Heineken, besides I've got shares in the company."

"Nearly forgot, Jeremy, totally concur, Carole King was, is, too cool and Tapestry rates way up there."

THINKS-Am I showing my age too much? Perhaps not, as the Red Hot Chili Peppers were my favourite listen in Koh Samui.

I also vote for Carole King. Age? Rubbish. Hand me my Zimmer frame, young'un
