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

"Are you taking the p**s?"
- Mark Radcliffe when his band The Family Mahone was called back for a second encore.

"I'm not a grockle" from West Country car bumper stickers. Must persuade my Dad to get one actually.

"Its a hundred and 6 miles to Chicahgo. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, its dark and we're wearing Sun Glasses."

"Hit it"

Some of Murphy's Laws (Must be a few articles on H2G2 with them on)

1. Do look important. It draws fire. (Expansion on this rule, Aircraft Carriers = Bomb magnets)

2. Do not Draw fire, it irrates the people around you.

3. Never stand when you can sit, never sit when you can lie down and never stay awake when you can sleep (What I have lived my life like).

4. If the attack is going well, its a trap.

5. The enemy diverson you are ignoring, is their main thrust.

A quote I read, on refering to why a Sargeant received 3 Purples hearts.

"I got them for being stupid. Look at it this way. ALL that space, and I got to be in the same place as a itty, widdy, liddle bullet"

I believe that is a derivitave of the Mark Twain quote: "A man is a fool who will walk when he can stand, stand when he can sit, and sit when he can lie down"

Good one strider. I like "The problem with people is they don't care. So I don't care about people."

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned * THE * Dirty Harry line



This is a 47 Magnum, the most powerful hand gun in the world, it'll blow your head clean off. The question you've gotta ask yourself is: Do I feel lucky - well do ya, punk?

I think you're confusing threads now. If you were going to start quoting songs, it ought to have been here, whereas religious stuff is on the other thread. *Rolls eyes*

"Out from the marsh, from the foot of misty
Hills and bogs, bearing God's hatred,
Grendel came, hoping to kill..."
from the epic poem Beowulf, trans. by Burton Raffel

"No-one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that human affairs were being watched from the timeless whirls of space. No-one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinised as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets and yet, across the gulf of space minds immeasurbaly superior to ours regarded this earth with envious eyes and slowly, and surely, they drew their plans against us."
