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

I think this list significantly improves on the one in "The Sound of Music".

I love all of these things, but not necessarily in this order:

Dogs. Ale. Cigarettes. Rock music. Philosophy. Westerns. Literature. Showers. Girls. The internet. Cheese and wine. Blues. Gangster films. Rivers. Badminton. Reggae. The ridiculousness of sex.

I agree it's an improvement

I guess mine would be PSG, ale, mountains, music, the internet, books in general, cake, badminton, archery, roast dinners, doodling, tea, cheese and socks

Whats PSG?

strong tea, baileys, curry, snugglin in bed when its really dark and windy outside, G-forces delighted smiles at something interesting, food for thought, space, wilderness.

The bf, he's a hootooer and that's the name he goes by.

I should have put down being cosey in bed when it's wild outside too

amatures ... That's all I have to say on the matter. ya' left out scuba diving, making love in an airplane, rock climbing, yep, I ain't sayin' a word.

I have to say that 'whiskers on kittens' (from the original Sound of Music song) actually works for me.

A few of my other favourite things:

- a fine
- gorgeous food
- lying in the arms of my heart's desire
- long walks
- talking
- reading
- writing
- sunrise (especially with blackbirds singing)
- the indescribable deep blue the sky turns here just before the sun totally sets
- the sound of ocean waves and waterfalls
- intense thunder storms (when I am warm and dry indoors)
- the sound of a cat purring

Well, I could go on, but I won't. Hey, RK, thanks for helping me remember just how many things make life worth living.

Nobody mentioned goats.

Looks like goats are not the thing, (as it were)

Mine would be, Peace and quiet, good company, an empty road and a tank of petrol, the internet,and strong tea
Smudger,

Tatoos and body piercings!~~~~~~
...*a note flutters to the ground like a feather on a windless day...it reads: I'M
*STILL* NOT "SAYING" ANYTHING!

Ah! Not fair
You have to share your favourite things or it doesnt count as a postSorry..........Try again..............
Smudger,

Can we add *laughing with friends* and *having discussions with s* to the lists?

(dogs dont talk back and argue, or tell you you're wrong)

<>

However, cats do! And I find this is *why* I quite enjoy having discussions with mine.

Whomever posted RE dogs never had a doberman!
There's a favorite thing! A dog you run out of things to teach!
And two out of my three cats fetch!

no its true, I've only had an old english and my BF has a spaniel. However, my mother had two siamese cats, which were highly evil. I have a cat myself now, but he doesnt go for arugments. I'm not worth it

One of my cats fetches too - olives are a particular favourite. Then when he gets tired of playing he eats it.

Years ago (when I was young) we had a cat that would chase the "torch light" every time I went out to the shed for coal

It would go mad trying to catch it
Years later, when the cat was14 years old!! I came home after being away for years, I went out with the torch, and the cat Still chased the light
Smudger,

My cat Brandy use to jump into my arms upon command. Then one day when he was really fat I dropped him! For years he refused to jump for me.
Then just before he died he did it! ...*whispers...*he 'bout broke my back

And what do you mean you're not "worth it"?!?! Thems fightin' words!
If your cat won't argue with you I volunteer! You go first.

Oooh, i feel a cheesebox idea approaching.........
