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

Just thought i would say hello and then say a bit about your intro.
The book this site is about is the hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy(a sci-fi book)you say you are a doctor*who wants to do things to numb the readers brains have you ever watch any sci-fi the doctor is always the bad guy with the hunch back called igor.

Anyway the other thing i was going to say was i was talking with a doctor last week at work (I work at a football ground he is the match doctor) as he got out of his car i said i think there waiting for you inside there is a bit of an emergence,have you ever operated on a brass monkey before.**well it was snowing.

As for the work in i was stuck in a job i hated and i tell you now it is better to work for nothing in a job you like then earn more in a job you hate.

*I have nothing agaist doctors there like any other normal psychopaths
**Do you know the saying about Brass monkeys?

Hi TIMELORD,

I don't know the saying about brass monkeys, so tell. Also, yes, I have a medical degree. I am not a physician. My ex-wife is a physician. I'm on sabbatical from the Coroner's Office. I slipped a few gears, working in the Morgue lab in NY this last fall, and they said to take some time off.

I don't hate my job. I'm good at it, and until now, the last twenty-two years, found it fit me, and I fit it real well. I'm a fussy, finicky sorta guy, who's just right for forensic pathology, which is fussy and finicky work. But matching DNA from hairbrushes to... well you know what there was left in the rubble... like I say, I slipped some gears.

Most doctors are just like other psychopaths. The rest are much worse.

See ya later,

Quincy

I can't imagine what it must have been like this last few month,HELL I DON'T EVEN WANT TO TRY.Take your time you will never be able to forget it but there will come a time when you can cope with it better.
Nothing like this as ever happend before and we all hope nothing like it will ever happen again.

The saying about brass monkeys is an old one it dates back to when pawn shops would tie 3 brass balls out side there shop to show what they were(like Barbers would have a red and white pole)in very cold weather the leather would snap hence the saying "IT'S COLD ENOUGH TO FREEZE THE BALLS OF A BRASS MONKEY"

Oh, ok.

No. Don't try to imagine it. It wasn't at all a good thing. The world has changed forever, and I can't say as I think it's for the better .

Now, as I remember it, Igor was the ASSISTANT to the mad . Marty Feldman made a great Igor (pronounced "Eye-gor", and Dr Frankenstein [Carl Reiner] insisted on the German "Fronkenshteen") though I'm darned if I can remember the name of the movie. Madeline Kahn as the Bride of the Monster... you know which one I mean, right?

Kiddo, I've been reading science-fiction since the 1960s. Maybe even the late '50s. I wouldn't be here if I didn't think this was a good place for a guy who slipped a couple gears.

So where's some fun stuff? Drop me a link.

"Young Frankenstein", written/directed by Mel Brooks, and it was a young Gene Wilder as Frankenstein...

H.

Yeah! Thank you. This is my brain on formaldehyde, clearly... oy gevalt. Gene Wilder, and that genius Mel Brooks. One of my favorite running jokes ever in a movie is the Yiddish-speaking Indians in Blazing Saddles. What a crack-up!



I feel better. Thanks for reminding me. It's been only maybe 15 years or so since I saw the movie... or more, but I should have remembered that.

How's the back holding (you) up?
