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

actually what drew me here was that you mentioned you were a midwesterner in unc's fan club, and i wondered what part of the midwest you were in.

then i got here and was compelled by your search for a non-alcoholic pan galactic. my first thought was 'surely that would be sacrelige!', but embarked on a quest anyway thinking that i had seen something about a non-alcoholic version just the other day. as it turns out i *did* see something like that the other day, it was the title to *your* page which came up in my search for pan-galactics

feeling rather silly i decided i wasn't going to leave you a message until i had something constructive to offer, so i've come up with this:

if you do a search for 'pan galactic gargle blaster' in the h2g2 search engine it returns a few dozen pages devoted to our drink. most of them are variations on different alcoholic recipes with ingredients from every family of alcoholic beverage imaginable, and some inert ingredients as well. there's quite a comprehensive collection to be found here A518762 and as many of them are just various ways of randomly mixing every type of alcohol known to man, then perhaps to make a non-alcoholic version you could simply go thru and pick out the non-alcoholic ingredients and mix all of them together in a glass.

unfortunately this isn't likely to have the same effect as the real thing, which i assure you is worth the wait until your 21st birthday. i mean, you might as well finish having fun being a teen-ager before you go searching for new and inventive ways to forget it all, right?

anyway, i was just curious where you were, that's all

oh, yes, and could you pat me on the head as well? ta!

broe

Oh, how informational of you! that's definitely head-pat worthy *ahem* *rolls up sleeves* head pat for...YOU! HUZZAH! (that's the official head-pat war cry) HUZZAHHH!!!!!

I'll hold off on the pan-galactics till I'm legal good idea, cuz I'm enjoying my teenage years now..even if they are in the mid-west (a.k.a. Nebraska, to be more specific)

DZ

there is, indeed, much to be enjoyed in the midwest. i spent a number (read that: all) of my teenage years there as well... come to think of it i'm still there!

actually i'm just a bit southeast of you in missouri. i remember growing up with a lot of people who couldn't wait to graduate school and move to somewhere else that wasn't missouri. i love to travel, and i've visited many very cool places, but none that i would enjoy living in as much as i do where i'm at. (yet another of my sentences that made absolutely no sense to anyone but me ).

i was wondering, had you seen this? A595163

and thanks for the head-pat

*yawn* yes...it's all corn corn corn...corn and cows. It's not so bad, tho. I enjoy living in a small town with little crime it's an ok atmosphere
