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

...who are you then?

Is Sal Paradise an anagram?

Will there be prizes for guessing correctly?

Well, except for right at this very moment, I'm one of the 114 researchers currently online... that should help you narrow it down a bit!

Sal Paradise is the narrator in Jack Kerouac's very fine book "On the Road"

Prizes? Hmm... If I had my way, I'd offer you something useful like the abolotion of alab****r, but sadly I don't have the power

Sal Paradise - On The Road of course, how could I have missed it.

So no useful clues then. Other than you are unlikely to be a member of the (very) small tribe that makes up the Alabaster Fanclub

No idea, but you seemed to manage it anyway

Hmm... I'm not an entirely unknown researcher. I've never actually spoken to you as far as I can remember, though I've seen you around and posted in a few of the same conversations.

And no, I'm not a member of that fan club, but that probably only drops out about 2 of the 114 people anyway

On the Road was really good I take it you like it too!

I won't do my ACEy thing here, if you've been here before, but if you do need help, then I'm here!

Yeah, I did! It was recommended to me by a friend (U198365), and I'm disappointed that I could only read it once! I'll have to get my own copy

Not only have I been here before, I'm still here...

Ok so you are likely to be one of the following people

???

Actually, if you look closely, I'm certain to be two of them

Based upon the theory that you were signed in as the real you just prior to post as your new you. You must be one of the following

Blazing Dark
fat Kelli
Gnomon
HappyDude
Hati
King Cthulhu of Balwyniti
Lady Scott
loup.dargent
SAMARKAND
Spaceman Spiff

Based upon further detection work, I conclude that you are probably an Australian, which would make you King Cthulhu of Balwyniti

Who? Never 'eard of 'im

Sssh

You expended entirely too much effort on that methinks

I still haven't done anything interesting with this account, mind you...

I'd noticed

so...why did you choose to call yourself sp? I know that its from teh book, [weird book!] but why not...[thinks] Gandalf or something?

Well then how would s/he differentiate themselves from the 40 or so other people arounf here who call themselves Gandalf


BTW is 'Gandalf' a Lord of The Rings reference?

So tis, was just wondering why he chose sal paradise specifically...
