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

How such a perfectly balanced creature as yourself NOt read Terry Pratchett !!!!! Please do so this instant !

ummm cant really do so this minute as do not have any of his books at hand. hope to do so soon. what other books do you read? what do you think bout the fountainhead? hope u dont like it. cause if u do. and u like terry pratchett, then it is highly unlikely that i will like TP.

C'est Merde. Pratchett.... Imagine The Lord of the Rings meets Monty Python, via The Goodies, written by P G Woodehouse. Stylish, entertaining humour, with more laughs per page than anepisode of the Office, but using a fine story as the frame work.

ooh me thinks i will like! it sounds tres fabulous! but iv forgotten wat 'merde' means...enlighten me plis...have u read the poem chanson d'automne by paul verlaine? i love it its so 'Whoa!'and sad...but brill!

Les sanglots longs
Des violons
De l'automne
Blessent mon coeur
D'une langueur
Monotone.

Tout suffocant
Et blême, quand
Sonne l'heure,
Je me souviens
Des jours anciens
Et je pleure;

Et je m'en vais
Au vent mauvais
Qui m'emporte
Deçà, delà
Pareil à la
Feuille morte.

The long sobs
Of The violins
Of the fall
Injure my heart
OF A Monotonous languor.

All suffocating one
And pale,
when Rings the hour,

I remember
old days
And I cry;

And I leave
For The bad wind
That takes me
on this side, beyond
Similar to
the dead Leaf.

C'est Magnifique ! Bravo ! Merde. en Angleterre, est.... Poo.

thanku. you like that wolfy moony smiley dontcha? hmmm...i think ma fave is

Morning, Patti !

Have some

Jack

thanka will do...
want some ?

Pour me a big one. Busy day. How are you, my little cheese and onion crisp ?

hey sorry bout late reply ...am on vacation took a while to locate a computer...anyway i found a book by terry pratchett - jingo! loved it!have u read it?...theres this char called vimes who i love!
are the same chars in other books will find out soon enuf when i read nother one...later. how r u?

Cool ! the first of the tales to involve Sam Vimes is called Guards! Guards!- wait till you see it !

i read thief of time ...very kewl am now lovin lu tze and susan...susan is cute ...who'r ur fave chars?

Captain Carrot Ironfoundersson, who I resemble, Vimes for the attitude, and the assassins guild, as we have similar backgrounds. I love the Patrician- whenever I think of him, I seem to hear John Cleese...!

hey
am now reading the truth ...hav not progressed much but am enjoying the bursar very much hes cookoo but so cuute!

Have been re-reading the watch stories; GUARDS, GUARDS ! MEN-AT-ARMS, FEET OF CLAY, JINGO, THE FIFTH ELEPHANT, and the best of the lot, NIGHTWATCH. It has a bigger budget, larger cast, and better special effects - you know what i mean by now... It's a movie in your head !

hehe
iv read that one! its the one where vimes goes back in time and meets yenger self!! right?? i like his wife...good character! and the butler...and theres the whole vetinari story!

If they were films, who do you see as the characters ? you can have anybody at all,past,present, whatever, as long as they fit the part. I see the Patrician as John Cleese !

omg!looverly question and am finding the answers are eluding me at this moment...this is horrendous i have no answers!!...ummm...see heres the thing it always works better when i blend people together in my mind for example susan in my mind is like a younger michelle pfeiffer all mixed up with ingrid bergman and tara reid!...

How about Nobby Nobbs..... how about CGI, like gollum ?

funnie!! ...ooh question am switching abruptly but when u read the hitchhikers guide whod u imagine arthur dent to be? n if uve seen the movie do try to imagine that u havent...
