So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all but oh dear

You may not share our intellect
Which might explain your disrespect
For all the natural wonders that grow (around you)
So long so long and thanks for all the fish

The world’s about to be destroyed
There’s no point getting all annoyed
Lie back and let the world dissolve (around you)

Despite those nets of tuna fleetes
We thought most of you were sweet
Especially tiny tots and your pregnant women

So long so long, so long so long, so long so long, so long so long
So long so long, so long so long, so long so long, so long so long
So long so long and thanks for all the fish

If I had just one last wish
I would like a tasty fish
If we could just change one thing
We would all have learnt to sing

Come one and all
Man and mammal
Side by side in life's great gene pool

So long so long, so long so long, so long so long, so long so long
So long so long, so long so long, so long so long, so long so long
So long so long and thanks for all the fish

Oh yes this is my proud boast.

Well, ok then - what really happened was...

...I lined up at a bookstore with all of my Douglas Adams books and got him to autograph them.

When I got to the front of the line, he would only do one book, so I had to line up 8 times in total to get them all done.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18395773 Fri, 25 May 2007 17:02:20 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18394596 Gizmo : :D

IT Manager asks "What's the answer to life, the universe and everything?" Without missing a beat I said "42!". His jaw dropped, then he told HR Director "He'll fit in fine." to which the HR Director just looked confused. I got the job :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18394307 Fri, 25 May 2007 12:16:00 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18393139 usa2k : I liked his "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency".

At one point he hits the back of a car - storms out and says "I hope you have a good lawyer", to be greeted by "I am a good lawyer"

The BBC broadcasts are far better than the movie "Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy". The radio broadcasts script in print - also equally great. I was disappointed by the movie. :hmm:

Did not know he passed away!

We had a Commodore 64, and had spent a long time trying to step on the Babel fish, eat the Babel fish, throw it, etc. It was one of the more memorable of the real early computer games.

Sad that often the best and brightest amoung us leave too early, like Jerry Garcia and Adams. I never laughed so hard in my life until I read his writing, I read his stuff at one of the most depressing periods of my life and his work was huge therapy for me. I hope I get to meet him one day at the end of the Galaxy...

We watched the movie last year, got to scene showing the big implosion of Earth, and our youngest son's reaction still makes us laugh today. He sat up with eyes wide as saucers saying, "Those poor sheep!"
