Ah, well if you're comparing him to me I'd have to say he's in good company.


Man, that's over the top ego even for me!

I've always meant to read those books, just never have, now I feel I must.

Very, very, very dry humor.

But firing Rocket Number 9 AWESOME humor. I use "42" as my answer to everything. Though I've modified it to 42 1/2 for some odd reason. But then again, I'm odd.

Awesoome is an understatement. I am just starting my third or fourth reread of So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish tonight in preparation for the new book.

Anybody get the Lonen CS willing to part with one bottle? Got caught up in Fringe and forgot to order in time.

Teach me to try for Last Wooter .....

Not me, I was doing everything in my power to NOT order. I haven't even gone in on the Boss Monster yet. Stupid trip to California.

Well, I'll have one for you if you want ....


And man, I hate the news .... Bomb making in Child Care .... student attack at UCLA by another student (and they couldn't find a non-asian student to talk to??)

And a Moon attack at 4:30am (PT) ... not getting up for that ..

There was a very important 'yet' in my post about the Boss Monster. I have every intention of getting it, but have not quite wrestled away the desire for the full case. Thanks for the offer.

Cool story about the moon.

I have the "More than complete Hitchhiker's Guide" sitting on my desk within easy reach for when I need a perspective break. The guy was a genius.

Wow. That is so word-for-word something I would say. "It hates me" is one of my catch phrases around here.

Stop doing that. You're scaring me.

But then it's not the answer anymore. The answer is 42. We know this. Not 41. Not 42 1/2. 42.

Why must we attack the moon. Why can't we just let it be? Is it not enough that it has been attacked by space stuff so much already? It is our neighbor. Why must we hate on it so?

Seven is my go to answer for everything. Pisses my wife off something fierce (like oh I dunno, a wolverine, a vole, or a syphilitic duck [how does syphilitic make it into spell check but not woot?]) The fact that 7 goes into 42, 6 times means one of three things:

1) Nothing
2) I'm possessed by the ghost of this Douglas Adams, only he's really really lazy
3) 7 and 42 did not have a second date

Yet Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize for putting down the aggressive Moonies with their bhomicidal lesbian terrorists ....

And I'm glad I didn't stay up to watch.

Did El Jefe give a reason for the delay?

MarkDaSpark wrote:Did El Jefe give a reason for the delay?

...they haven't been released to the public yet.

That's all.

It's not a delay, they just haven't been released yet. I was under the assumption that all three were being released at the same time, but that assumption was never confirmed by anyone, and it was wrong. Totally my misunderstanding.

One must not forget the "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency".
Just read it and had to reread immediately.

Actually they had problems with chickens in their bungholes.

Vonnegut. I need to read more of him. I've only read 2 or 3 of his books.

Well he never made a deadline so you might be on to something there.

Thank you. I wondered if anyone picked up on that.

I read a lot of his books in high school. Time to re-read.

Hitchhiker first, since I never finished the series.

I think it's on the Twisted Oak blog somewhere, pretty prominently, actually.

Especially now that you will be able to actually finish the series.

I have read Slaughterhouse 5, Cat's Cradle, and Catch-22 (I think). They have been my (re)read list for quite a while, but something else always comes along and they get shoved to the wayside.

That one was courtesy of El Jefe himself in the invite to one of his shindigs.
