Young Zaphod??? i've never heard of this one. Is it out in Oz, yet? Cos I haven't seen it around anywhere or even heard of it a part from here...

ArwenEvenstar · 05-10-2003, 11:52 AM

young zaphod plays it safe is dumb! its funny at the start though with all the lobsters.

Katt_knome_hobbit · 05-10-2003, 11:19 PM

I liked it. But I didn't fully comprehend it until I heard it on tape.

ArwenEvenstar · 05-11-2003, 10:05 AM

i'd get it on tape, 'cept i dont think my library has it

Katt_knome_hobbit · 05-11-2003, 05:02 PM

You need to get "The Salmon of Doubt" on tape. It's on there.

Do you know how many times it took me reading Dirk Gentley's to finally understand it all?

cassiopeia · 05-11-2003, 09:28 PM

I finally read A Salmon of Doubt. I really wished he finished it, it was starting to get interesting. The essays were good as well, I particularily agreed with his views on religion.

Katt_knome_hobbit · 05-12-2003, 01:47 PM

I know! He was a genious!

Ornelírë Mistë · 05-16-2003, 11:00 PM

My friend is in some one-act play of the Guide. He's Zaphod!! I don't know what they're going to do about the second head and third arm.

Katt_knome_hobbit · 06-01-2003, 06:18 PM

If you saw the BBC version, the extra head was paper machee. They made it sleep the whole time.

i've only ever read the first book, but i'm borrowing the other books from ArwenEvenstar soon, and where's my babble fish

ArwenEvenstar · 06-13-2003, 10:33 PM

LutraMage · 06-14-2003, 06:23 AM

I sure felt sorry for the whale

(and the flower pot)!

The whole series is full of fantastic nuggets.

Katt_knome_hobbit · 07-13-2003, 06:20 PM

I didn't feel sorry for the flower pot. Well maybe a little. The whole cosmos is making a joke on him.

And the whale was just too stupid. "And what's this thing comming twards me very very fast. It need a big wide name. Like round, grr round, ground! That's it! Ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me?"

And the rest, after a sudden wet thud, was silence.

Be sure that he took so little hurt from the evil, and escaped in the end, because he began his ownership of the Ring so, with Pity." "Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends." "Very well,' he answered aloud, lowering his sword. 'But still I am afraid. And yet, as you see, I will not touch the creature. For now that I see him, I do pity him."
