You guys are foolishly insane to not know who Douglass Adams is. I offer pee for your rectal regions, and skeet into your mouf to dumb down the pain.

I won't leave home without my towel tomorrow.

[Flaccid Acid]

He wrote A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and it's four sequals.

He died before his time.


Oh and a towel is the most widly usefull thing in the universe.

[Alpha Rioja]

^ he doesn't know who douglas adams either

and cummings your defintions did nothing for me. If his claim to fame is the hitchhikers guid to the galaxy then indeed he has left behind a wanting legacy.

Soon to be forgotten THAT pathetic movie will be.

edit: haha didn't see your post there flaccid. don't know how I missed it. thankees for clarifying hahaha

[Cummings]

me thinks that you either did not think the movie lived upto your expectations, of that you hate the whole thing altogether. As for my definitions, googlism doesnt lie.

[koten]

Oh and a towel is the most widly usefull thing in the universe.Ohh... I should really get around to reading those...

it was originally a book, you fucking moron.

[WolfmanNCSU]

In honor of Adams.....


#include <stdio.h>

printf( "What you get if you multiply six by nine: %d\n", SIX * NINE );

}

Read the post and you'll realize I was talking about the movie exclusively.

[Ravster]

R.I.P Douglas Adams.

Surprised that Google haven't done anything with the 'Google'. Then again, they can't do everything can they.

[Harmony]

I knew who he was but seriously didn't know he had a day dedicated to him... Interesting...

[Tael]

What are we meant to do on Towel Day? Go outside and start eating towels? That would indeed be a spectacular sight.

[Ravster]

^No need to be an idiot about it!

According to the 'Towel Day' site you're suppose to:

Carry your towel with you throughout the day to show your participation and mourning.

[Alpha Rioja]

Mourn for a guy that his only contribution to society was some books that were made into a movie? How pathetic... :rollseyes:

[Ravster]

^Do you see yourself writing books and getting them made into movies?

To even write a book is one huge talent you know.

[Alpha Rioja]

@__@ we all have our hobbies in life i suppose... It still doesn't impress me. The guys who shot up Columbine got a movie made out of what they did. Does that make them better than everyone else? Nah, I say we each got our own hobbies. Why glorify one guys hobby over another's.

[Ravster]

^It may not impress you but he was regarded as a 'great literary mind'

Those other people that have those hobbies choose not to be known and therefore people of course are not going to commemorate their day.
If they're known. then fine, but if they're not then whose fault is that? Their own.

[Alpha Rioja]

He must not be that great. Many people never heard of him until the movie came out and even then I didn't know of him until today. Tolkien > Douglas Adams

[Flaccid Acid]

What the hell is wrong with you? Just because some people want to mourn the death of a great author, who books and ideas have been around longer than you have, and have been read and respected all over the world, whats the deal?
Just because you havn't heard of him doesn't mean others havn't. Every heard of 42? Look it up. Search Douglas Adams, or A hitchhikers guide, or towel, or so many things into google and see how many people apparently "don't" know about this guy.

[Alpha Rioja]

I pity people like you who get angry because people don't know about their childhood hero. And no I haven't heard of 42 either. I merely asked in the beginning who Douglas Adams was and all of a sudden I get blasted by a bunch of idiotic over zealous fanboys who make themselves look like idiots in their posts. I don't intend on researching a guy who 5 years from now is going to be forgotten just like every other fad before him. I just asked a question. Now calm down child.

[Flaccid Acid]

I merely asked in the beginning who Douglas Adams was

Mourn for a guy that his only contribution to society was some books that were made into a movie? How pathetic... :rollseyes:

Oh yeah, you merely asked, more like insulted him and anyone who knew of him. Yes I'm sure that in 5 years no one will no about this so called "fad". Just like how no one will know what the hell Starwars is and no one will every play another Led Zepplin album again, no one will bother with "Lord of the Rings", and Hamlet and the Mona Lisa will be unheard of.

Not that I'm comparing Douglas Adams to the greatest works of art in the last few centuries, but to pass it off as a passing fad is just stupid.

[WolfmanNCSU]

Do a Google search....

Search for..."the answer to life, the universe, and everything"

[Alpha Rioja]

*sigh*...

All those other names you put out are things I have heard about since I knew how to understand what was being told to me. Douglas Adam's until yesterday I had never heard of. You bring about a rather uncanny reply. Once again i don't see your point. Obviously you like the books. Much like the little furby fans I see you running around proclaiming the god like quality of this author. And much like the furby i see this fad dying quickly. Time will answer both our questions...

But the fact that you religiously whine that he is a great work of art in the making is absurd. Contrary to your beliefs not everyone knows or cares who Douglas Adam's was or what he did. Much like me. I take my leave of this thread because it's fanboys are acting very gay.
