WotEver Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 17 minutes ago, Tumshie said: What, the worst poetry in the galaxy? Vogon poetry is in fact, the third worst in the universe. The second worst is that of the Azgoths of Kria. During a recitation by their poet master Grunthos the Flatulent of his poem "Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning" four of his audience died of internal haemorrhaging and the president of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council survived by gnawing one of his own legs off. Grunthos was reported to have been "disappointed" by the poem's reception, and was about to embark on a reading of his 12-book epic entitled "My Favourite Bathtime Gurgles" when his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save humanity, leapt straight up through his neck and throttled his brain. The very worst poetry of all perished along with its creator, Paul Neil Milne Johnstone of Redbridge, in the destruction of the planet Earth. Vogon poetry is mild by comparison.

No, "The Earth" was the computer constructed to run the most complex computer program ever written, to calculate what the actual ultimate question of life, the universe and everything really is, the question to which the answer is 42, Shirley. It ran for 40,000 years or some such period, then the instant it was about to print out out The Ultimate Question, You Know, The Ultimate Question Of Life, The Universe And Everything, the Vogons demolished it in order to construct their intersellar bypass.

Oh that's good we're all still here then - but I was still right to worry about the "mostly" harmless, it was the mostly that got us. I Will have a reread. I have a list of books on my KOBO that may last me till the next century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, or rather one of the problems, for there are many, a sizeable proportion of which are continually clogging up the civil, commercial, and criminal courts in all areas of the Galaxy, and especially, where possible, the more corrupt ones, this. The previous sentence makes sense. That is not the problem. This is: Change. Read it through again and you'll get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes, And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles, Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts With my blurglecruncheon, see if I don't!" When I get my nice new boat I now know where to look for her name - Crinkly Bindlewrdles, Drangle Hiooptious, or possibly Grabbleblotchits. Maybe not Gruntbuggle though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
