Love that first book. The others are good too, but no other book has given me so great a laugh as that. Thanks for sharing!

How anyone can drink bitters is beyond me.

How anyone can drink bitters is beyond me.

It helps to think of it as medicine... doesn't taste nice but can do you the world of good.

My towel is under my bum, as my office chair is a broken down piece of 5 day-old Bantha poo doo. Cheers to Douglas Adams, an inspiration to us all, and cheers to Svrt for bringing this momentous day to our attention. May we always have no idea where we are going, but that the number 42 will be the eternal answer to our questions.
