Ouch.

Dickie		2003-11-03 04:00:30 AM

Who won?

Red Space Dragon		2003-11-03 04:04:24 AM

The curious thing is that two days ago, I wouldn't have gotten the connection, Five days ago, I wouldn't even know the word "Vogon".

Curious, how, once you become aware of something, you start seeing it everywhere...

I am a dumbass.

fortybasic		2003-11-03 04:08:00 AM

Fortunately, this is Somebody Elses Problem.

just when you think the day is a total loss, someone makes a DNA reference everything seems right with the world again...

I somehow feel a little less duntish now!

baby dinosaurs		2003-11-03 04:16:29 AM

fortybasic		2003-11-03 04:17:47 AM

...i guess that's cool

Douglas Adams humor in real life. Gotta love hilarity on the expense of dead people.

Curmudgeon		2003-11-03 04:26:54 AM

I heard they died after their livers jumped up into their skulls and throttled their brains. This was immediately after a reading of Vogon poetry.

spiderland		2003-11-03 04:28:43 AM

So long, and thanks for all of the religous hatred.

N10sityr		2003-11-03 04:43:16 AM

is Jiminy Cricket still the champion of all crickets?

neotek		2003-11-03 04:51:59 AM

rip dna :/

echo		2003-11-03 04:52:21 AM

I can't believe anyone was actually awake during a Cricket match to argue about something. Instant cure for insomnia, just flip on a test match.

meepmeep		2003-11-03 04:58:01 AM

I am a dumbass.

Heyyy that's cool. A new filter! Thanks fortybasic! 42?

trapped-in-CH		2003-11-03 05:13:38 AM

Oh freddled gruntbuggly thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.
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!

mortong		2003-11-03 05:15:52 AM

We're such a backwards species - who else would style a game after the worst war in the history of the universe? It's no wonder we're shunned by the other inhabitants.

mortong		2003-11-03 05:17:06 AM

42?

I thought it was only legal to kill other people over soccer matches.

BiZ		2003-11-03 05:30:17 AM

And yet strangely enough, no one gives a poop.

(About all of your self proclaimed asshat status's, or anything else in this post for that matter...)

Grape Wit		2003-11-03 05:36:39 AM

I am a dumbass.

Hey look! There's a place on Fark you can go and test out the nifty filters
:)

Ashta		2003-11-03 05:56:09 AM

Wow, lots of dumbasses on this thread...

Slack3r78		2003-11-03 06:01:58 AM

No, no, no. Only the English would be capable of turning the worst war in the history of the galaxy into a game. Quite distasteful, even if Slartibartfast finds it relatively amusing. :-P

MythRender		2003-11-03 06:11:44 AM

I am one cool frood who knows where my towel is.

Wow...look what happens when you type in "What do you get when you multiply six by nine?"

And did you all know that the word "gullible" isn't in the Encyclopedia Galactica??

rm-rf		2003-11-03 06:15:43 AM

I say old chap, that just isn't cricket.

Saturnalia		2003-11-03 06:20:24 AM

WHOP!

iLEZ		2003-11-03 06:28:15 AM

Any word on the Ashes that symbolise the death of English cricket?

TheOther		2003-11-03 06:40:57 AM

I am a dumbass.

tasloi16		2003-11-03 06:45:53 AM

42 thats all you need to know

God--		2003-11-03 06:57:44 AM

If they had just played cricket in the fjords, life would have been more peaceful..

Farkeologist		2003-11-03 07:37:46 AM

Someone beat me too it, but:

WHOP!

aurorous		2003-11-03 08:12:49 AM

ImShocked		2003-11-03 08:22:38 AM

"It is not true that the English invented cricket as a way of making all other human endeavors look interesting and lively; that was merely an unintended side effect. I don't wish to denigrate a sport that is enjoyed by millions, some of them awake and facing the right way, but it is an odd game. It is the only sport that incorporates meal breaks. It is the only sport that shares its name with an insect. It is the only sport in which the spectators burn as many calories than the players - more if they are moderately restless. It is the only competitive activity of any type, other than perhaps baking, in which you can dress in white from head to toe and be as clean at the end of the day as you were at the beginning." - Bill Bryson, In A Sunburned Country

PootieTang		2003-11-03 09:03:09 AM

That DNA reference made my day. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!

the HHGTTG refrences are cool, but you got to be an ultra nerd to get them.

Ok, Computer.....
