+kayakman9760 Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I know this sounds stupid, but I feel a strange sense of accomplishment just because I just read all 5 pages. Once when I was young(er) I made the mistake of telling a coleague of mine "I never read fiction, life is too short." My friend tried to explain to me the benefits of lighthearted reading (I was into biographies and history and stuff) and described a delightful book called, you guessed it, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." There was one quote she told me about from the original book; "I was just walking along, minding my own business, when I was struck in the back of the head by a cocktail party." (probably not a precise quote, twice removed and remembered over 20-plus years). It was several years later when I purchased a large leatherbound volume containing the original 4 (ir was it 5) books of the Hitchhiker trilogy and I was hooked on good whimsical fiction from that moment forward. Having discovered geocaching a little less than a year ago, and having discovered this HGTTG link tonight, I will soon be sending some sort of Doug Adam-inspired whimsy into the cacheverse myself. You ain't seen the last of me here. - Kayakman9760 Quote Link to comment

+Dragonpearl Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Snoogans,Hi. I'd love to make a wormhole for Veet Voojagig's Ballpoint Planet - let me know your instructions .... Hey, Yours would be Veet Voojagig's Ballpoint Planet: Wormhole #2 and then your (state). Wormhole #1 is in California and maintained by my sister, MtnFrog, when I'm not there. You can use as much, or little, of the text as you want. Huntnlady did a version called The 9 to 5 Pen Exchange, where you had to solve a puzzle. She just archived it today. It would be cool to have at least one in all 50 states and some other countries. So all it takes is to hide a cache that connects to your wormhole? Quote Link to comment

Wormhole #4, or whichever # comes next, when you decide to do it. If you do a key word search in the "Find a cache" section, you can look at the original and the other 3 wormholes. Feel free to use as much, or little, of my text as you want. Sn gans Edited April 9, 2004 by Snoogans Quote Link to comment

I have as part of the BUG TB's mission to visit some of the more frequent posters to this thread. One goal reached! Now, where to? Snoogans, if I drop this bug off in San Diego, do you have some friends in the area that can maybe help it along towards you? I can't believe this thread has made five pages and no-ones brought up a concept cache or TB for Eccentrica Galumbits (*chuckles*) That's because we were waiting for YOU to come and join the thread!

Snoogans, if I drop this bug off in San Diego, do you have some friends in the area that can maybe help it along towards you? I'll be on the West coast in July. All it needs to do is get closer to. Mammoth, Yosemite, Monterey, or S.F. I'll get it if I can. Sn gans Quote Link to comment

You know, with you gone and me being busy with my event, I forgot all about placing my Salmon of Doubt cache. Now I'm planning on moving in a few months, so I can't get any caches approved anyway Quote Link to comment

+MissJenn Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Wahoo!! Thanks to freespace69 and alancurry, my towel has made it all the way to Texas and all the (or is it many of the?) H2G2 caches out there. You Texan H2G2 fans might want to see if you can spend some time with the intergalactic towel before it gets whisked away ... and if you do, please do upload a photo of YOUR OWN towel.

+GeoForse Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Not to change the direction of this thread, but does anybody remember the "Chronosynplasticinfinubulon" ? Was it part of the HGTTG or was it part of something else. Seems I recall hearing about it on some NPR progarm back in the seventies or early eighties. GeoForse Quote Link to comment
+MissJenn Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hitchhikers/newseries.shtml BBC Radio 4 presents an Above the Title Production of THE HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY by DOUGLAS ADAMS Twenty-five years after the original radio series of Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy exploded into the public consciousness, the further exploits of its bewildered hero, Arthur Dent, are being brought to life in their original medium and with the (mainly) original cast. The last three books of the ‘trilogy in five parts’, Life, The Universe And Everything; So Long And Thanks For All The Fish and Mostly Harmless, have been dramatised as two new series (none of them were previously produced for radio). As the original two series were dubbed the Primary and Secondary Phases by Douglas Adams, these new series form the Tertiary, Quadrenary and Quintessential Phases. Thanks to the wonders of digital technology, Douglas Adams himself can be heard playing the part of Agrajag. Quote Link to comment
+Cleenjeep & Danger Girl Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Just a little story to share, on the day that Douglas Adams passed away, I was out caching. Had to swim to a mosquito ridden island in a park that was rumored to be haunted by a witch. When I emerged from the sludge pond, and opened the cache, I was rewarded with a battered copy of "so long and thanks for all the fish." So delighted was I, that I attempted to tread water on the way back, but only managed to just keep the book dry. I was caught without my towel as well. For shame. Later that day, I heard of his demise on NPR. How ironic that I should find a DA book on the day of his death, also, it was the only one I did not have a copy of. I had thought of making it a TB as well, so that others may read it. Quote Link to comment
+Cleenjeep & Danger Girl Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 BTW, my sig quote is DA as well. From that last book, the most unusual "salmon of doubt". Quote Link to comment

YemonYime Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 After reading through the thread, I think it's only appropriate that I start planning a multi named "The Triple-Breasted Cache of Eroticon Six". Only hitch (pun intended) is that I might have to lobby GC.com for an additional "maturity" rating. Hey Lep! You have some pull...gotta sec? Quote Link to comment
+Phideo Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Just wanted to pass this one along too. Quote Link to comment
+Cow Spots Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Had to pass this along.... Douglas Adams now has been immortalized with the official naming of an asteroid in his honor: Asteroid named after 'Hitchhiker' humorist How cool is it that the original designation for the asteroid was 2001 DA42 ?!? I'm going to set up a Hitchhiker's Guide cache in Arizona pretty quick here. --Dave, The Cow Spots Quote Link to comment
