How could anyone in possession of a moiety of their mind not prefer the book to the radio program?

Solitaire1 · 04-04-2021, 01:38 PM

Isn't the book based on the original radio program? Thus, isn't the Radio Program the true source of the wonder that is The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy?

Does the lizard have a point, literally and figuratively?

Can I write a question and then continue with statements?

The first radio episodes in 1978-1980 which were the basis for the first two Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books were created and realized by Douglas Adams. There are quite a few differences between the radio episodes and the books. The remaining radio episodes were based on the later books in the series and were created and broadcast after Douglas Adams' had passed.

Did you know that some of some of the radio shows were written by John Lloyd? And if you didn't, had you never wondered why the Haggunenons don't appear in the books?

Where did the good old days go?

Will our grandchildren look back at today and think of them as the good old days?

Solitaire1 · 04-07-2021, 01:03 PM

Could the good old days be considered the good old days because things are less advanced back then? Could it be the result of longing for a simpler time? Could this be the reason for the return of vinyl, where listening to music is very simple compared to other ways of listening to music?

Could we remove the minute's hand in a watch?

Would this be done in a timely fashion?

Did anyone else groan at poohbear_nc's pun?

Solitaire1 · 04-12-2021, 02:09 PM

Was that a pun? Do you mean that PoohBear was trying to pun-ish us? Could we soon see the Easter Punny?

binaryhermit · 04-12-2021, 02:36 PM

Does anyone else despise stupid puns?

Solitaire1 · 04-12-2021, 03:00 PM

Should I look up the definition of a pun so I can determine what a stupid pun is? Does a pun consist of more than just substituting syllables with "pun" in words? What if, after finding out what a pun actually is, I decide to write the most painful puns in existence, ones so painful that they will make people long for vogon poetry?

Have you never read a book written by an author whose metier is cruel and unusual PUNishment?
