Favorite scene from the Hitchhiker's Guide books

[Bossy Monkey]

Had to break up my series of "least favorite" threads. Me, I gotta go with Ford Prefect in Han Dold City, followed by the seance with Zaphod's great-grandfather, followed by just about anything involving Slartibartfast. Yours?

Edit: GOT to get me a new keyboard!
Editedit: Maybe folks were intimidated by "pentalogy":D

1. when Aruthur and Ford meet up during the space bypass construction

starting at around "put this fish in your ear"

:D

[Bossy Monkey]

2. kick to show I can be positive sometimes n/t

[Loonman]

3. Arthur Dent and the old woman with the copy machine

"Mostly Harmless"

[Screaming Lord Byron]

4. I like the feel of the scenes when Arthur and Ford end up on prehistoric

earth, with the Golgafrichans.

10. Yes, that was hysterical.

I especially liked when the Golgafrinchans decided to make leaves the legal tender currency and had to burn down several deciduous forests to control inflation.

5. Let's give it one more go. I know there's a lot of Adams fanatics here! nt

6. Vogon poetry!

"O fruddled gruntbuggly. . ."

[baldguy]

7. The Saga of the Sandwichmaker

Arthur has found his calling - and a perfect idyllic life.

Then his daughter shows up to make his life "interesting". Then Ford shows up to destroy it.

"Mostly Harmless"

8. My favorite metaphor of all time.

"The ships hung in the sky in much the same way bricks don't."

My favorite scene wasn't really a scene. It was the part in "Restaurant" about the universe and things you need to know to live in it: imports and exports, number of people (zero), etc.

On edit: I am still pissed that Adams died so young with so many projects still in the making.

[The Magistrate]

9. Hard To Name A Single One, Sir

But arrival and dinner at Milliways is certainly high on the list, including Max Quordlepeen in his dressing room....
