I loved the line about the place where toast goes after it leaves this world. Was priceless.
I love these little spurts of Douglas Adams-y writing I occasionally have while writing this. So fun to do. :3
I know exactly what you mean, last one I had, I described an awkward love triangle between the floor, ceiling, and ceiling fan.
I'm still reading my way through The Salmon of Doubt. Gotta take measured doses of that man's genius.
I thought he died before he finished The Salmon of Doubt? Speaking of the books, I need to finish "Mostly Harmless" *sigh* I wish he would have ended the series on a happier note.
Salmon of Doubt is a collection of all the stuff on his Mac, transcripts of interviews and old letters and such he sent.
It holds a short extract from the Sixth Hitchhiker book, and a large lump of another very weird book.

Huh, I guess you learn something new every day. I was under the impression that the Salmon of Doubt was a book for a different series he had written and was going to use it to tie the two series together.
And I guess I'll have to find myself a copy of it then, I really love his work and now I just feel weird knowing that I don't have it all. =/

Half of it is, and it inherited the title from it. The first half is a posthumous collection of various bits of his genius, including a short story called "Young Zaphod Plays It Safe," which is awesome.
Salmon of Doubt itself, or at least, what he managed to write of it, is freaking hilarious. It's true Adams writing.
