Past or Future?

[Guest Scathane]

These are the biggest questions in our short lifes...

Why are we here?

Is there a life after death?

Why did Vader stop Boba Fett from shooting Chewbacca?

You forgot Where shall we have lunch?

[Lord_La_forge]

Hungry?

[Guest Scathane]

Nope. This is where it came from:

 

The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinctive and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why and Where phases. For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question How can we eat? The second question Why do we eat? and the third question Where shall we have lunch?

Wow! I'm impressed Scath

I didn't read this book. Sure it makes sense now Thank you for the quick lesson!

[Trejiuvanat]

Damn I really need to read that book, but if i buy it know it will collect dust in my pile of books I-definetely-have-to-read, which are opposed by the pile of books that I-need-to-read-for-school-or-i-will-fail....

After October when I'm at last free of school I'll take my time and read.... and read... and only read....

Cool dude!

 

You quote from the about one of the best books ever written....

[Guest Scathane]

I know, I practically laughed my balls off reading that book...

Wow, that sounds awefully familiar! Luckily . . .

After October when I'm at last free of school

I get out Friday.

 

I'll take my time and read.... and read... and only read....

Sounds like the extent of my life. . . .

 

 

I'm going to have to buy that book!

[Guest Scathane]

You guys do that... See which issue you can find. At first there were only four volumes, called The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - A Trilogy in Four Parts. In my humble opinion, that's about enough. He later wrote a fifth volume (so it became A Trilogy in Five Parts) but in my humble opinion it was more of the same...

 

Whichever you buy, try to get all the volumes in one publication: it's better to have one book than four or five...

[Dude22]

Whats the bock about?

[Lord_La_forge]

Perhaps it was released in Hungary too (I wonder, what title the translation has). Is it an old release?

[Guest Scathane]

Whats the bock about?

Well obviously about Hitchhiking the Galaxy... I must say that I find that you're asking for the complete obvious for someone who thinks that Star Trek is more intelligent than Star Wars...

The novels were originally publisghed as follows:

 

The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy - 1979
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe - 1980
Life, the Universe and Everything - 1982
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish - 1984

The four above were published as The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy: A Trilogy in Four Parts for the first time in 1986.

[Lord_La_forge]

Thanks for the guide Scathane. 86? Well I still have chance to get it..

[SOCL]

If anyone has a Walden Books or Borders Books around can be assured that they have them/it. Then again, most of you live outside the U.S. so. . . .

So, are all these comments you've made as of late rooted in your liking of ST?

Wow Scath, that was really harsh, I like it

[Dude22]

Yeah, kiddies go on and play with ur PC and dream on to be a superstar in the SW Universe. Now I can see what this trashy space sope operas can do to "normal" people. Come on "u cannot compare ST and SW cos SW is more fantasy with knights and princess..." get ur feet back unto earth and recognize that its all bullshit and a waste of time when u watch it. When u grow up u will recognize that.

[dude21]

That was very hard , but realistic

Star Wars universe is not made to be an counterpart to Star Trek.

Its easy to understand and the evil is clear defined (Empire)

and Star Trek is much more complexer. BUT thats not the point! We like Star Wars, BECAUSE it is so easy to hook in.

[Lord_La_forge]

Dude22, you really won't have too much friends here, if you'll continue with your egoistic comments.

And please try to avoid offensive and disgusting words like bull**t, *ss, gay..

People could think that you are incredibly arrogant, unintelligent and childish.. Of course we all know you're not. :roll: A real ST fan is a sophisticated, enlightened, fine gentleman... (like you)...

[dude21]

Nice written La Forge

[Lord_La_forge]

Well thank you my dear AT-AT! Edited May 24, 2003 by Lord_La_forge

All right, dude22, you have got some serious problems. You joined a STAR WARS site, thus, you should have known what to expect. You don't like us or the matters here, then why do you stay? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be happy to see you either tone it down . . . or leave.

Kindly and simply put: CHILL!
