Happy Birthday Raloria

Here's a little something for our lovely raloria who keeps our F/lists well supplied with all sorts of daily scrumptiousness ...

I hope your special day is as special as can be!

Book Meme - No. 13 and 14

13. Makes me laugh.

14. An old favorite.

I'm going to give the same answer to both these questions:
'The Hitch-Hikers' Guide to the Galaxy'

I first read it when I was13 and have never been without a copy since. It's a work of genius; hilarious and gloriously absurd, and it introduced words and phrases into the English language such as:

Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster
Slartibartfast
The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't
Itt is  mistake to think you can solve any major problems with just potatoes
Zaphod Beeblebrox
The Great Green Arkleseizure and the Coming of the Great White Handkerchief

and of course...

42, the ultimate answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything.


Who couldn't love a  book like that???

Oh Lordy ...

This is a photo op from Pittcon.  I don't know what the context is, but ...

DAYUM!

There go my ovaries *wafts smoke*
