I live in Tacoma Washington.
Judson, 22 years of living on this gravity well, spiraling around this nuclear fireball that somehow keeps us warm. Words of description: single, 'out to lunch', Malformed Public duty gland, and a deficiency in moral fiber precluding me from saving Universes. Possibly a dreamer (jury is still out). A bit rude, a bit crude, a bit into myself.
Nothing of importance: Don't listen to me, because I am mostly out to lunch, and Mostly harmless.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
We never seemed to be happy doing the same things. We always had the greatest arguments over sex and fishing. Eventually we tried to combine the two, but that only led to disaster.

The Universe—- Some information to help you live in it.
- Area: Infinite
Infinite: Bigger than the biggest thing ever and then some. Much bigger than that in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, real “wow that’s big,” time. Infinity is just so big that, by comparison, bigness itself looks really titchy. Gigantic multiplied by colossal multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we’re trying to get across here.
- Imports: None
It is impossible to import things into an infinite area, there being no outside to import things from.
- Exports: None.
See imports.
- Population: None
it is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. There fore, there must be an finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be Zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.
- Monetary units: None.
In fact there are three freely convertible currencies in the Galaxy, but none of them count. The Altairian dollar has recently collapsed, the Flainian Pobble Bead is only exchangeable for out Flainian Pobble Beads, and the Triganic Pi has its own very special problems. Its exchange rate of eight Ningis to on Pu is simple enough, but since a Ningi is a triangular rubber coin six thousand eight hundred miles along each side, no one as ever collected enough to own on Pu. Ningis are not negotiable currency, because the Galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling small change. From this basic premise it is very simple to prove that the Galactibanks are also the product of a deranged imagination.
- Art: None
The function of art is to hold a mirror up to nature, and there simply isn’t a mirror big enough - see point one.
- Sex: None.
Well, in fact there is an awful lot of this, largely because of the total lack of money, trade, banks, art or anything else that might keep all the nonexistent people of the Universe occupied. However, it is not worth embarking on a long discussion of it now because it reallly is terribly complicated. For further information See Guide Chapters 7, 9, 10, 11, 14, 16, 17, 19, 21, to 84 inclusive, and in fact most of the rest of the Guide.

Funny old thing, life… It’s what you make it.

Beauty was truth, truth beauty and hoped thereby to prove that the guilty part in this case was life itself for failing to be either beautiful or true

In cases of major discrepancy it’s always reality that’s got it wrong.

When he heard the words integrity or moral rectitude he reached for his dictionary, and when he heard the chink of ready money in large quantities he reached for the rule book and threw it away.

Your God person puts an apple tree in the middle of a garden and says, do what you like guys, oh, but don’t eat the apple. Surprise surprise, they eat it and he leaps out from behind a bush shouting “gotcha

Pandora's Box // IDK: Marvin battles a tank. From The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
This is my favorite excerpt of this book. I omitted all the parts that weren’t about this scene. Very funny series, you should read it.
Marvin stood at the end of the bridge corridor. He was not in fact a particularly small robot. His silver body gleamed in the dusty sunbeams and shook with the…
this is great. I loved this part as well.
I only decide about my Universe, My universe is my eyes and my ears. Anything else is hearsay.
