Meaning of life baby...

....to pee, to climb, and to never look down.

...or maybe it's to pee, to look down, to realize the guy you just pissed on can kick your @ss, and to climb as fast as humanly possible.

hmmm, maybe that's it.

I'll say coca cola.

coca cola brings meaning to your life?

man, you must have a mean life :)

If 42 is the universal answer......
Why don't people use it on Jeopardy,
At least then something on the show would be better than Alex's stupid comments.


P.S.- The guy below you can only whup on you if he catches you....

Ain't you guys ever read Hitchhiker's Guide? ...and all of its sequels?

42 is the apartment number of the building where the past and present loophole through each other, and eventually are destroyed.

Heh Heh ... and you thought you guys didn't have lives.

the meaning of life? yeah as if life has a meaning!!!! (uncontrollable laughter)

...What is 6x9?

I prefer the electric Monk climbing the building....

No, no, no, the meaning of life is clearly sandwich making. But since there are no Perfectly Normal Beasts on Earth, we will never be able to achieve true happiness...

BTW, does anyone know when DA's next one is due?

And are Douglas and Terry Pratchett the same person? We are having a fierce debate about this. The writing style is EXACTLY the same.

The real meaning of life is of course explained best in Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life". The Title says it all.

I have read all the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy books and they rock!!! So does a book called red dwarf very similiar. Monty python and all his movies, shows, and games kick ***!!!! As for the meaning of life well it's to play games, insult others, and most importantly to rule the universe!!!! which I hope I will someday (obviously I won't! DUH!!!!)

How odd of The Fat Egg refering to Monty Python as a person :rolleyes: . Perhaps he should go to http://www.monty-python.com . If you like the Red Dwarf books you should check out the TV show.

THANKS for clearing that up!!!

Always glad to help.

one word: BEER

Beer?

Actually, perhaps the meaning of life is to watch Dr.Strangelove over and over. It's a very funny movie about a comedic end to the world!!!

The meaning of life? All life is, is some giant soap opera that G-d watches and laughes his @ss off at the stupid humans. SO I say, as long as we are to be the butt of some huge divine joke, we might as well give him something BIG to laugh about. Personnally, I like the old Roman idea of mass orgies after dinner every day.

As far as I know, "Mostly Harmless" is DA last book, as Arthur kind of, well, dies.
If you haven't read this book, sorry, hate to ruin your life.

HEY, THE MEANING OF LIFE IS TO MAKE OTHERS' LIVES MISERABLE! I JUST REALIZED THAT!

Well, yeah Arthur dies :(, but there are parallel universes aren't there? And what about a sequel with Zaphod as the main character or even Marvin?

Hey Fat Egg, I picked up a couple of the Red Dwarf books on ebay on your recommendation. I haven't read them yet, but if I'm not happy you owe me $5 :p

Since we are speaking of English Satirists, Terry Pratchett's Discworld series is very very similar to Douglas Adams, only fantasy based instead of science fiction. In fact he is so similar that for a long time I was convinced that he WAS Douglas Adams.

Terry Pratchett? Oh God, not him.

What's wrong with Terry Pratchett?

I think he's pretty funny....

[This message has been edited by Lord Balduran (edited August 06, 2000).]

Terry Pratchett is awesome, read some of his work before. As is Adams, Grant, and Naylor.

So, the answer is 42, huh?

Well, then what's was the Question?

BTW, both DA and TP are xtremely cool..or is it weird??

[This message has been edited by Darqnezz (edited August 15, 2000).]

The question is "What do you get when you multiply 6 x 9"

In Mostly Harmless, The address of that night club, (the Beta thing), is 42. I assume that it is on the corner of 6th and 9th.

But we all know that assume makes an *ss out of u and me.

I agree with the Hooligan, Pratchet is now ****. He started off good, but he's not any more. And in defense of David Eddings' novels, they're funny book's with a great story. The sequal series' are never as good as the first, but hey, you can't have everything.
I'd recommend them, as well as David Gemmel book's, to anyone who want to read fantasy as it should be. It's a pity that a lot of the TSR novels I've read haven't been as good.

Terry Pratchett kicks ass! =)

*****Immature South Park Joke Alert*****

Terry Pratcett DOES NOT kick arse...he does something else to arse, yeah...

Robert Rankin (nice name) is a really good auther, btw

Vermillion: Pratchett is now ****???
Dude, his later books are BRILLIANT!
Carpe Jugulum is a masterpiece, and so is The Last Continent.
And Interesting Times is the best he's ever written.
I would also like to add that I just don't like Eddings all that much. i don't know, there's only so much "Aunt Pol" I can handle.

and to all you X-File fans, Mulder's apartment number is 42. hmmmmmmmmm...

Yes I have read his later books. Against my better judgement, but I did. Why do you think I can still give an opinion on him? And yes, there is only so much "Aunt Pol" people can handle, but the story was so good that it made the "Aunt Pol"'s tolerable. It's probably always said in a whiny voice too. It's the voice I've alway's imagined Garion has.....

Lets put it straight! The answer is 42! Arthur says so! It came out of him and Ford did the equation! Get it right! 42 is the answer...pity earth was destroyed by the bogons!

42, alright. No doubt about it.

Too funny! The number I've always had on my hockey sweater is 42...I've always liked that number for some reason, now I'm wondering if all these subconscious references to 42 have something to do with it!

And I always thought I was being original.

Weren't they vogons? If you were ever to meet a vogon, you would wish you had never been born. Or, if you were thinking more clearly, that the vogon had never been born. Or something like that...

WEEEEEE!!! Nothing like re-visiting old threads!

The Vogons only destroyed the Earth in one dimension! If you remember, at the end of "Mostly Harmless," the Vogon commander (can't remember his name), was thinking. He was thinking about how they had destroyed Earth like eleven times or something like that.

Remember, Arthur and (what's her name), were sitting on that interstellar airplane when (what's her name), disappeared. Maybe she didn't disappear, maybe he appeared somewhere parallel to where he was. In other words, he co-existed in the Space-Time continumumuuum (how do you spell that word?).

the number i had on my high school basketball team was 42, OH MY GOD IS THIS AN OLD THREAD!

who the hell dug up this crusty old thing?

I thought the question was "how many roads must a man walk down?"

Have some respect for old age, silly little monsterlings. This is the granddaddy of all topics that have ever been posted at Boards O' Magick. In fact, it is THE FIRST topic to have appeared on the whole boards back in June of 2000.

Kneel and repent! :D

Someone needs to post one more time so that the number of posts matches the title... :)

Ok, I spam!

And i ruin!

BWHAHAHAHA!

tak is right this is some classic ****, ahhh.... dr.strangelove..............

the meaning of life is jammy dodgers!
they represent life in its simplest form!
you start off as a little red splodge in the middle of ur mummy tummy, then as u get older (or further out the biscuit) you get older and crustier until your just flaking off like nobodys business!

In honor of the FIRST Anniversary of Sorcerers' (which we missed because the site was moving :( ), I wanted to resurrect the FIRST TOPIC ever posted on the forum.

My how we've grown and matured over the past year (sniff, sniff). We've raised many new, interesting and irrelevant questions; and still the best answer is "42". (long moment of silence for Douglas Adams)

As to the meaning of life, I think it is summarized best by this classic American Folk Song:

"Here's to good friends
Tonight is kinda special
The beer we'll pour
Must mean something more somehow
So tonight, tonight, let it be Sorcerers"

Technically its the anniversary of the boards only :p, but what the hey. Woohoo!! A year :). Heres hoping it goes on for a lot longer and thanks to all the mods.

/me orders a large cake

damn - these chat commands don't seem to work on the boards :D :D :D

Well done and happy anniversery.

If you really want to know the meaning of life then eat a raw squirrel. I have heard that it helps. Alternitivley you can stick your nose into a kittens bottom.

The meaning of life: To have this thread running for another few years!

Life itself is meaningless. It's what you do with yours that brings meaning to it.

I will honour this topic by not spamming in it.
