So long, and thanks for all the laughs.

LUGTrek isn't really dead. Not as long as we remember it.

I know how you feel, Mr Adams was the author who really inspired me to read in High School, I used HHGTTG as a sophomore English Project. He inspired me to write, including a crappy short story, maybe I'll dust it off and polish it as a tribute.

Most of all Douglas Adams taught me never to be ashamed of my intelligence, or my ignorance, as they are what carry us through life.

Sail on Mr Adams, you were one hoopy frood who really knew where his towel was.

What an insult to compare Douglas Adams to Peter David.

Douglas Adams’ body of work crushes Peter David on his best day.

So long Mr. Adams, and thanks for all the fish.

Farewell, Mr Adams (I don't presume to call him by his frst name, although he probably wouldn't have cared).

I guess the pains in the diodes down your left side are now gone.

Your towel is in your bag next to the front door (but you already knew that, didn't you?).

Enjoy your meals in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, and have a Pan-Galactic Gargle-Blaster on me.

A couple of comments to throw in times of stress to that person who's really annoying you...

"Oohhh. Did I just step on your itty-bitty ego?"
"How many times do I have to flush before you go away?"

I'll bet he finally found that question he'd been looking for.

It's funny -- you never expect something like this to affect you. "Oh," you say to yourself, "He's a celebrity I never met. When he dies, it'll be a loss to the world, but I don't think it'll hit me all that hard."

Then it happens, and you find yourself on the phone with your GF, crying like a baby, and trying to explain why.

So long, Mr. Adams. You are already missed.

You are lucky, me I've only got 14.5 years left.

It's sad, but it reminds us to cherish each and every day of our lifes. Something I'm sure Mr. Adams would have liked.

We could really use a "bawling like a baby" emoticon on this system for days like this.

"There is a theory which states that if anyone ever figures out what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

"There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Oh damn. This probably means my relapse will have a depression -er- I mean this probably means my depression will have a relapse.

Hmm... no sig this time

Man...

I remember when I read my first Douglas Adams novel. I was 13 and living in San Diego. It was The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It was so off the wall I nearly peed myself laughing and that was only while reading the first chapter. His style of telling a story, leaping to a tangent, and then dropping right back to the story was unique and entertaining.

Thank you Mr. Adams and rest in peace.
