  1. @drucifus Right now? Nowhere. Thinking of making one myself.
  2. Both @grwatson and @brewsternorth have suggested "Don't Panic and Carry a Towel" which is vastly superior.
  3. @pvponline I mean, I'm crap at business. I've no idea how to market myself. But I can write like a motherfucker.
  4. @pvponline Maybe those emailing you already have that base covered. Maybe they're just aware that the business side isn't their strength.
  5. @TheInkTank You too, eh?
  6. Saw a H2G2 "Keep Calm..." tee-shirt design that said "Keep Calm and Don't Panic". Surely "Don't Panic and Carry On" is better?

  9. The only time these words have ever been uttered - RT @bromley001: Right, recording Blue Peter. Watching it later. No spoilers! #DoctorWho
  10. For the last few strips, @krisstraub's Starslip will be renamed "Time Ruiner: Genesis" - starslip.com/2012/05/24/the…
  11. Brand new Jump Leads, probably! - jump-leads.com/comic/255
  12. All of your burps and belches can be made 700% more interesting! Simply follow them with the words "...he cried, lustfully."
  13. Read my response to "How did you celebrate your most recent birthday?": 4ms.me/KVMwfc
  14. I've no idea if I can actually name the movie in question. I probably can, but I'll hold off for now.
  15. You know when you go to see a movie because it's something to do and you don't expect to enjoy it, then end up really, really liking it?
  16. @kenlowery A million-billion years. Or three days. I don't know.
  17. I will never understand why some Americans think I'm Australian. I lay awake some nights, unable to focus on anything else.
  18. @krisstraub Man, what is this "[redacted]" everybody's talking about? There are so many people working on it!
