Neil Gaiman on the Hitchhiker's Sequel

[fairyrune]

"Nobody asked me to do it, but then, when Douglas asked me if I'd like to adapt Life, The Universe and Everything for radio I said no, and that was with Douglas alive and asking. (Dirk Maggs did it, and did an excellent job.) It seemed a thankless task

Precisely. He hits the nail on the head.

[fairyrune]

Neil's good at that. It's why we love him.

[tdisdead]

That and his cute butt.

[fairyrune]

And his ability to cuddle pandas!

[tdisdead]

Apparently he's a superhero in disguise. THIS MAN NEEDS SPANDEX!

[fairyrune]

Ack! No! I saw enough spandex this weekend, thankyouverymuch.

[tdisdead]

pshaw, no such thing as too much spandex.

[fairyrune]

You did not see what I saw. I needed a hug afterwards. And eyeball disinfectant.

[tdisdead]

Hugs I have.

However... KIDS: don't put disinfectant in your eyeballs. It sucks real bad!

[fairyrune]

Hrm. Maybe THAT's why my contacts were acting up for the rest of the day...

[tdisdead]

Man up and soak 'em in arsenic. 'swhat I do.

[fairyrune]

Hrm. I don't know. That would require going out and finding arsenic, and I really don't have the energy for that.

[tdisdead]

Get some underlings and have them do it. Not hard to find, and I think there's something you can do with almonds to make your own.

Would you believe I'm writing a proposal in the middle of all this?

[fairyrune]

Dude. You're you. Of course I believe it.

[tdisdead]

Flattery gets you everywhere.
