Grey.
Rain.

Same here.

You know where you live, right? Isn’t grey & rain the default?

 

[AWonkyDonkey]

I just remembered I er... I um... I have something to do. K. Bye.

A dodgy hostel room in China. Oh, wait, that was just no windows.

Also one in Ohio (no idea where) that actually had curtains that opened to a wall blank wall.

The answer was a mushroom...

 

[cheekygirl75]

The answer was a mushroom...

I thought the answer to that riddle was “room for improvement”?

 

[cheekygirl75]

Shut it, mush.....

The answer was a mushroom...

So Wander got it right!

 

[AWonkyDonkey]

So Wander got it right!

Don't start taking her side!

Mush is slang from where she's from. It's slang for man, I believe.

Anyway. I'm right, she's wrong...

*Looks over his shoulder nervously.*

 

[Wand3rlust]

Yes. Yes I did.

But he failed to notice my clever play on words. Ya know. Being a donkey and all.

Careful you might get a slap in the mush

Her arms aren't long enough. She's only a short 'un.

Wow face incoming

 

[cheekygirl75]

I'm going now before things get violent!

She’s got Go Go Gadget arms!

 

[AmberLGreen]

The answer was a mushroom...

It's funny you're in a mushroom when I bet you've had a fair few inside you too.

The character in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series who is an unwitting rain god is named Rob McKenna. He is a lorry driver from the West Country of England, and unbeknownst to him, rain clouds "love him and want to be near him".

Rob McKenna meticulously documented 232 distinct types of rain in a small book. Some examples of these named rain types include breezy droplets (Type 11), dirty blatter (Type 17), light pricking drizzle (Type 33), heavy spotting (Type 39), and vertical light drizzle (Type 47). He also categorized sharply slanting light to moderate drizzle (Type 51), specific types of vertical torrential downpour (Types 87 and 88), and post-downpour squalling (Type 100). Further classifications include varieties of cold gusting and cab-drumming rain (Types 123, 124, 126, 127), a range of seastorm types (Types 192 to 213), and the final documented type, Bucketing down (Type 232).

what about larruping down?

there is a fabulous description of a receding thunderstorm, just after Dent gets dropped off... something about two old men having an argument and them constantly saying "and another thing" long after the fight is over.

i loved the rain god character

It's my favourite book from the Triliogy of 5.
The Fenchurch and Arthur story line is brilliant.
Especially the whole Learning to fly, (the ability to throw yourself at the ground and miss.)

For years I've also quoted Wonko the Sane. "Any civilization that had so far lost its head as to need to include a set of detailed instructions for use in a package of toothpicks, was no longer a civilization in which I could live and stay sane.”

still undecided about the theatre show that's on. it's not to far from me, but... dunno, the Guide shouldn't be messed with

oddly, i was thinking of Wonko the other day after someone sent an email with a stupidly obvious instruction in it.

I agree, it shouldn't be messed with. The film, omg I wanted to gouge out my eyes.

I've a friend who proof reads instruction manuals, he's been knicknamed wonko by his colleagues. Mainly because of the rants when he sees warnings that are obvious.

His most frustrating is "Do not use the microwave to dry pets"!

I’m sure I read that someone had actually won a legal case because that warning wasn’t there and they had tried to dry their dog that way! Maybe an urban myth of course.

According to my friend, nearly every warning is because someone did it.

Which is really worrying when you read them.
