I think this may have been the first MINIon I drew… there’s another in contention since I am old and forgetful.
Don’t Panic. When you surround yourself with wonderfully geeky people there are some givens, one of those revolves around the number 42. If you have no idea what I’m talking about stop right now, either go out a read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, or find the BBC version online. While it was nice I would avoid the newer remake (film), it just didn’t do much for me and somewhat escaped the silliness of the book, and BBC TV and Radio dramas. So when I asked about numbers I knew from the group that 42 would vanish quickly. I think I had it on my original list ones I would just make- NO MATTER WHAT. I would brave readings of Poet Master Grunthos the Flatulent’s famous work “Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning” to get this MINIon drawn.
All I can say about MINIon #0042 is that he is definitely “a frood who really knows where his towel is.” His MINI is so black, it makes black look white (actually I don’t recall his MINI being black, but it seemed like a nice quote to put here). He has his towel, he has his babel fish (small, yellow, leech like, and probably the oddest thing in the universe), and I hear he mixes a dangerous Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster. Try your luck with the Hitchhiker’s Guide, I hear it was developed by the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation 🙂
Sorry, but if you can’t tell, while all of these pull various heartstrings, some are definitely from the dark part of my brain that polite society requires me to keep bottled up unless I wish to be locked up in a rubber room in one of those lovely white jackets that buckles in the back.
