Hitchhiker's Guide (to the galaxy)

Other acronyms include HHGG and H2G2. It is generaly unclear if the 'G' in HHG is meant to refer to Guide or Galaxy, but Guide seems to make more sense.

ahem

This page exists because Nemo is a fan.

For the moment, it's just a list of some links he might want to chase up, and a few random ideas... :)

Memorabilia

Things a HHG fan might concievably buy if it was marketed, or make for themself.

• Dressing gown
• Wikkit Gate and Ultimate Weapon matching set.
• Kill-O-Zap gun (see also below - Fifth Element)

Towel with enhancements

Towel gets it's own sub-category since it is so iconic to the culture. All towel enhancement ideas should be functional (imho) without detracting from the essential towel concept. ie, You can dry yourself off with it if it seems clean enough

• Hand-holds with double stitching
• Pocket

Pattern ideas

• Literature (woven in or printed on)
• "chalk" body outline
• particle accelerator pattern
• geometric shapes as per TV series

Links

• BopAdTour - Touring the real and fictional places from the life and writings of Douglas Adams
• Press Release regarding Douglas talking about a 3D IMAX version of HHG ...apparently as a series of 40minute films?

References and other notes

Guide References in other media

• Mulder (X-Files) lives in Apartment 42
• Men In Black - aliens escaping earth sing the betelgusian death anthem (from the radio series)

Coincidental(?) appearance of Guide-like elements

• The hallway mugger in Fifth Element wields a Kill-o-Zap -alike gun.
• The Husnock in Star Trek:TNG ships (episode: The Survivor, season 3) are not dissimilar to the Vogon ships of the TV series
