17 - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

We are back for Season 2 covering the classic Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. We are happy to be back and are thrilled to discuss the basics of hitchhiking across the galaxy, which medium we prefer the story to be in, and why extra creepy parts were added to the movie.

Episode Drink:

Pan Galatic Garbel Blaster

1TBL Gin

1TBL light rum

1 TBL vodka

1TBL tequila

2 TBL creme de menth liqueur

2TBL Galliano

1 cup ice cubes

1 slice of lemon

Side note: We recognize that the typical way drink recipes are written are in ounces so we looked it up and one ounce is equal to two tablespoons. For those of your measuring along at home, the one tablespoon alcohols all get half an ounce in this recipe and the two tablespooners get a full ounce.

Combine the gin, rum, vodka, tequila, creme de menthe, Galliano and ice in the container of a blender. Cover, and blend until slushy. Pour into a glass and garnish with a slice of lemon.

Our Drinking Game for this Story:

Take a drink when:

The Hitchhiker's Guide is quoted
The improbability drive is used
Every time you see a towel
Arthur is confused
Ford or Zaphod doesn't understand something that was just said to them

(So basically anytime any of the men are holding the story back?)

And knock back your drink when you just understand Marvin. Like, you get him. This makes sense to you.

Please drink responsibly! Hail hydrate.
