[Aersoldorf]

I've got my towel, let's do this

[Louisistan]

"Oh no, not again."


(For those unfamiliar with the Hitchhiker's guide: yes I signed up just now. The offer did not say anything about being a bowl of petunias.)

[Echolilia]

I have a specialty in Stating the Obvious. Wrong, sometimes, maybe, but obvious.

I'm in.

[The Candy Lane]

Im in

[Campinia]

Ooh me me

[Flemingisa]

I'm in, I'm bringing extra towels for people who forget theirs, I am also excellent at stating the obvious.

[Sauron]

Me.

[Sheynat]

In! Let's do this!

[Barry]

[Elite]

I've only read the Dirk Gently books. ;_;
But oh well, I'll compete anyway because I can't compete next game.

[Tim Stark]

Put me in, coach.

[Ater Nox]

I'm in!

Those were awesome too.

As a side note, first one to die has to assume the role of Thrashbarg and make up stories about our exploits

[Deleted]

Sign me up!

[Ayunli]

I'm in. Hope we get to visit the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. I have plenty of expertise in stating the obvious and attracting attention away from power. Just ask Ford.

[Shy Guy]

Sign me in Scotty

[Aersoldorf]

Who let Captain Kirk on the Heart of Gold?

[Randomain]

I am in

[Lower Columbia]

I'm in.

[Hahiha / USSR]

[Tierra de Madre]

Don't Panic.



Brave candidates. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy thanks you for your applications. Your paperwork is being processed by a tree that carries no bitterness for the fact that some of you wrote on shreds of what used to be his grandmother. A fine and noble spruce she was.

HGTTG wishes to advise that applications will remain open for a further four days, as it is assumed that a number of you will not have sufficient strength of character and life force to survive the training program. Our company is able to sell off relatively intact bodies to the Dalantian Fungal Military, who use them for fertiliser out of which they sprout new members of their Armed Forces, for a hefty sum. As a result, we intend to allow time to accept the maximum number of entrants.

[Bendariaku]

I will sign up.

[Flemingisa]

Lets start this!!! I'm ready!!

[Tierra de Madre]

Don't Panic.

Dear foolhardy applicants.

HGTTG recommends that no further applications are submitted. Doing so from this point onwards will not put your name in the running for a journalistic degree, but will instead put you in the running for running the Intergalactic Planetary Ultra Super Extreme Space Marathon, which lasts for the next 14 years and traverses approximately 16 million kilometres of lonely emptiness.

The first round of training programs will begin soon. Your instructions will be mailed to you by courier space pigeons. Please keep your cats indoors.

[Elite]

The great part in all this is that I'm still finding the references humourous, even though I haven't read HGTTG yet.

[Barry]

Then you will find it downright hilarious, Elite, when we bulldoze your house on Day 1.

[Louisistan]

You've got to build bypasses!

[Flemingisa]

The suspense is killing me... Let's start!!
