Title: What's the current karma holiday?
Post by: superluser on December 26, 2006, 07:55:56 PM
Missing, presumed:
[fed] [hungry]

This would seem to be in reference to the fourth editor of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, who went missing on a lunch break one morning and never returned.  Though a century has passed, a plaque on his desk still reads ``Lig Lury Jr, Editor, Missing, presumed Fed''

But I can't figure out what HHGTTG holiday this could be referring to.

Isn't Towel Day May 25?

Actually, I believe the joke would simply be that after all the eating on Christmas Day, you're either still hungry or well fed...

But good job on way overthinking it.

Yeah, that's what I thought it was a reference to, too.

There wasn't a handy holiday for three weeks. I -could- have set it back to normal karma, but that'd be all boring and stuff.

If you like, I could come up with another alkternative.

And yes, it was sortof H2G2 inspired. Ish.

Is that a threat? Because I see a potential Forum War I springing up from that...

...not that I'd have anything against that, of course. It's just that we'd all probably get banned, as we all know that moderators have no humour and Amber is too busy and above it all to care...

The problem is... what exactly is good, and which is bad?

They both seem patently evil to me.

The Muffins explode with random joy = good
The Brownies haunt your dreams = less good

I say we just make it read:

Muffins: [muffins][muffins] and let them figure it out.

Since I'm under the legal drinking age, does that mean my karma's frozen until next month? :3
