i like my take (that the equation illustrates the fundamentally silly state of affairs in the universe) but i am quite impressed by the "dent wasn't a real human" take that is certainly well supported by the text!

ah, my bad, read these out of order.
well, my own experience with tequila sort-of counts as good news: it's amazing! all three ages, countless brands, let alone branching out into the wider world of mezcal!

liquor, if any, do/can you drink neat?
i'm a tequila (all three major ages agnostic) and bourbon and (if fancy) irish whiskey guy. who also regularly has ice cold dry martinis (either gin or vodka, the latter with a twist).
it started as a calories thing, became a preference thing.

game (i don't really have) respect game. i'm not a "do a thing on a dare" person (age helps but that's always been me) but i do respect certain iterations of it!
don't worry re: whiskey and old fashioneds. they're too sweet anyway.

lol, love it.
whatever the chicago one was, it was more straightforward, IIRC, like "dumpster juice" or something. or maybe it wasn't!
the fact that it was basically a conceptual order, rather than a real one, made remembering it, uh, less important.
now, can i make you an Old Fashioned or what?

this is one of those exchanges that make me *really* want to see if the OP replied to that murder-burn but sadly my strict twitter boycott precludes such a glance.
anyone who has a screencap or X dot cancel link, feel free to drop it here! i'm guessing no reply but whatevs, a girl can dream!

i got a bartender's license in Chicago and i could swear there was yet-another different term.

i only recently learned that a legit great explanation is that Arthur Dent is not actually part of the computer that is Earth since he is descended from the Ark B ship that crashed there, not the neanderthals that those humans replaced so his random scrabble draw has nothing to do with the ultimate

my take is that understanding the relationship between the question (9 x 6) and the "answer" of 42 is the key to understanding the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything (which is to say: the universe is absurd and defies reason).
Adams himself ruled out "oh it was a base 13 joke".

i am a child of the Hitchhiker's Guide, among other things, so i must take exception with your claim that 6 x 7 = 42.
it's clearly 9 x 6.
(great catch though; i wasn't looking to make that reference in my skeet)

would have enjoyed a bunch of what happened in the subsequent several seasons but odds are i won't be going back to find out; i now have a 5 year old and more time constrained life plus my god so much fucking apex TV and film to catch up on/keep up with.

yeah i believe the end of season 6 was the end of the OG creator's arc and involvement.
i made it another season or two; i *am* a sucker for C'thulu shit and, IIRC, that is to what they pivoted.
everyone involved is so charming and i'm such a nerd for the general conceptual space that i'm sure i

I do like an “everything is true” universe (IIRC the TVTrope term) so I would have no problems with angels being brought in to the vampire world (the Dresden Files books did this kind of thing well; ditto the handful of seasons of Supernatural I saw).
But I fell off her stuff for whatever reasons.

Yeah that sounds right; the angels stuff was its own thing.
Queen of the Damned (book not film) I think was the peak for me; Lestat getting power leveled to ancient vampire status was dope AF.
I’m a bone-deep Zelazny fan so, again, omnicompetent immortals hit hard!
