Douglas Adams Remembered By Those Who Knew Him

Posted by Zonk on from the rotating-in-his-grave dept.

John "Widgett" Robinson writes "IGN FilmForce tapped a bunch of folks who knew and worked with Douglas Adams, asking them to share some stories of their time with the man himself. They've posted the results as an article that includes responses from Pythoner Terry Jones, author Neil Gaiman, actor Stephen Fry, Rutle Neil Innes, zoologist Mark Carwardine, and Monkee Michael Nesmith. I've never heard any of these stories before, so the thing winds up being a unique tribute to a very cool frood."

    You mean "froopy".

    Clearly you do not know where your towel is.

    Of course. He's not going to be remembered by those who knew nothing about him.

    Why not? It would seem to suit his humor.

    "Douglas Adams? Wasn't he the guy that was busted for taking his dick out on the merry-go-round at the county fair?"

    "I can say, without a doubt, that Douglas Adams was the most underutilized character on that Adams Family show."
