About me:
Zaphod Beeblebrox, adventurer, ex-hippy, good timer, (crook? quite possibly), manic self-publicist, terribly bad at personal relationships, often thought to be completely out to lunch.
*
"..You ARE Zaphod Beeblebrox?'
..Yeah,' said Zaphod, ..but don't shout it out or they'll all want one.'
..THE Zaphod Beeblebrox?'
..No, just A Zaphod Beeblebrox, didn't you hear I come in six packs?'
..But sir,' it squealed, ..I just heard on the sub-ether radio report. It said you were dead...'
..Yeah, that's right, I just haven't stopped moving yet.'"
*
------------------------------------------------------------"His philosophy was a mixture of three famous schools -- the Cynics, the Stoics and the Epicureans -- and summed up all three of them in his famous phrase, "You can't trust any bugger further than you can throw him, and there's nothing you can do about it, so let's have a drink." (Terry Pratchett).
Keywords: language(s), philosophy (the oldfashioned rational kind), humo(u)r, absurdity, music, cabaret (the Dutch variety: Hans Teeuwen and the like), salade niçoise - duizendmaal dank, Patricia :)! - , sorbet au cassis, Rotterdam's World Famous Dudok Apple Pie, huge slabs of bloody dead animal, stilton, caipirinha, mojito, raw herring, live oysters, gewurztraminer, pastis, Claeryn jenever, wodka, Belgian beers, cinnamon, garlick, ginger, Barcelona, Prague, Budapest, Lisbon, Paris, San Diego, Brazil, Gaudi, Hundertwasser, Dali, Hieronymus Bosch, Valeri Gergiev. I hate arrogance, unnecessary stupidity, injustice, George W. and all other powerful dimwits, and I'm NOT interested in cars, all things macho, American sports, getting drunk (tipsy is good enough for me) or stoned, ballet, astro"logy" and other superstitious beloney...
