Its good to be her talking to such fine chaps as yourself peter

Its also good to see some "HHGTTG" fans. 

We may know the question if it wasnt for the bloody Golgafrinchams crashing on our planet. Or should i say what was our planet.

"Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble on the wabe. All mimsy were the borogroves, and the momes rath outgrabe." It makes no sense but i like it

 Why men shouldn't take phone messages:

"Dear, the Gyna Colleges called, and said that the Pabst Beer was fine. I didn't think you liked beer."

Well Mr. Rideout, as the famous Lewis Carroll once wrote:

"Life, what is it but a dream?"

But then he also wrote:

"If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there.".....

The original version of "No matter where you go, there you are."

ClapStormcrow was right!Clap

 The quoted poem excerpt was by the brilliant Lewis Carrol, and is the first verse of "Jabberwocky," which appears in Through the Looking Glass. It makes sense, of a sort, in its own context.

Geek OK progholes, how many Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass/Lewis Carroll references can you identify in prog, and/or other musicQuestion

Jabberwocky

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
  Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
  And the mome raths outgrabe.


"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
  The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
  The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
  Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
  And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
  The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
  And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
  The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
  He went galumphing back.

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
  Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
  He chortled in his joy.


`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
  Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
  And the mome raths outgrabe.
Lewis Carroll!!! 
 One of my favs, Sir Peter.

"White rabbit" by Jefferson's Airplane, found on their surrealistic pillow (I want one!)

That is obviously a referece to Alice In Wonderland and/or LSD

 An exemplary one, Sir Dan of Bo! Well done!Clap

Now, how about the Stranglers for a Carroll connection?

ErmmThere's plenty of evidence to suggest so, Danbo (unripe ones, anyway), but the academic jury is still out on that one.... (I'm inclined to agree with the "yea" side.)

Still, that is not the song I meant. I want an irrefutable Carroll reference from the Stranglers.
