It annoys me because of the people on the short end.

Yes, if one has been at the short oend of such reasoning, it is harder to find the humour in it. For some reason your post left me singing the song "Don't want no short people round here", a perennial favourite of mine despite being both short and round.

You're as cute as a button, too!

Actually, I picture you looking the same as Arthur Dent, except without the beard, which is the opposite of what you say.

Flattering, and pretty accurate as a description of the "real" MaxQ. This cheap knockoff, however, looks nothing like that, as can be seen by taking a trip to the Rogues' Gallery at my idrive account, and looking for oneself.

Oh, I dunno. Give you a nondescript dressing gown and a pair of slippers, and that slightly confused and quizzical look would slot right in to HHGTHG. Nobody ever said that Arthur Dent was tall or thin. Only that he was perpetually one behind in the understanding-his-current-situation department ...



The idiot also known as Capfka ...

Somewhere, possibly in the radio scripts which I do not have, Arthur's height is given as around 6 ft - 6 inches tallr than I am.

I usually think of characters being at least tall. I also think of Zaphod as being blue and wrinkly.

I didn't know that it was possible to put faces to some of the names. Now that I know, I've aded to your gallery. In the image I posted, I'm the older, follicly-challenged person.
