Shagbottom’s Guide to the Galaxy

May 14, 2021 By Captain Maiel Leave a Comment

It’s time again for another episode of Shagbottom Theater!

Later this month we have a notable day for science fiction fans across the world. I am sure I don’t have to tell you what it is after reading our title above. If I do, then you certainly don’t know the answer to everything. Perhaps read up on some Vogon poetry to balance yourself out. I know. I know. That’s highly improbable.

Short of dropping a whale on the stage, which Fionn finds rather disconcerting in light of The Boys and their grotesque interludes with water mammals, our intrepid hound would like to stop and give you a behind the scenes peak at his next production running this month. We’ve caught up with him backstage and he has a few words for the fans. Don’t panic when you see his robe and towel state of dress.

Are you a science fiction fan? Fionn is, if you haven’t guessed it by the choices he’s been making lately. He’s having a super year and hopes you’ll keep coming back for more clips. Have any suggestions for our shaggy bottomed friend? Go ahead and leave them in the comments box below. You just might inspire this canine thespian!

Arthur Dent: It must be Thursday. I never got the hang of Thursdays. All my life I’ve had this strange feeling that there’s something big and sinister going on in the world. Well, just wait a sodding minute! You want a question that goes with the answer for 42? Well, how about what’s six times seven? Or how many Vogons does it take to change a lightbulb? Here’s one! How many roads must a man walk down? Fine. Fine, take those questions. Because my head is filled with questions and I can assure you no answer to any one of them has ever brought me one iota of happiness.
Except for one. The one. No question matters more than… do you have your Towel?
