Hi All,
My husband is turning 42 and I was wondering if any of you (nerdy/geeky/science-y) people out there have any ideas on how to play up the "42 is the answer to everything"...quote?
For those not familiar this is a quote from the book "The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy"...and in my house this is funny and quoted often.
Any creative ideas? I am not uber crafty but I am also not afraid to try anything.
So far, I am taking him to dinner at this 5 star all 'green' gastro-pub that has 52 different beers on tap and another 60 in bottles, all organic and local foods, everything is made from scratch... and they just so happen to have recycled benches from his HS, even though we do not live in the same city he went to HS in, which I thought was pretty cool!
Then after dinner, i am taking him to the local community college's planetarium for a realistic simulation of the science of black holes, which I thought he would dig...and I heard the planetarium is amazing!
But that's all I got. My husband is a computer guru for a living and a total brainiac, science freak! If I can find a way to play this '42' theme up he will think it's pretty cool...so will the teenage boys!
As always, any and all opinions welcomed and appreciated!
Thanks Ladies!

How about go on a "hitchhiker" trip. Jump in the car, drive and book a hotel (ask for room with number 42) and have fun. I think just doing something is fabulous. You don't want to overexhaust the number theme otherwise it gets cheesy... more cheesy than we geeks can handle.
He definitely needs a towel. And a bathrobe, a la Arthur Dent. And a Scrabble game. Leave it open on the table, and spell out "What do you get when you multiply...."
the towel was what i was thinking, Can you set it up with the bartender ahead of time that your order a pangalaxtic gargle blaster or what ever exactly the name of the drink was.
how about dessert being a Earth shaped cake complete with fjords?
lol i love this what a geek i am.
You could add a fake third breast and dress up as Eccentricita Gallumbits.
Some kind of hitcher's kit. Has to have a towel. If I can remember anything I will repost. Can you put together an "outfit" for you or the boys?
Get someone in a cow costume to chat up which parts might be tastiest. Maybe you can get the two boys to do this, on video, and then play it before you sit to dinner at the gastro pub.
I second the towel.
Also, try for some mice. Scroll through this article for a nice desert mouse.

Enjoy.

Does he/yall have the Hitchhikers set in hardcover? I assume you have the DVD? I know... not very creative but my brain is not at its best today.
Give him a monogrammed towel?

Give him a bag with a towel, a small plastic fish, and a good Douglas Adams book in it.
