V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) If you were aiming to name this area in honor of the Adams' Hitchhiker's series, it's actually... ...the END of the Universe, not the edge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Restauran...of_the_Universe Just a technicality. We anal folks must point these things out or we'll die. (Edit Note: Poll edited per http://forums.scotsnewsletter.com/index.ph...st&p=343085 ) Edited February 17, 2012 by Corrine Updated poll.

Corrine Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 The difference is that we're just on the edge, not the end. Cluttermagnet and Temmu will keep us from going over the edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hmm... I think both of them are already over the edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 OK, If I am able to add a poll on someone else's topic, you will see a poll to decide whether we should keep the name of The Restaurant at the Edge of the Universe, or change it to End of the Universe. Vote now Either name works for me so voted "Don't care" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Oh, I don't really give an at's rass. We could have called it "The Last House At the End of Road" for all I care. Hey! I'm thirsty. Didn't there used to be a Water Cooler 'round here somewhere? Pssst, feeling better, Fran? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yes, feeling better but still tiring out way too easy! Really knocked the stuffin's out of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

securitybreach Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yeah I thought that too until I researched Well I have to vote for end of the universe as I am listening to one of the books read by Douglas Adams himself: Life the Universe and Everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patio Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I could have sworn we has a Software/Applications sub-forum here... Or am i mistaken ? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Ah! But if you read the books, you may remember that "end" is referring to the end of time, not a distance measurement. I don't think you can get to the "edge" of time. I see more sense in using "end" in the title, but I voted null. I figure what you guys come up with is fine by me.

Guest LilBambi Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Not so sure about that Eric. There's always the Event Horizon on a Black Hole....that's an Edge if I ever saw one. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Yes, so folks realize what we were trying to emulate here....end would make more sense I guess...I voted don't care but would be very happy to go either way with it.

abarbarian Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 If you use END will that not leave Scots open to a copyright witch hunt by sopa and pipa and wackca tom cobbly and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 LOL Could be ... but don't think so. We could always change it to be a combo of both HGG and ST:ToS by calling it: The Restaurant at the Edge of Forever ST:ToS - City on the Edge of Forever Or The Restaurant in the City on the Edge of Forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrine Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Although I voted "don't care", I really think it should stay edge. The reason for the renaming was based on this: I think you really ought to tell them all the truth. You can call this place the Tiki Lounge but this is really The Restaurant at the Edge of the Universe. This surely is the outermost edge.

IMHO! I change my vote to Keep it as it is! So when you read the vote, deduct 2 from 'don't care' and add them to Edge of the Universe (keeping it as it is).

ross549 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Sadly, I think the writer for that particular episode is crazier than the SOPA/PIPA bills....... I remember reading about him somewhere, but can't recall where. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunrat Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Keep as is, I reckon. It's still an obvious HGG reference, but with a unique SNF twist. Then again, how far is it from Ankh-Morpork? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cluttermagnet Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) I voted for "edge". It's more, ahhh, 'edgy'. Also, I can better quote myself that way, from that original missive to Jeber. Or quote Corrine quoting me...
