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.

Just a technicality. We anal folks must point these things out or we'll die. ;)

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 :whistling:

 

Either name works for me so voted "Don't care"

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? :yes:

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. :)

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.

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.

Agreed! I voted don't care too, but you are right Corrine! 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). :thumbsup:

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.

I voted for "edge". It's more, ahhh, 'edgy'. :hysterical:

 

Also, I can better quote myself that way, from that original missive to Jeber.

 

Or quote Corrine quoting me... :whistling: :lol:
