My husband is turning 42 this November (yes, I plan things early) and
wants a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy party. Since you were so
helpful for his Jimmy Buffet party I thought I'd ask here for food
suggestions. I'm thinking munchies/snacks, rather than a meal.
TIA,

Maybe some cookies to match the towels from Restaurant? White and yellow
stripes, pink flowers, brown stains.

To make a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster using Terran ingredients:
Take the liquid contained in a 200 ml bottle of EverClear to remind you
that your head will be clear forever if you drink too many Pan Galactic
Gargle Blasters, and that your brain will clear of anything soon after
you start drinking some, if not before.
Into it, slowly pour a 750 ml bottle of Bombay Sapphire to remind you of
the marvelous beauty of the old Santraginean seas, or an equal amount of
Jeremiah Weed in acknowledgement of what has happened to the Santraginean
Seas and their lifeforms.
Now add 750 ml of Cold Wild Turkey, letting it run into the mixture as we
run through life to remind us of all the lifeforms we meet and experience
while hitchhiking through the galaxy.
Speedily stirring, add 375 ml of Herradua Tequila, mixing it in to
commemorate the galactic hitchhikers who died of pleasure among the
vapors and gasses in the marshes of Fallia.
Over the bowl of a silver spoon, let flow 1 liter of rum in memory of the
waterfalls and their glorious rainbows encountered on your journeys
through the galaxy of life.
Next, drop in the worm found in a bottle of Musquil, watching it dissolve
into the mixture. If the bottom falls out and the worm survives, drink at
your own risk.
Finally, sprinkle into the mixture some Gatorade to commemorate the
lifeforms which have vanished and are becoming extinct, both sentient and
non-sentient, especially those most in need of aid.
If this many Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters are too many for the number of
people you think you are, mix together the following amounts of
ingredients as described above for a single serving.
1 oz. EverClear
4 oz. Bombay Sapphire or Jeremiah Weed
4 oz. Cold Wild Turkey
2 oz. Herredura Tequila
5 oz. Rum
1 worm from bottle of Mezcal
2 oz. Gatorade
This makes one approximately 18 ounce Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. The
reason this drink seems so large is that Zaphod Beeblebrox has two heads,
so when he created it, it came out to 9 ounces per head, so both were
happy.
Before drinking, eat one olive to create a sweetness in it which is not
there.
Drink very, very extremely carefully at your own risk, and remember where
your towel is (if you can).
