Wednesday DE

Morning all! By kind permission of Maru, I bring to you a Midweek Guest DE:

What strange devilry has Milliways committed in your brain? Are there mental associations or assumptions that you always make because of this game which would be completely bizarre or nonsensical to a non-player?

I'll start:
- Matt Bellamy is not the lead singer of Muse but in fact a ridiculous hotshot space pilot. (Hi Wes!)

- The correct lyrics to a certain famous Nineties pop hit are "And I said what about//Breakfast at Milliways". As I discovered at a club last weekend when it played and I sang the correct improved lyrics...

- When very stressed, I repeat to myself the mantra of "All shall be well and all manner of things shall be well... timezones permitting." (I saw it on someone's icon back in the LJ days and it stuck.)

- "Let us not go to X... it is a silly place" is not a Monty Python reference, it's a Millicon motto. (And 'try not to die' is not a Runaways battlecry, but ditto.)

- "Dropped a house on her" doesn't recall The Wizard of Oz, but Puck and Blodwen, cariad.

I also do the Breakfast at Milliways song XD

I think the one most specific to me is that there are some pretty good and famous canons that I absolutely can't watch because people I know will die.

Oh, you've reminded me of when I started seeing commercials for </scorpion> and being confused by a Guppy.

Maybe if I had been watching Game of Thrones I would have been more confused. :D
