YOU ARE AT 42 IMPROBABILITY DRIVE ~=D
As you enter the Hoopy Frood Lounge from the door in the South East Corner you see on the wall directly to your right a circular O window facing the South with a cross + in the center of it.
Beyond it a bit is an old fashioned dark brick fire place with a Dark Brown Hard Oak ManteL.
It is covered with elaboorate carveings which are seeming to make It float above the fireplace. Inside the Fireplace are the remains of a few glasses that were shattered there after a toast was given as is done in Callahan's Crosstime Saloon.
It is believed if you throw the glass into the fireplace after making a toast it will make the toast come true like making a wish. Toasts have been made like wishs.
At the Hoopy Frood Lounge a red line was drawn on the floor 20 meters from the front of the fire place for use in throwing Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters. The line was moved 10 meters farther from the origenal Green line due to the explosion caused by someone throwing an incompletely drained Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster into the Fire Place.
TO MAKE A TOAST walk up to the line toeing it as it were. Anounce the toast being given. This can include comments, poems, puns, bits of songs, etc. related to the purpose of the toast. The shortest toast was one word, and the longest toast was a story about how the toast came about and why it was made.
Then you toss the glass into the Fire Place however you want to. This is often followed by cheers, dances, etc. in celebration of the completion of the toast. You can describe everything being done for those present. As The Hoopy Frood Lounge is a virtual Pub describing your actions while in it helps patrons picture what is going on. SHARE AND ENJOY.
Since Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters can not be used in a glass more then once before the glass starts to break down and it eats through the glass after two uses they are never used more thn once but put aside for toasts. They can be requested for toasts by asking for a Toasting glass.
WARNING : NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RESULTS IF YOU THROW GLASSES WITH PAN GALACTIC GARGLE BLASTERS IN THEM INTO THE FIRE PLACE. THROW EMPTY GLASSES IN ONLY FROM THE RED LINE..
Beyond the Dark Red Brick Fireplace in an alcove you can see a Dart Board. A dart has just landed in it just off center. A white line on the floor just beyond the fire place and to the right side of the bar indicates where to stand to throw the darts at it. DO NOT stand in front of dart board during Dart Game.
You hear a shout of " WELCOME TO THE HOOPY FROOD LOUNGE"!, and look a bit to your left seeing a Guy with glasses, wide brimed leather hat, a mustache, and short beard standing behind a long bar with leather covered stools in front. He introduces himself as Timeloyd the Lounge Tender, and a Galactic Philosopher. He also enjoys Puning and started a Puning Contest as well as being a Galactic Philosopher..
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DRINK OR EAT? Taimm asks as Virtual Food is served in this Virtual Lounge . MENU IS BELOW THIS DESCRIPTION WITH PICTURES OF ITEMS. "Have you ever done a Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Pub Crawl?" Taimm askes." You act like a being from the book talking and being like them. If someone seems to be talking unusual here they may be doing a Role Playing Pub Crawl in the Lounge. More infromation on it is below Chat access at HITCHHIKERS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY PUB CRAWL."
In the center of the bar are drink spigots. Near by sits a Microwave Oven for Sandwiches, etc.
A Refrigerator to keep some foods cold sits close to it.
Behind the Bar surrounded by Christmas Tree lights is a very large fish tank with weird alien looking fish in it. Above it is a very large mirror which seems to float there making the room seem even bigger including the open space with scattered tables and chairs between the Bar and the heavy wooden tables and benches fastened to the opposite wall ..
In the mirror is reflected the large fan in the center of the room hanging from the ceiling, and also a velvet paisley ~ covered Chesterfield Sofa with 2 matching pillows. The Sofa seems to move around. Rumor has it that it travels through time and that a force field appears arround it when it moves to protect you until it returns to the Hoopy Frood Lounge.
DO NOT GET OFF IT TOO LONG EXCEPT IN THE LOUNGE OR YOU MAY BESTRANDED IN ANOTHER DIMENTION AND HAVETO WAIT FOR IT TO COME BACK FOR YOU. You may share stories of what you see and experience on it while thy are happening..
Timeloyd cleans the counter and upon being asked he says the Bar is 24 feet long which is the opposite of 42 ~=D The answer to life, the universe and everything except on special occasions when it seems to be 42 feet long after too many Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters.
Music starts up and you look to your left. In the S.W. corner is a vintage Jukebox seemingly from the 1950's Earth with large tubular Red and Yellow blinking lights flowing curving over it and down it's sides. In the top center is a changeable selection of songs under which are buttons with letters and numbers to choose the songs. You consider playing one and anounce it's name.
You describe how you'r singing along or dancing to the music. Describe your actions in Lounge so patrons know what is going on.
To it's right against the wall is a large Platform with a metal pole and a Microphone resting on it. A dark brown 4 leged Stool stands next to it. A couple of chairs and another stool wait nearby. This you realize is where the Storytelling Contest, Open Mikes, and Punatons (Pun contests) you heard about takes place. Timeloyd likes to Pun.
A Guitar leans against the wall waiting to be played. Near it hangs an interesting looking Towel . It seems alive. A corner of it waves at you.
Above the Platform faceing North is a large stained glass window with a stained glass scene of the Disaster Area Stunt Ship with a Sun in the back ground that seems to make you feel as if you are having a great time traveling through the galaxy as you gaze at it.
Along the left side of the platform is the Wall Of Music which is called that because it is between the Juke Box and the Stage not because it contains only music. True there is a Gold Record by Elvis Presley, An album cover autographed by Joan Baez a Folk Singer, a Picture of Douglas Adams playing his Guitar,an autographed picture of Annie McCaffrey writter of The Dragon Riders Of Pern. A picture of Mister Spock of the U.S.S. Enterprise has the words above it ~ DON'T SMOKE LIVE LONG AND PROSPER. There is also a Certificate showing that Lloyd Timeloyd Rich's name was sent on a space explorer to Mars in 2003 , and another showing he is a member in the Discordian Society. a certificate shows he belongs to the C.I.A ~ Celestial Intervention Agency, and an Honorary Elf Certificate signed by S.

. Pictures of Guests who stopped by are here, as well as a picture of Timeloyd shaking hands with Euell Gibbons a great wild food Specialist of the 1970's on Earth, and a picture of Timeloyd wearing a jacket and leather hat arriving at a Galactic PotLuck Picnic his bike piled full of food with large water containers on handle bar horns and a backpack with his Galactic Towel on his back. There is also a group picture with Timeloyd at the BIONEER CONFERENCE in Carbondale, Illinois.
Nearby is a shelf containg FANTASTIC NOVELTY plaques Timeloyd won riding his decorated Bike with lights nd Reindeer on it in Carbondale, Illinois' Festival Of Light parade for Fantasatic Novelty Award since 2005.
There is an old faded tin type picture in a worn wide wood frame. It appears to be Timeloyd dressed in frimged leather clothes of the 18th Century with a Canvas Leanto in the background.. Was it taken of Taimm in another time ? Is Taimm a time traveler?
