Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster

An alcoholic drink described in Douglas Adams's book, The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy also mentions alcohol. It says that the best drink in existence is the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.

It says that the effect of drinking a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick.

The Guide also tells you on which planets the best Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters are mixed, how much you can expect to pay for one and what voluntary organizations exist to help you rehabilitate afterwards.

The Guide even tells you how you can mix one yourself.

Take the juice from one bottle of the Ol' Janx Spirit, it says.

Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V - Oh, that Santraginean sea water, it says. Oh those Santraginean fish!!!

Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzine is lost).

Allow four litres of Fallian marsh gas to bubble through it, in memory of all those happy Hikers who have died of pleasure in the Marshes of Fallia.

Over the back of a silver spoon float a measure of Qualactin Hypermint extract, redolent of all the heady odours of the dark Qualactin Zones, subtle sweet and mystic.

Drop in the tooth of an Algolian Suntiger. Watch it dissolve, spreading the fires of the Algolian Sun deep into the heart of the drink.

Sprinkle Zamphour.

Add an olive.

Drink ... but ... very carefully ...

(The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy sells rather better than the Encyclopedia Galactica.)

--Douglas Adams
"Never drink more than two Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters unless you are a thirty-ton mega elephant with bronchial pneumonia."

Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster

A potent mixed drink created by Zaphod Beeblebrox. It's the alcoholic equivalent of a mugging -- expensive and bad for the head.

The Great Galactic Wars

The Great Galactic wars were a conflict between the Reptilian/Draconian E.T's and the Lyrans, and the Galactic Federation that lasted millions of years, and ended millions of years ago. The war started because the Reptilians wanted to colonize the same planets and they encountered the feline race -Lyrans from Vega, Lyra constellation. The Reptilians wanted to enslave everyone in the Universe,Enslave Lyrans, and occupy them. But the war later became a war between the Light and the Dark, the Reptilians, supported the idea of Service to self while Lyrans-service to others. In that horrible times, many of Lyrans were brutally murdered, seperated, enslaved, but many good warriors also rose. The Reptilians were low-vibrational beings, they act like animals , make jokes about murder sometimes while fighting, and are ruled by their animalistic impulses. Throughout the war a few planets in the Lyra constellation were destroyed. Fortunely, the war ended , the Reptilians still aren't serving the light (some if them are and they rebelled) and are just neutral. Some of them are evil.
- did you fight in The Great Galactic Wars in your past life?
- Yes, I did. The war left a big mark on my soul and my personality. It's tearing me apart every day.

Galactus

A character is Marvel comics that wields the Power Cosmic, oft said to be the most powerful being in the Marvel Universe. He spends his time using his God-like powers to devour planets in order to feed his massive body and the energy it requires. Standing from 50-1000 feet tall depending on differing accounts, and weighing in at 250 tons, Galactus is considered nearly invincible due to his god like powers.

Galactically Stupid

When something obvious is not recognized by someone who sees that obvious thing on a regular basis, this level of stupidity is reached.
Lois Lane is galactically stupid for not realizing that Superman is actually Clark Kent.

Galactic Force Band

An obscure funk/disco group that released one album, "Spaced Out Disco" in 1978. They would've been shoved into the dust bin of obscurity were it not for this one little tune called "Space Dust". Somehow, this funky little jam attracted attention & has been sampled in numerous songs, including: "It Takes Two" by Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock, "I Wanna Rock" by Snoop Dogg, "Old Skool" by Dizzie Rascal, etc...
Ed: Yo man, this song's got a real fly beat goin' on. I think I heard that beat from somewhere...

Fred: That's from the Galactic Force Band.

Ed: Really? Never heard of them dudes before.
