The Boozerama Bar is a series of "bars" on the EV board. One day, an average joe named Ultimate Rebel posted a little post titled "Boozerama Bar." Little did he know he was starting a legend, and a lot of spoon fights. Over the months (wow, it seems longer) many people have posted at the bars, some (like me) have been regular barflys since the first couple.

I (because I'm bored) have compiled all the bars I can find. They're hilarious. Actually, what's hilarious is if you actually read them all.

This post is for recounting old times and whatever.

Hopefully, it won't be locked, since it is related to something that's related to EV ( ), and half the people who actually visit this board go to the Boozerama Bar anyway.

And for history a little further back, the Boozerama takes its name from the Boozarama in the original Escape Velocity:

Quote

Originally written by Matt Burch:
Ah, the Evildrome Boozarama. Built out of the remains of a crashed freighter, this bar is frequented by some of the roughest characters in the galaxy. A starship captain can be shot on sight just for parking his ship on some pirate’s favorite landing pad.

Escape Velocity's Evildrome Boozarama, of course, took its name (along with a name for the planet on which it was located) from The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams, the second book of the five-part The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy:

Quote

Originally written by Douglas Adams:
'Remember the old days?' he said. 'We used to hang out, right? The Bistro Illegal, remember? Slim's Throat Emporium? The Evildrome Boozarama, great days eh?'
Hotblack Desiato offered no opinion as to whether they were great days or not. Ford was not perturbed. (The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy Complete Trilogy, page 221)

Yep, the whole thing started with some brain cells in Douglas Adams's brain.

And for anyone who hasn't read the HGTTG: You should. It's ideas are mentioned many, many times in EV.

Many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many times!
And besides:

the
single
funniest
book series on the planet!!! Duh!

(By the way, all that was just to accent each individual word.)

-Love, Rawzer

------------------
And now, something just like everything else.

Before I go get the book - and I probably will - I was wondering as to what the exact plot is. I mean, is it about a guy who lives in a very EV-like universe and his space adventures?

Remember that you are a unique individual - just like everybody else.

It's about a guy who gets his planet blown up and is forced to go into space, venturing to the magestic planet Mahgraeb! I just read the first one, and i'm starting the resturant at the end of the galaxy.

Plot? What plot?

The best description I can give you of the plot is the final sentence in the epilogue of SLATFATF:
"There was a point to the story, but it has temporarily escaped the chroniclers mind."

Yes. And that one, the first, was one of the funniest. My favorite, however, was number two.

Hey, I kept that topic alive! It would make it to the middle of list sometimes, and I brought it back up every time with an awesome story! Then you guys shredded through about 5 Boozeramas in a week and I was blown behind. It hurts when you're left out... :frown:

Hey, just think of my new motto which I'll soon forget:

"If life is going to fast for you, forget about it and have some fun!"

That's kinda hard when life is the only thing that's fun... :-

Life fun? Bah! Life itself is mostly stupid, boring, painful and monotonous. You have to make your own fun in life, because life itself sucks. Happiness comes from apathy and a good sense of humor.
