Hang out with Rincewind in the Tower of Art. Chill with the Lady Sybil Vimes. Eat Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibblers Sausage Inna Bun.

I understood maybe 20% of that sentence.

Even the wikipedia page on the Discworld is hilarious.
Example: The Mended Drum, formerly the Broken Drum (old motto: "You can't beat it"), it changed it's name after the fire to The Mended Drum(" You can get beaten")

Only if those wee small men would stop following me around. Made the last trip totally unbearable!

I'd like to see her walk into the Watch bar. It's a toss-up as to which would happen first, Diana attacking Nobby or Angua attacking Diana.

Well just warn her that there are any maps (yes i know that's the most clever thing i could think of).

Of course not. There's no maps.

And yet once upon a time Pratchett said you can't map a sense of humour...

Sure you can. It's right there!

I'd love to see Diana v Granny Weatherwax in a staring contest.
My money would be on Granny mind.

Seriously though superheroes are a topic that Pratchett hasn't tackled yet in Discworld.
That is one very rich seam of satire unmined there.

Or Sam Vimes and Bruce Wayne joining forces on a case.
My money is on Sam Vimes running Batman out of the city.

Perhaps, although I could also see a Jim Gordon style relationship forming between the two.
I would also love to see pictures of a number of Superheroes trying to eat "A sausage inna bun." It should be comedy gold

I don't think Vimes would like Batman at all because Batman hides himself and is not accountable to anybody.

Vimes doesn't like anyone. He just has various degrees of dislike. I mean, he loves his wife, but like…well, let's just say it's better or worst depending on whether or not he'd have to wear the feathers.
Now, Superman meeting Carrot and Green Lantern using his ring to ensure that Nobby is human. That's what I would love to see.

using his ring to ensure that Nobby is human.
Is the ring really that powerful?

It'll probably explode while doing so.
And then Nobby'll nick it.

I just saw the Colour of Magic from Skyone and though I enjoyed it, I think the principal three characters are miscast. Solid casting on everyone else. From Jeremy Irons as The Patrician to David Bradley as Cohen and everyone in between, including the fantastic Tim Curry. Just Two-Flower, Rincewind and even the CGI Luggage were not as a I pictured them in my head and it was more than a little jarring at some of the bits.
