h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

No <BB< a Diety would have demanded as an offering before it would even listen too you.

*Waves note*

Hey - you wnat to know what it says or what?

SiO2, be reassured. This is absolutely normal for the salon.

Wait a minute - what is this thing you call 'normal'? Sounds nasty to me somehow, not sure why...

'Normal'...? Never heard of it.

<BB<

Normal is just another distribution, guys. Relax.

I'd settle for 'usual' or 'common' but 'normal'? no

I meant the trick

I heard about normality once, didn't like what I heard.

'We have normality. I repeat, we have normality. Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own problem.'

<BB<

Oh, *that kind of normality is fine with me!

*unfolds the note*

*holds breath, waiting for The Note to be read*

*hoping it migt not take too long before it happens *

If they ask us to "Take me to your leader" - do we point them straight at Lil or should we consider having Ampton and Matina open dialogue on our behalf first?

In my experience, the first thing written on the top of a note is 'Bread' followed by 'Milk' and 'Free Range Eggs'...

<BB<

It would be best if they say "Take me to your landlord."

*begins practising 'Klaatu barato nikto' under her breath*

*starts reading aloud*

*turns note upside down*

Pastey, you need to allow upside down text to be shown properly - or teach me how to format text in postings...

Have you tried standing on your head while looking at the monitor?
