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

Simulpost.

A touch of Sartre?

hey there, it's Roadkill Brady!

What's the matter with you, Roadkill? Don't you have anything earth-shatteringly, heaven-shatteringly, bowel-shatteringly amazing to tell us all in order to move this thread along a bit???

By the way, how was you day?

*waves*

All right. Just finished producing The Importance of Being Earnest.

Unfortunately not. I meant to ask about the weather, but I was going to talk about cirrus clouds, but then I wasn't sure if I really meant horsetail, or cumulonimbus. It is irrelevant! We're all men here, aren't we, ladies?

Yeah well, I was just finishing up my work on the cure for cancer, but think I'll have a ciggy now and relax for abit.

*Tosses across a lighter*

Doesn't work, I'm afraid. Stage prop.

But dahling! Whatever do you mean?

Well, I found it in a handbag in the Victoria station, Bristol line.

Well, that sounds just like you, doesn't it?

Anyhow, where is that Noggin chap? I'm almost certain we had been discussing something interesting and possibly bowel-shattering. Though I've been mistaken about this sort of thing before, and more than once, to be honest.

looks like everyone but you and me have left the building, Roadkill

And where has Fnord been since his last attempt at being funny?

I don't like it when he disappears - makes me imagine step-father nastiness going on.

Perhaps he is just working on his jokes . . .

That would appear to be the case.

As for mistakes, I'm sure it must be down to you not being sure if you're french or english .

That'll be the ole Canadian myth rearing its ugly head once again - that all of us are bi-lingual. I wish! But most of my French vocabulary comes from food packages, I'm afraid.

N'est ce pas?

Feves au lard, etc

I think we should all learn a new language- Espleranto. Free from all emotion.

Roadkill Brady!

How could you say such a thing? I always thought you loved emotions. What am I going to tell your father when he gets home?

It is a sacrifice I am willing to make, in order that I might free myself from any moral code.

Darling! You aren't saying you want to be a . . .a .. . nihilist!

Oh, that word has far too many "cake and coffee, Brady bunch" associations for me. I think I'll change the meaning of atheist instead.

And right you are too. But I thought you were a buddistist. Well, never mind. The good thing about this thread is that all of us can be whatever we want to be. I'm going to stick to being a pantheist until a better word comes along.

I'm a buddhistist, it's true. But I don't think buddhism makes any provision for God (correct me if I'm wrong.....are you there, Esplen?), though it doesn't specifically exclude Him either.
