Brilliant stuff man.
I walked back into this town after some years of being gone,
and everyone's so d*mn quiet! Too quiet. I was wondering what was going on, and now I know. There's something sitting in some room somewhere,
and well that's just... well I guess it isn't just, but is just is.
mustn't say more though, must I?

Hippo in the bathtub = that could be US involvement with Columbia, or tense situations with North Korea or the rest of the Axis of Evil.

Vampire bat nested in the refrigerator = Turkey's treatment of the Kurds throughout the 1990s.

All we need to do is come up with a dictionary of codewords which we'd describe to each other outside of h2g2, then we could come back here and still talk about it! Yay! ...If there was any reason to remain that loyal to a site that doesn't work the way it's supposed to.

Ooh, you're tough. How would you express positive or negative opinions on what is going on in such a system?

I'm pro-bush.
