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

Pleased to meet you!

What are you doing with this? It's good. The title is a gem in itself .

Would you mind if I offered it for Peer Review (maybe leading to putting it in the Edited Guide)? Depends what you want, of course. Not all the criticism there would be helpful. Some of it, though, would be better than helpful, it would be friendly.

Up to you. Let me know.

"Pleased to meet you too!"

Traveller in Time on his head
"What are you seeing in this. Does it lack points of view, style or grammar?"

Nephew Who, just discovered a new feature on his console
"Would you mind telling us what Edited Guide means. Our conclusion now: it is a Brittan Guide not much other than CAG ... spaced out ... under( not located jet ) .... LibrarY.
Perhaps the remark on that single Front Page when edited, or the inclusion in the nindex."

silence for a few seconds, while Nephew tapping on his console and the others still collecting and reading the slept over log from home

Nephew Who, scratching his head In Three Minds
"Let me formulate it this way: we are thrilled to recognise some of our ideas. But we imagine to write such article you have formulated and imagined things delicate and without hurting any mind. Perhaps there is more beauty in dance then in a fight?"

<> lurking on his pipe
"Keep listening to the roaring sound of Chaos as it is written between the lines and feeling all imaginable emotions any researcher can have used to write."

"I used an old highschool essay as base for the mirrors, little addition of new information but same old style like a deja vu. I like Sisu. Why should it not be the same thought again?"

Susan Winkle aka Nephew Who comes in and walks straight to the chair near the fire place
"Hmm, I think I dare to ask you a quest ion. Perhaps you have read 'The Ancient Mariner'? Can you try to explain to me ( dyslectic non english tongue ) what it is about. We studied the file extensively but lack to comprehend it. I have got a pot full of mussels perhaps we can spend a while eating and discussing them."

Wow.
There are even more of you than there are of me, I think.
And a lot of questions.
Give me a minute to think, yeah?
(It's a little girl's birthday today...)

Nephew Who after a little conference with the little people
"Hmm, I guess we are suffering a little from sea legs, just returned from a fortnight building forts on the beaches of Home. Ok, All together now:"

A little disorder appears if the tele is switched off. The five year old girl bouncing her picachoo balloon ( three taped balloons and some fantasy ) the three year old boy stil building on a Duplo bridge big enough to crawl through. Eventually something like a chorus emerges:

"Happy birthday to you
Have a pickachoo or two
Happy Birthday little girl
Happy birthday to you
Abricosen in die Schuhe
Happy birthday to the loo
Happy birthday to you"

Traveller in Time on his head
"Sorry for the multi language part, they have been chatting with four nationalities recently, just mixing words together the last few days on the beaches of Home. And the final line is already a little moderated"

Nephew Who tapping on his console
"I had to rewrap this into html ( A1140012 ) after the waterrat fell asleep, hope 'little girl' is still awake to see."

It's lovely. Thank you! Verminette hasn't seen it yet, but I'll let you know what she says.
I think maybe you found some of my ramblings. 'In Three Minds' you mentioned. I was excited about the start of that piece, but then I couldn't sustain it. Sort of proving the point, really.
I don't know about 'Sisu', quite. (I like 'Crackle' better. You seen that one?) Sisu is what the Finns call their ethnic spirit, as you might know. Finns are among my favourite peoples.
I know an albatross too, but she's not a very serious one. Still, if you really want to know about the Rime of the Ancient Mariner, we could always ask her.

"You where Quite Right it was Cracle 'You will never recapture the selfsame thought.' triggering me about an old essay (hand written, glued magazine images, no puters around those days)"

Traveller in Time on his head
"Please ask the albatross she could be the insight we need."

Elbot Propellownose gliding down
"Hi there, have you managed to find me? I am a star on the white screen nowadays < A1145693 >."

Traveller in Time off any topic
"Your relatives are in big danger, lets catch some pirates before they catch you too."
