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

I'll join too, but my hand eye co-ordination is crap and I can't catch acold so I think the best position for me would be the ball, just don't hit me too hard

Alright, now we have a bat and a ball! Welcome, Shorty

I wanna join! Please. But only under the condition that I can be in charge of making sure that the softballs haven't been "loaded" (i.e. cheating), and rectifying that problem by loading them myself. I'm not sure how to go about doing that right now, but I suppose I could learn...

Oh, also I'll be in charge of bringing desserts if you haven't found anyone yet suitable for that auspicious office.

Loading the ball can be difficult, but the bats on the other hand.....


He, he, he.....

THANK YOU, Mr TV's Frink, Sir! The TVR can be found on the Universal Alcoholic Table page and stands for Tequila, Vodka & Red Bull.

I'll stand you one next time we're in the Clubhouse...

Pegleen O'the Bats...

PS (Is the H2G2 softball team, then, a Zen softball team - the teams which we would assemble and play, if we could all get in one place?)

Ok Amanda, you are on the team, in charge of doctoring both the bats and the balls. Welcome!

Jimi - don't worry about stealing work away from the clubhouse bartender - he never leaves the clubhouse, so we need you out on the field

I would like to be the official Guy Who Stands About Saying Witty Things. Either that or The Guy Who Irritates The Other Team So They Miss. Or both. I could say witty things that irritate the other team.

How about official team chatterer? You are now on the team, so let's hear you say "hey batter batter!"

By the way, I've been unable to come up with anything besides the oatmeal thing for I.C.A.R.U.S. Please consider it my official entry.

I'm a brand-new researcher, haven't even set up my home page.
I thought I would lurk a little bit and find out more about
the local customs before I came out. The last first thing I
thought I would EVER do is jon a softball team.

But you don't have an astrologer!

I volunteer for the position.
Asteroid Lil

Welcome Asteroid Lil!

That wasn't chattering. It was rambling. They are two entirely seperate concepts.

too late, the roster has spoken

Nuts.

I can change it if you like.......the key is to give me a semi-short title, one that fits easily into my roster format. Chatterer seemed the best way to go, but other suggestions are welcome

OK Frink. Here is my application for the team! That blindfold was slipping rather badly anyway...

I am disappointed that the position of team philosopher is already gone, as is that of the ball. Nobody, seemingly, is the pitcher's mound yet, so I'll probably have to volunteer. In deference to whoever it was that took "very deep right field" (I can't remember, and I was only looking at it two minutes ago!) I'll also put my hand up for "very deep left field", in case the position of the mound should be unavailable!

Regards,

H.

How about heckler?

Sounds good to me......what do you think, Icarus?

Sure. Providing it is understood that it is specifically the other team that I'm heckling. Can't have me heckling my own team. That would be counterproductive.

New official position for Icarus: "Heckler (of the opposing team)"

Ok Hypoman, glad to see you finally threw your hat in the ring. You are signed on as very deep left field and the mound. Of course, you'll have to play both positions at once. I suggest starting as the mound, and then running out to deep left if the ball is hit there. We don't want to overwork our other outfielders........
