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

Yes... I too would like to join... but what can I bring to the team? Ah yes... official bench warmer, ball-dodger, and heckler to opposite team...

I'll make em cry before they can even swing at the first ball!

Ok, welcome to the team! Don't forget to visit the clubhouse:

I'm already the official heckler of the opposing team. And I'm good at it.

Don't worry Icarus, I didn't give your position away

Thanks.

I notice you don't have a team bus-driver yet, so I'd like to volunteer. I can get you all to where you want to be and I can even do it by road if you'd prefer...

I'd also like to offer my services as club historian, so while I'm not showing you where you're going, I'd like to show you where you've been!

Sorry, Icarus... I had no patience to read the whole list...

What, no groundsman? Look at the state of that pitch. I'll bet you haven't hasd the grass cut in yonks. And as for the state of those lines! It makes me weep just to look at them. Thus I hereby volunteer to keep your ground spick and span for you. All I ask in return is free run of the bar at all times, and a say in what it stocks. Ta.

Mustapha: Ok, sorry about the delay, and welcome to the team. You are now the bus driver and historian. Keep one hand on the wheel and the other on the pencil. We'll see you in the clubhouse

Munchkin: Unfortunately, Frustreren has been our groundskeeper for quite some time. However, you can be the assistant groundskeeper if you want, or you can pick another position. Just let me know.

Vroom, vroom!

*reminds himself to stay off the road... and out of buses... and libraries... and historical digs... and...

Doh! Well, how about barfly? Or fixture secretary? I don't play softball so I'm not good on positions.

Barfly works great! But what is a fixture secretary?

Indeed... Enquiring minds want to know

The Club Secretary who organises the fixtures.

Fixture - organised time and place for a sporting game.

i.e. the bloke who organises when and where to meet the opposition.

Hmmm......Ginger already does our scheduling.......but we could use a secretary to answer the phones and get me coffee (just kidding ). I'm holding barfly for you, but try again on the second position.......

Hmm what goes with being a barfly? Clapped out ex-player perhaps? Keeper of miscellaneous wisdom on the game? I will try to think of more.

Pub Quiz Organiser? All good pubs need one. It will go nicely with the bar fly too.

Perfect! I'll get round to signing you up soon. One question - you seem to be changing your name a bit, so what do you want me to put up on the roster? Munchkin?

Incidentally, I see you've posted to the misfit newsletter. This is just a reminder that you don't need to post there again - I'm using it for updates and trying to keep the forum thread from getting too long (I know, too late!). But keep an eye on the forum for periodic news. Thanks

Munchkin will be grand. I will change me name as and when I get bored so stick with plain old Munchkin to avoid confusion.
