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

I suppose I could braid it and tie it around my waist.



Like the circus page. I always wantedd to be a wonder of the world.

You are definitely a wonder!

Yes I am! Right up there with the Sphinx and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

I'm starting to like the beard. It hides my double chin.

Now I have to decide on tattoos. What and where.

And get the machine ordered!

Dragons- all over your body

With Greebs taking a vacation, we can sell some of her s. No need for a machine!

Did she count them before she left?



After all that sugar, I need .

I like dragons. But I don't want to be just a dragon.

There's an old song that one of the folk groups used to do - maybe the Kingston Trio about a tattooed lady. I can't remember all of it. I'll have to google it.


I went to town to see,
That old tattooed lady.
She was a sight to see,
Tattooed from head to knee.
My uncle Ned was there,
He came to gape and stare.
"I've never", he declared,
"Seen such a sight so fair."

And on her jaw
Was a royal *something something.*
And on her back, was a Union Jack,
How could you ask for more?
All up and down her spine
Was a *something something* vine.
And all around her hips
Sailed a fleet of battle ships.
And over her left kidney
Was a bird's eye view of Sydney,
But what we liked best
Was upon her chest
My little home in Waikiki.

She says we can't sell any of her donuts. Selling her donuts will be *highly* frowned upon. I managed to talk my way into pleasing her before I heard a ~tang~

Ok, I won't sell any. Can we eat them?

You can sell them. Greebo won't notice

But if you hear a ~tang~ run!

What would be an appropriate smiley for a wonder of the world? Bearded or unbearded? I guess is as good as anything. If I leave off the .

I think we should bake Grebo some special s with catnip in them. We'll put a special icing on them so we know which ones they are.

whistle while you work...

*stirs up a batch of donut batter, adds freshly chopped catnip from her garden, rolls them out, cuts them and drops them into the hot oil*

Molly behave. I left you plenty of catnip to roll in. Sheesh! Cats can be so particular.

*removes donuts from the oil, dusts them with a mixture of powdered sugar and cocoa and puts them on a rack to cool*

Think I'll sample one while it's warn. Yummy! With only a slight buzz.

*packages the donuts in a pretty box and ties it with a bright blue ribbon-----finds a gift card and writes, "To Greebo from the Jodeus Brothers"*

Very good!

I hope Greebs isn't mad after this.

I just got back from another power outage! It's extremely annoying.

What do you mean mad???????????

I figure she'll like them so much that she'll be willing to let us sell the regular donuts in exchange for a fresh supply. but just in case...........I put your name on them.

Seriously, a man who used to work for my husband put catnip in his soup, made tea with it, (drank it by the gallons), used it for a garnish, used it any place normal people use mint. He was verrrrrrry mellow. Apparently it's addictive.

Really? People called Pocket, a man that eats catnip. What kind of town is that?!

Just your typical small town in the Midwest.

And now we have a bearded lady!

42

Webb City is lucky...

Oakwood is dull

But you have all of those exciting power outages.

And you're close to an actual city where they have things to do. We have to drive 2 hours to find anything to do. No wonder we use catnip.

42

Dayton? It's actually nicknamed the AVERAGE city!

On the plus side, we did get to test vanilla coke before anyone else How many times have I mentioned that now?

Seventeen

Be thankful it isn't Cleveland. Or Springfield. Did I mention that I spent a year in Springfield one week?

42

You did? Yes, Springfield escapes time and space.

It's near Dayton.

It was awful! Almost as bad as the 2 years I spent in Baltimore one month. Given a choice, I'll take Springfield. Baltimore is bizarre. Frank was supposedly transferred there and I went to hunt for a house. After 3 weeks I told him he was either going back to Texas or I wanted a divorce. I have never disliked any place so much in my life. And I've been to a lot of places.
