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

You didn't have Steinbeck shoved down your throat in high school?

*gently strokes Jinx' head and back*

Yeah, I know, you don't understand much of what I say. Don't worry my dear, you're not alone.

Am I alone in not being replied to?

*jumps up on Lupa's lap and purrs gently.*

Purr.

Nope... I didn't get that far. Maybe because Steinbeck still had to be born

One man conspiracy you say? shucks, there goes my cover!

I was quite fond of the old name indeed. But there were three reasons for changing it. In order of increasing importance they are:

1. sometimes one has to move on, and Festival has outlived his usefulness.
2. I wanted to do the TAFKAF thingy (see my intro)
3. I was inspired by the skeletons-discussion between you and me

Absolutely not! I just didn't notice your presence yet, sorry for that!

Yes, well, you should be. I've been promoted to Devilish Fiend and I do have smiting privileges, you know.

I think I should warn you that I do respond to intimidation very poorly.

*steals Jinx's mouse*

you naughty cat!

*'iaow*

(cats never pronounce the "m".)

Prrrrr? Lisa hungry again?

*thinks: good thing those mice breed like rabbits *

*releases another couple of mice, then scurries off into the kitchen to prepare some fresh meat and milk*

Number three I guessed; number two is incredibly silly and therefore puts you in line for a smiting.

Good. All the more reason to smite you.

Ok, then smite me

Don't threaten! Just *do* it, so I can haunt on!

*riaow*
(cat's pronounce "m" as "r")

*tries to follow skeleton but the door to the kitchen is shut. Turns to look at her naughty friend who is still sitting on Lupa's lap*

*riaow*

*raow*
(many cats pronounce "mi" as "r" )

*door opens*

*comes out with a plate containing two bowls of fresh meat and two bowls of milk*

Here you go, my little friends, enjoy!

*enjoys*
