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

well, thats muddling up the village and the town but you are kind of right. Theres a saying /song/ joke/ phrase that goes 'its grim up North,' but it isn't relly. At the other end of the village bypass there was a turkey farm. A friend of mine had a job there sweeping turkeys with a yardstick onto a metal floor, which gave them an electric stun before they went onto the processing line...

I never worked at either place.

Carborundum means to grind down, as far as I understand it. I did one year of latin at school (dead posh, cos I was in the top set, u see ) and I can't remember any of it except 'flavia sum arbore sedent', 'vedi, vidi, vici' and 'in vino veritas'

Never let the b******s grind you down...

in vino est veritas...

Amen

Although, isn't it ~veni~, vidi, vici since venio, venire, veni, (er, whatever the hell the fourth principle part is) since it means 'come,' and since the whole thing is supposed to mean, 'I came, I saw, I conquered,' (unless, of course, you translate it to mean I have come, I have seen, I have conquered)?


Ugh...Latin...

In any event, I've actually got to get running because I have a gig in an hour and still haven't started writing my paper for my chemistry project that is due tomorrow...

I'm glad I had the chance to talk with you today, Jen

Take care and I'll talk to you later

*stumbles out the door again, in hand*

cool as mate, some people just turned up IRL here...

gulps



laters dude

[Dylan] Oh, .

no language now

[Dylan] What, not even English??

u know what i mean

:-S

what?

never mind

*overhearing the conversation from outside of the bar, he walks back in, takes his seat at the head of the Table, and orders three *


Ahem.

In all honesty, you've got to be f*****g kidding me...

Not only was Dylan polite enough to censor out whatever curse he was going to f*****g say with a , but, if in fact he did say some swear like 'f**k,' or 'b*****d,' or 's**t,' and so on and so forth, he is more than entitled to do so until you ask him to f*****g cut it out in a very f*****g polite manner.

Capice, Goddamnit?




Look, lighten up for zark's sake. I mean, I'm sorry I'm probably grinding down on your nerves with all the swearing I just did but what you're doing when you order people to cut it out then give them a look honestly just grinds to a halt whatever fun we were all having. Ask them politely. Explain why. Talk for zark's sake. Say sometihng interesting, don't let it just degenerate to a bunch of smilies with angry remarks of telling people to stop cursing for example without any justification. I mean, the tension it creates could cut through glass.

So, *takes a long, thoughtful pull from his *
Tell us, Giga, what have you against, really only the smiley, , as that was the only thing Dylan said?

[There's a Met Hat (an invincible Japanese construction helmet) on the floor. Three pairs of eyes are peering out. Dylan, Zero, and Mega Man X are nowhere to be seen.]

....... *doesn't ask*

....







Oh, man, this is too good

*downs a annd then another a nd then another*

is it now

[Dylan] "Too good" is a contradiction in terms.

Blah

*drains his and orders a *

So, how's everyone doing?

i dunno bout everyone else but i'm good

[Dylan] I'm doing fine.

[Zero] Me too.

[MMX] Yep.
