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

At the risk of producing the usual double order thats a of Grumpfuttocks for Bumblebee, a |_| of coke for BB, a of Grumpfuttocks for Ormy and one for me

...and a C|__| large Drumroll for Rocket Rod, sorry I didn't catch your order earlier RR.

I don't know anyone who dislikes simulposts

Hi guys, and thanks for the !
Yes, weird business over at Loony's place, wasn't it? Seemed like everyone was determined to be offended by anything anyone else said...
What they all needed was a few good pints of perspective, if you ask me.
Cheers! |_b

Aaahh! Thanks mate. I really appreciate that

Can I get a |_| of lemonade? Lectures are over for the day so I'm in a good mood

Only lemonade?...OK |_|.

I hope this gets delivered before it goes flat, H2G2 seems very slow today.

Thanks for |_|
Only lemonade because it is only the afternoon, and I don't have anything coming up which requires alcohol to get through

Neither do I. I'd still like a of Grumpfuttock's though!

LOL
Allow me
*hands over *

Cheers!
That's better! I can face up to all the problems I haven't got now! How are you today?

I see you are diversifying into bar work as well as doughnut dispensing Joanna I'll have a Grumpfuttocks if you are still serving please. Personally, I only drink when I'm awake

I'm fine... busy doing nothing much... you know how it is...

*Stumbles in door*
Phweew, now I know what you meant, I'm just back from Løønytunes place
I need a pint of Perspectives please! Make it a c|__|

Hi BS!
I'm particularly glad you're here because I've just written a second verse for "The Virtual Blues", the song I started yesterday.
It goes like this:

"Woke up last year,
Wanted my Guide Entries approved.
Logged on this mornin'
And h2g2 still ain't moved.
Slow subbin's got me sobbin'
I got them Virtual Blues again."

*hands over and c|__|*
I'm only serving here 'cause no one else seemed to be.
I'll stop now, I'm about to get thrown out of this computer room anyhow

LOL. Ormy that deserves a . With your permission I think I'll start an article, then folks can contribute verses as and when. I'll try and keep it up to date.

Thank you! Just call me Blind Orange Ormondroyd...
As for the article, great minds think alike - I was about to suggest that myself!

Check out http://www.h2g2.com/A268797. I need some help with the GuideML to arrange the verses and just tweaked verse 1 a bit, I hope you don't mind.

That's fine!
What GuideML tricks do you want to use? One obvious one that occurs to me is to do the lyric lettering in blue, which would simply mean surrounding the relevant bits of HTML with tags like this: .
