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

This looks like a cosy little corner...anyone mind if I sit here?

And if you're offering, mine's a vodka martini, stirred not shaken please.

*enters the room and sits next to she...*

Hello... You're new here, right? Well... I see that you're getting along quite well...

*turns to Menza, the barkeeper*

Are you here? If you are, I'd like another , please...

*turns back to she...*

So how are you?

*wonders if he shouldn't have asked that one directly when he came in... *

Perhaps you shouldn't PP...people might get jealous...

Not that I'd get jealous or anything...erm...erm... This is a really big hole I've just dug for myself... I'll have a please...

*LOLs... Then again, it should be LsOL... PP's confused... *

Sorry, E... But there is really... *really*... absolutely no reason for other people to get jealous... Because if people did get jealous that easily, some other people would have to be jealous all the time...

*looks around*

Oh well... Sorry, she... This wasn't really anything important... If you didn't understand it, never mind...

*E is confused*

Sorry, I get jealous very easily...

Let me quote from memory... Not the HHGTTG, for once...

"You have to have something in order to be jealous of it..."



*realises that this isn't very good a quote to stop E from being jealous... Rather the contrary... *

*blushes*

it doesn't matter if i'm confused?

{clears dry throat}

that's good then.

Oh, no, she... Being confused is the state most researchers are in constantly (judging by me... ) So never mind...



*clears dry throat*

I wonder where the drinks are... Menza seems to be away... Well... We'll make it self-service, then...

*walks behind the bar, gets she a vodka martini, stirred not shaken, and a for himself and E...*

Cheers!

{happily quenches thirst}

thankyou PP. who/what is Menza? and may i have another please, to wash down my doughnuts.

Thanks PP...

Menza's the barkeeper...

hello there

would you like some apple and cinammon pie with vanilla ice cream? home baked

Welcome to the Forum and Firkin, I'm Mad Hatter and the pub cook. Menza may find this thread later - he's the landlord. Don't go down into the cellar on your own - there's a scary tentacle there. And if you find a ahem rather large ahem kitten, then let me know and give it any cake you happen to have on you.

home-baked vanilla ice cream? sounds intriguing.

it took me a while to find your reply, but hello, and pleased to meet you.

i'm not sure i like the sound of that tenticle, but i generally like kittens {so long as they're friendly}, although i don't often have cake on me {unless i've been to a rather riotous party where someone has started a food fight*}

Are you really a hatter, or just mad? either way, i don't mind.


*this never happens

well, home frozen then
though I do like cooking baked alaska as it rather worries the Brownies until they eat it! then it is smiles all round.

I'm fairly mad - an atmospheric physicist, no less. And as for a hatter - well I am nearing Bluebottle's challenge (in the Post) for getting 42 hats. I just wear them, occasionally decorate them, but I'm not a hatter as I don't actually make them.

If you don't have cake on you, then go to the servery in this forum and you'll find cake there a plenty.

Kitty is very friendly, that's the trouble. It is like a full size doberman being friendly, only worse.

i like mad. i can relate to it.

it's good to know that your name is reasonably appropriate. i had difficulty choosing a name, but then my opening page sort of gave it to me. it's short, snappy and surprisingly accurate.

that is to say, it's not the name itself that's surprising, but that i've actually got something accurate.

My name used to be "Ændr, The Mad Hatter, likes hats, not sane, FEMALE" which was even more accurate. But I changed it last week in the hope that people had learnt I was female and wouldn't call me Mr Hatter.
Menza threatened to punch the person who had stolen the rest of my name on the nose.

hopefully i won't have any problems with people calling me 'Mr she', although perhaps i'm being a bit optimistic, given the people i've met so far! although i do worry that perhaps my name is underdressed compared to everyone else. i mean, three letters barely covers my personality.

understatement is good for you
it lets all the people round here keep guessing for a bit

anyway, I think you might like to visit the court of the bludragon at http://www.h2g2.com/A230545

I'm the royal baker there

(you may have guessed my primary role in h2g2...)

Well, I think everybody managed to push my replies firmly out of the way so that they now look totally out of place...

Hmm...I feel neglected...

No, I suppose I don't, not really... Honest, I don't mind...
