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

*Stops swimming across the ceiling and gets down to fetch another drink*
You know these are really nice but I think that maybe I've drunk to many
*hands Nexus a drink*
So you know your name...are you a Blade Runner fan or is it just a coincidence?
*forgets she's already gven Nexus a drink and pours him another*
Here have a drink

Thankyou most muchly. Is it TB or Tink? Or are we going formal?

Iguess you haven't checked out my page, then.

Vis-a--vis my nickname; well, I couldn't resist being one better than Rutger Hauer, could I?

*drinks quickly to get rid of the queue building in front of him.*

I need a Gargle Blaster...
*approaches kegs*
Hey! These are empty! You people drank ALL my Gargle Blasters?!?!?

Now what am I supposed to drink?

*produces from nowhere*

There you go...

"...Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All These moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die"

*suddenly realises she has some knowledge and gets quite excited*
Go on ask me anything about Blade Runner and I bet I can give you the answer
*realises this may not be one of her better traits so goes quiet again*

Anyway...I could only get to the top of your page as Bt has made it impossible to access anything...well ever But I did see that you're an English Lit graduate...so do you do language as well or just Lit...
*gets more excited*
because you might be able to help me with something. Owing to the fact that I seem to spend an inordinate amount of time in second hand book shops I found a 18something copy of a fairly tatty book called "The Earth Breath and Other Poems" which are by someone called only A.E. the poems are really beautiful and I'd quite like to know who wrote them...I can tell you the publishers if that helps...
*suddenly realises she's gone too serious so goes to fetch another drink*
Err is it too early to start dancing?

Ahhh...that hits the spot.

Now, off to the destruction I just caused at S.T.U.M.P.E.D.!!!

Well done.

I like destruction.

Umm. dunno about the Earth Breath poems or whatever. I'm not the best for verse, y'see. Can't write poetry for toffee. Even worse at appraising or criticising it.

Okay then, to rise to the challenge, in the original Theatre version of BR, what does Deckard say his ex-wife (I think it's his ex-wife... been a long time since I saw that one...) used to call him?

Darn, you could have at least pretended to know, it's been annoying me for weeks now

Anyway as I only studied the directors cut and the million other film versions it's unfair to ask me about a Theatre version (unless you mean the original Directors Cut and I'm just being foolish) but anyway I'd guess at Deckard sitting in the White Dragon Noodle Bar arguing with the a manager over the amount of food he can eat with the voice over saying "Sushi, that's what my ex wife called me. Cold Fish"

Ten out of ten. Outstanding...

*grins at the fact that she's finally found something she knows*
Aaah that was easy...you need to try harder
*passes the time by dancing in the corner*

Okay then; another easy one. What're the flying vehicles (ie the ones that go whizzing past in the opening LA shot) called?

Evening all,

don't know anything about BR, but can I have one of those fabulous drinks Tinkerbell told me about?

You mean the spinners?
*continues to dance*
Anyone know where Jin is? He hasn't shown up today...
*carries on dancing*

Greetings!

Run out of drinks yet? Here's a CD player I stole from the S.T.U.M.P.E.D. torture...I mean, initiation chamber. It might liven things up a bit.

Okay then; try this on for size.
Roy Batty is rated A for both physical and mental attributes. What are Leon's ratings?

*looks mildly disapproving at the cool corrupt ones name*
Isn't that a bit viscious?
Ooh do you have more of those fun drinks,
*gets excited again*
I liked them and Ringo here needs one to
Wanders over to CD player...what Cd's did you manage to err...borrow?
And by the way I have to ask this what's S.T.U.M.P.E.D and why are you being initiated?

Yeah, I'm known for causing trouble throughout h2g2. I must get it from my older cousin, Colonel Sellers.

S.T.U.M.P.E.D. stands for Sinister Thinkers Unleashing Multifarious Pernicious Evil Deeds (that's a mouthful). In other words, it's h2g2's resident evil society. And the initiation is spending three full days in a pitch-dark booth with the other would-be villains, listening to Weird Al's "Albequerque" the entire time. They've also played H*nson. Go look in the initiation forum there to see what I've done during initiation *snickers evilly*.

And the CD player in question was the one I stole from the initiation booth....but you guys need to supply your own CDs (unless you REALLY want to listen to what's in there).

And here you go, Ringo, one big Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, on the house!

I think she avoided the question.

And I feel no need to visit STUMPED thanks.

Yep, chalk one up to me, perchance.
