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

Wow! *climbs atop elephant* Now , which way was switzerland?

I'm glad to see our resident pyromaniac decided to join us....I here the Alps burn quite nicely this time of year...

*points in all directions, by spinning rapidly and promptly falls over* Switzerland is that way!

Fire is good.

Dr. D

I have pledged to go forth, and I have clean shoes. *humbly*

Why do i get the feeling that i will have to make a bigger portable beer fridge before we go anywhere *sigh*

The Intrpeid disciples,
Baron"Bear"Slide, finder of the map
monsy, chief requsitions officer
'Nonnie, tithing clerk
Linus, fridge porter
Dr.D., Provider of Dementia
Bluebottle, Match Provider (for Burning down of Alps)
Fairly Strange, Inventor
Mari-rae, in humility and clean shoes
and the disciple whom Marv loved, and is the chronicler of this tale,
were ready to make haste to the land of the Alps in search of the Lost Ark of the Brownies.

Allright everyone...choose your favourite flavor of elephant...

Is everyone ready to rock?

Whick way was that again?

WAIT! We should break brownie before we begin our quest!

The intrepid aforementioned disciples I'm not going to have to mention them every time am I? gave thanks for the Brownies and breaketh them, and knew that the Marv the Archbishop was upon their quest, and behold a pillar in the shape of a Brownie came forth and led them on their way.

*DD gets out correction fluid vellum coloured*


*and writes*

and the blessing of Marv the Archbishop was upon them

*Points in THE direction*

Packoderms (spelled correctly?) HO!!!

What Ho! for the Ponderous Pachyderms are parading piously FORTH!

I'm glad i've got a pachyderm to carry the beer fridge !!!!

Now if some one would just tell me how to steer it..........

These elephants were specially selected by myself for their ability to respond to voice commands...Just tell it what to do, my Brother...and it will do..

Alright, i'll give it a try:

*reads name tag*

Ok, Thirsty, can i have a beer from the fridge thanks, and get yourself one while you are there !!!

*much impressed by the competence and alacrity with which this task is carried out*

Oh, you better follow the Baron as well

*Unfolding a lounge chair atop her elephant (the one with the blue and white stripes - the elephant not the chair. The chair is aluminum with plastic pink webbing stretched across, and a pillow and an umbrella attached. The umbrella has images of kittens on it and oh sorry, I'm getting lost in Trivia.)Anyway, In the lounge chair, on the blue and white striped elephant, under the umbrella, vodka and tonic in one hand, brownie in the other hand.*

Emma, (name of said elephant), to Switzerland please. And no hitchhikers unless they have food and/or drink and a belief in the True Brownie.

*sits astride enormous elephant named HUMUNGOUS (twice as big as the rest....Hey, I had to go find em' so I took the big one)*

*swills back three beers in 1.352 seconds scratches behind ear as train of packyderms lumbers into the great forest*

Look sharp, friends,....there are rumours that "The Horde" have been seen in these parts....

I wish you , my children, luck on your quest. I pray for you and give you these *special* Brownies. They will nourish you in your time of need. -Archbishop Marv

So with the *special* brownies and Archbishop Marv's blessing the caravan of pachyderms set forth with the disciples on their backs, and the disciple whom Marv loved was sat astride Historic (that being the given name of his elephant). And the fridge was in great demand, and all agreed it was a good job that Linus had stocked it well.

And Bluebottle went too, and Lo, he carried four and twenty varieties of match, lighter, dynamite and all equippment that maketh flame.

Worry not about the Horde, none who are not of the true faith can withstand my secret weapons!
