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

French...law... I suppose there must be a connection there somewhere, but I'm not exactly sure where. (Absolutely, positively no offense meant to any people of the French persuation reading this. I have nothing but respect for you and have actually saluted your ingenuity several times while serving on balloon crews!)

We actually have several vineyards proper on the Western slope here in Colorado, as well as one meadery and quite a few places that do excellent ciders, Mari-Rae. Mead is my favorite, however. Yum!

Meadery, now theres a word you don't see too often - not down here anyway...

Don't mind a cider every now and then though

Believe it or not, there are a few vinyards here in Utah. Some god stuff if you like wine from what I hear. I prefer beer and Tequila anyway.

BTW I am in class all week, will be AFK most of the time. Sorry for the absence.

Some god stuff Marv? ROFL multiple jokes in the one posting. Most impressive

That was a fortunate typo I guess.

Heaven sent!


*Is enjoying her fast french food.*

Gw7en, your Jenny seems to be eating grape vines as we are walking. Emma has been stripping the trees. Hope nobody minds.

For what we and our elephants are receiving, may the Brownie make us truly thankful. Brownieluia!

Abrownie.

Maybe if we don't say anything, no one will notice Jenny and Emma's eating habits.

*whistles nonchalantly and tries to "ride casual"*

Is it working?



G7

I, for one, didn't see a thing...

Hoo-ray!

I don't know, Ride Casual

*Lowers her pith helmet over her eyes and settles back in her chair, on the theory that if they can't see her properly then she isn't responsible; ie. she is attempting to Ride Casual...It isn't a very well thought out theory.*

Can anyone really blame us?
Look at the size of me. Then look at the size of Kevin. Am I really supposed to be able to tell him what to do?
(Hangs on for dear life as Kevin rears up to sample a particularly attractive branch).

Well, in theory that's what these are for, I suppose. *holds up large stick she was given by an elephant handler* I just can't bring myself to use it for that though. *instead uses it to set up an umbrella*

G7

I think you're supposed to tap behind their ears for right and left with your foot. I dunno what stop is. Emma just stops conveniently for me. She's pretty polite. I can't do anything about her appetite, though.

*Emma rips a swath of corn plants out of a field and into her mouth.*

I thought you jabbed maker hooks into their sides, and then they turn to avoid getting sand into their sensitive skin, and so you can steer them....

...or is that sandworms?

My favorite sf book of all time!!

Well, I wish you'd said so earlier, 'cos I'd've directed you to:

Dune is very high on ArchBishop Marv's reccomended reading list.
