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

Jump on a plane and come and stay with us! Open invitation! We'll take you snowmobiling and skiing too if you want. Only its still warm out now. Wait for January!

*Climbs down from the bar platform and back onto Emma. Emma has been flirting with Humungous this whole time.*

Behave yourself, Emma! Hey look! We're coming to a winery!

Falling down a mountain, however, makes alot of sense. I have done it. Part of the way. I think the rapid decent has something to do with gravity. Falling off the mountain is quite fun....hitting the boulders and trees can be a bit disconcerting though.

Have never ski'd . Also, I am surrounded by ocean and have not swam in 10 years.

...don'tlike wine. Hope they have some whiskey.

And I hope they have Tequila.

It's French wine, so I'm willing to give it a try.

Shall we, Mari-Rae?

::The Elephant Party approaches the winery, a location they really don't need to go to, since they've had plenty to drink::

::They get closer to the winery, where Dragonfly is picking out wine for Bacchus Bar, in her Musehome::

Hello, Dragonfly! Care to join us for a tour of France?

G7

And I rather doubt that a little wine will have much of an effect on us. We tend to drink dry most places of libation, save the bar atop Thirsty and Thirstier.

AB Marv

What a nice invitation!!!

...Hey... I know who you are... you hail from the Church of the True Brownie!!!

Well, as some of you may know, I'm the Musehome Founder...

...So we come from different religions... but I think we can agree on one truth-- Brownies are as inspirational as anything on earth can be!!!

The last time I was in France was when I was inspiring Van Gogh... It'd be nice to see it again!!!

Do you mind if I come along!??

By all means join us. Oh and don't let the fact that this is also a church prohibit you from possibly joining us officially. There are other church leaders that have decided that they would also like to be a member of this august body.

AB Marv

And since chocolate is a truth and inspiration for so many... Well, it just makes sense!

G7

Indeed, it does!!! I won't argue with that!!!

I happen to have my own church at the Musehome... but not an elephant...

Tell me, do you allow anyone to come in and play the piano in your church!?? I have had problems with previous churches who wouldn't let me... and they never heard me pray. Music is my form of prayer. I'd like my title have something to do with that, if playing the piano is prohibited...

I need to muse on it...

::laughs at her own joke::

I hope your crowd likes music ::knowing wink::, because I certainly do!!!

Since I don't drink alcohol, I'll be looking for an elephant while you enjoy yourselves here!!!

Dragonfly will be a happy addition to our Trek.

Yes, Gw7en, let's go and sample some wine. We may want to buy a few bottles for the road.


Kuma, I have body surfed in the ocean whilst in Florida. Its fun until you hit the shore! Also, living next to Lake Michigan I often take the dog down to the beach and swim with her in the waves. I've not gone out there in a boat, though. Scared of that Lake. Its swallowed 6 this summer in our area.

The essay of the week is on France.
Specifically, the French Civil Wars between 1565 and 1595. Why is it that whenever France is not at war with either England, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Russia, Belgium, Luxemburg, Switzerland or Austria that they have to have a Civil War? Now I've got nothing against Civil Wars, I'm quite partial to the American Civil war now and then, but 9 Civil Wars in France within 30 years is a bit much, don't you think?

::Searches for her elephant... sees a French zoo...::

I think its a French thing, BB. There are other countries with similar records, unfortunately.

Mari-Rae, do you think they'd object if we take a goodly percentage of their casks? We do have a ways to go and might get rather thirsty on the way!

Dragonfly, I bet you could get a lovely elephant in there!

G7

::busily persuading the zoo keepers to let her take an elephant named Pierre S. Cargo on a very long walk...::

(My computer is being retarded... I am perishing as it gets slower and slower... and I pray to Zeus that this won't keep me from my beloved h2g2 for long....!!!!!)

*fingers crossed that Dragonfly's computer problems will be over soon*

Well, we have wine, we have friends, and we have the Brownie. What more could a little religious band like ours want? ...Other than tequila, that is.

G7

Dragonfly, if you want an elephant just whistle.

We have casks of white, burgandy, and champagne. And fresh grapes to go with along with various cheeses. Whiskey, beer, thick crusty bread and of course our brownies. Everything for a fabulous picnic!

Thank you for not forgetting the Tequila.
