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

Ok, I was asked to find somewhere quiet to relax after the parsnip incident, what better place than a greenhouse for the soul. Please respect what others have planted and if you wish to leave something of yours behind to grow as others have done, please feel free.

I left a lot of Oak trees, I remember. Is everyone here a Rambling Misfit?

*notes that this is a place full of things "too tender, precious, or vulnerable"...*

Are you *sure* it was a good idea inviting us lot in here?

*treads nervously*

Might calm you down and I was asked to find somewhere restful after the parsnips.

Well, as long as we don't get too drunk or squash any plants whilst taking a group photo....

...You're right, somewhere harder to destroy would have been a better choice.

But surely parsnips have just as much right to grow here as anywhere. So we ain't really escaped them at all.
Hmm, perhaps there is something in the omnipresence of Parsnips. No doubt they are all part of the Greater Fred.

*calms down a bit*

Maybe you're right Phil.

You can never escape a parsnip. Once I went for a Christmas Dinner and said "no parsnip please", but lo! Parsnip was on my plate.

It is inevitable.

This seems a nice place to chill for a bit.
Pass the bong please.

Ah yes, Mina, they do 'grow precious things here in perfect security'.
*takes hit*
Oh, yes.....
*instantly relaxes*

Do you often relax after being struck with a hollow metal object?

I feel I may have misheard.

Well it's not very bleeding restful in the Alabaster skin... yellow, green and light blue text on a white background? Ouch, my eyes are bleeding!

Munchkin,
Not a gong, but a bong...
and not the ringing sound, but the object...
and not hit by, but a hit from.

Dr. E,

Exactly what is going on with the Alabaster skin? I found it very disturbing when I looked at it, so I changed back to cool blue goo. Much more mellow.

I have just looked at the alabaster version of the greenhouse dugout and it does look rather horrid. I use goo. If you use alabaster remember most of this site was written before it came along. Quite frankly it's your problem

*teleports herself into the greenhouse*

I'm a member of the Classic Goo fan club.
Except that no-one has started one yet. Can someone start one, and then tell us where so I can join it?

Is there a space in this garden for some water? This fish needs a rest. What a wonderful peaceful place. Thanks Phil. Just what everyone needs after a week of the new improved site.
As for Alabaster thing, well, I've hardly seen it. Everything still looks the same to me, and that's how I like it. The only one I did see was far too bright for my liking.
(At peace with new look, and no longer swimming backwards)

Your wish is my command, the new Classic Goo Fan Club is alive and well and living at http://www.h2g2.com/A362828
Don't expect much and you won't be disappointed.

Thanks, Mina.
