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

yeah, but at least you don't have to bend to get through doors.

No, but my neck hurts whenever I try and conduct a conversation with normal sized people..

4'11' here. Z, you're very tall to me.

Egon, do you get as tired of tall jokes as I do of short jokes?

I once dated a girl who was 4' 11". It was very inconvenient.

I'm not particularly bothered about tall jokes, I have to say. Kind of got used to them, family tradition (my Dad's 6ft4, my Mum's 5ft10 and my sister 6ft2 so we've all had to put up with them)

[Dylan] [who is the person doing all the typing, and who now arrives] I'm 6'2". And I still haven't gone on a date before.

Put *up* with them, eh?

IIEM, a Lazy Cat Dozing in Front of a Fire, please, and a bowl of water.

/* sips the chocolate drink and puts the /___\ on the floor */

Oh god, I'm making the jokes myself now, aren't I?

Some of youse met the Stepson. His father is built on the same scale. I felt petite and incredibly safe whenever I went out with them.

*feeling lonely and fragile and sad tonight, but remembering that tomorrow is another day*

There is a Russian proverb saying that morning is wiser than the evening.

*tries to get a sugarfree cocoa with skim milk from the IEM and almost, but not completely, fails to give the machine a dirty look*

Be careful with kinderslut - some people might call you a deviant and suggest you're supporting child pornography

*gets herself a Lil Special and takes a corner seat near the Venus statue*

Luxury. In my days at the Aroma Cafe, we had to start a new thread every morning.

YK, inventor of the fabulously clever and useful product known as Continuity Bleach, I predict that you will be the prize catch in whatever neighborhood you live IRL. You are too intelligent and funny to fail. Except you evidently don't realize the part about being the prize catch yet.

And John Cleese, who is very tall indeed, was 24 before he, well, you know.

IIEM, a Mog's Usual, please.
I can barely keep my eyes open.

Yeah, Lil... Meanwhile we have had problems with keeping it going after all. So far it's in business.

*Sits and sips his coffee.*

Quid pro quo ex expectorum.

Being a waiter around here sure got easier when the IIEM was installed.

I get called Capital L by my mother and one particualr friend all the time. Of course I am used to being the biggest (though not always the tallest) person in any given room.

No1 son is 6'2" and is by no means exceptionally tall, it must be true, each generation is getting taller.

I was always quite tall as a child but stopped growing around the age of 14 at 5'4", not a bad height to be.

IIEM a green please, my metabolism needs the boost this morning and some antioxidants need zapping.

'ning all!

IIEM, a vanilla latte please!

The murder trial against the man who stabbed Swedish foreign minister Anna Lind is to take place today. The evening newspapers have outdone themselves in probing into every detail of his life, and it makes me feel thinking of all the money they must have paid him to come up with stories like 'read all about the deed in his own words' - 'read his story as told by himself' and interviews with his mother, and even his grandfather which they managed to dig up somewhere in Serbia!

And no, I don't buy evening newspapers (more gossip and scandals than any real news), but it's been hard to avoid the brightly coloured news bills with big headlines - they're everywhere!

Morning everyone.

A nice green jasmine tea please, after the disgraceful displays of last night.

The stepson has discovered Hootoo!



He is riccocheting around Ask at the moment, posting non-sequiteurs, but getting laughs from his audience. We all have to be newbis, so I am not commenting or giving advice. Still, he seems to be having a LOT of fun, and his last post was (3 Hours Ago)

Actually, I am more pleased than I can say. If he sticks to it, and it does half as much for him as it has done for me, h2g2 will be a stable point of social contact for him during a time which is going to involve a lot of disruption, migration and change. Lucky bugger might even get to one of the Australian meets.

Ben

*wanders in*

IIEM I'd like a and a , please.

*sits next to Lil*

Even our evening paper has the same kind of crap in it. Though not on the front page - there is a heart-breaking story of a woman who died of a cancer. A celebrity, of course.
Let them rest in peace!

HUmm this all makes me realise why I read the Guardian - now if only they made in smaller because I'm so short I can only read broadsheets if I have a floor to spead them out on.

The local shop is selling Hychincths quite cheaply - I'm thinking of getting some for the roof garden, but how long will they stay in bloom?

I missed theatre today, but it was not really relevent to my current placement.

A was feeling a bit down last night, so we had a game of drinking chess - when you take a piece you down a shot. It's very good..
