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

We've been neglecting the forrest, but it's such a beautiful spring day outside* that I thought we'd come back to it. What do you think?

* Weather in your part of the world may vary
** This is the famous self referencing footnote** annoying, ain't it?

~Irving

~TINK!!~

~Greebo appears in a cloud of doughnut smelling smoke..~

Ohhhhh... treee'ssss... me so loves treeee'sssss... ~grin~... so nice to climb...

~Greebo bounces up to the nearest tree... and quickly scrambles up the gnarled old bark... until she perches on a branch above Mr Washington's head...~

~Tee... Hee~ Opppsss... sorry about that acorn landing on your head... hope it didn't hurt... ~grin~... to much...

*rubs head. Looks up to see a cat with a Cheshire grin appear above him*

Curiouser and curiouser! This reminds me of a book I read once...

~Irving

*Strolls into the forest glade and stretches out on the grass, next to the babbling brook.*

Say, Irv, could I trouble you for a majic tea, please.

*Walks around*

This is a nice place, actually. Different feel than the last ones.

*Sits under tree to go over an old game of chess*

*walks into the café. Returns with majic tea. Suddenly, a thought strikes him (ouch)*

Er... Greebo, I thought you were on a dairy and doughnuts diet?

~Irving

Well to be honest Mr Washington... me can eat mostly anything... ~grin~ ... but me much prefers doughnuts and drinking the occasional glass of cold milk... not forgetting the straw of course... ~Greebo throws another acorn.. which lands in the middle of a chess game... ~

*Playfully throws a small pebble at Greebo. Pebble glances off Greebo's tail. GL puts on innocent look.*

*picks up one of the pawns that is lying next to Afgncaap5's chess game, tosses it into the air...*

~Irving

~Greebo looks at her tail and then glares down at the researchers below her... she crosses her eyes.... and starts to choke...~

cough...

Cough...

COUGH!!!!

PHEWY............... SPLAT!!!!!!

Opppssss... sorry about that furball GL... it was totally an accident... ~Greebo unsuccessfully looks not in the least bit innocent...~

Bizare! I through that pawn into the air 3 hours ago, and it's just sort of... hovering there! In mid air!

~Irving

Look a little higher Mr Washington... see my paw... ~grin~... it's holding the pawn... hmmm....

Greebo's going Cheschire on us again!



I mean, just look! Can't even see her paw!

~Greebo grins very broadly... and soon all that is left of her is her grin~

I was sure there was a Greebo here a moment ago.

~Irving

What, you mean the moon in the mid-afternoon light?

*sings*
Blue moon!
You saw me standing alone!
Without a dream in my heart!
Without a love of my own!

*stops. Thinks. Starts again*
bluDragon,
You saw me standing alone
Without a webpage to start
Without an ftp of my own!

~Irving is thanking bluDragon for helping him refine the Parade page, and showing him how to upload things properly

That's a lovely poem... ~Greebo re-appears~ Me is sure the Fiery One with really appreciate it...

Though she's not here au moment. Je suis desolé, je pense que je parle français quand l'IIEM ne marche pas -- il est très bizarre, n'est pas?

*words seem to flow backwards ito Irvings mouth, in English this time*

?it isn't, bizarre very its -- right work doesn't IIEM the when French speak I that think I, sorry am I. moment the at ici pas est'n elle Mais

~gnivrI

I like spring.
Make a joke and I will sigh,
And you will laugh and I will cry,
Happiness I cannot feel,
And love for me is so unreal.
