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

Kitty, that looks like a perfect Lion Door. Can I get a little help lifting it into place?

Okay, I'll provide a little help. How little help do you want - supervisory help? Someone to tell you what to do but not actually do anything? I can do as little as you wish.

<BB<

How about I lift with my knees, and you refrain from lifting with my back?

*takes a seat and unstraps her harkonnen*

Here, use this.

*Googles "harkonnen". Isn't sure how that's going to help*

*Braces a hind paw against the door and lifts the other side with a front paw*
mrraow?
*Looks uncomfortable*
*Tries to shuffle it into place*
mrrraOWr?

*hurries towards Kitty*

How can I help? What are you trying to do?

You think that's actually going to fit? *looks a bit dubious*

*rushes to help Kitty*

[Mog looks on in perplexity.]

My harkonnen is a zero-gravity device that allows me to float around without needing a wheelchair. There's no limit on its strength. It's named after Baron Harkonnen of Dune, who was so obese that he had to wear a device like this.

It looks like an assemblage of straps, reminiscent of a parachute (stowed).

*Kitty thinks if it does fit, he'll just make the hole bigger, and if the hole is too big, they can just build some more wall.*
*Kitty gives a big push and the door is now standing upright in the hole. It tilts, it totters, it rebounds*
mrrrrrrrAOOOWWW!!!
*Kitty rubs his nose*
*Kitty pushes it back up, wriggles round to lie down to hold it in place while waiting for the others to fix the hinges with the big hammer*
*Kitty closes his eyes*
yawwwwwwwn!!!!!

*Resists the temptation to say 'Bring in the floating fat man', a quote from the film Dune*

<BB<

*snuffles in his sleep*

*Tiptoes round Kitty to put the v/_\3 on for more *

<BB<

*whispers* I'd love a cup!

*quietly pours *
