And I've done it again! Of course, with the most popular forum on h2G2 at the moment, simpulposts and leapfrog posts aren't too difficult to acheive!

Phil Posted May 12, 2000
So that's what's in the punch. I think I'll have some of that 
I'm impressed with your house of cards there mister jester sir.

Asteroid Lil - Offstage Presence Posted May 13, 2000
Good to leave on a high, you should pardon the expression. More tiger tea punch please.
Affi, very impressive. Please make something else now.
*and there her self-control ends and she burst out laughing again*

Irving Washington - Gone Writing Posted May 13, 2000
Okay, who brought the laughing gas?

Asteroid Lil - Offstage Presence Posted May 13, 2000
No, nooo, Irv, you gotta read the tea leaves... Oh wow. *sees Ook wander in carrying the scrabble game box* Don't let Ook near the punch, whatever you do!

Lil, were you a genuine Hippy in the 60s?
*sings*
For goodness sake
I got the hippy-hippy shakes

Doctor John (Patron Saint and Village Physician) Posted May 13, 2000
Don't know about Lil, but I was.
*Grins. Rolls 5 skin joint using "punch" as an ingredient*

Well I for one can hardly wait for Irv's road trip... Looking forward to it buddy. It will be sad to see you away from the guide all summer tho..

Irving Washington - Gone Writing Posted May 13, 2000
This is an official announcement. Somehow, some way, pictures of my road trip, including meeting Marv and Gw7en in Denver, will find there way to the h2g2 crowd!

Afgncaap5 Posted May 13, 2000
Yeah, that'll be sad. Remember how empty this place got over Christmas? And then the researchers realized that sicne Irv was there, we could do anything? But then Irv shows up just as I'm about to loot the cash box. 
Oh, well. Probably for the better, anyway.
BTW, there was a period where I was away for about two weeks, so who is this Ook? Or is it Oook?
*While waiting for an answer, pulls out scrabble board, waits for two people to make some plays, allowing Jester to get the word 'Quizzical', on a triple word, with a few double letter scores*
Okay, plus the fifty point bonus for using all seven letters, that's . . . 406 points?
*Thinks*
YES! It is! Now, it is mathematically impossible for anyone to beat me!
*Grins at the disgusted cafe goers who made the two plays, wondering if the Jester knew ahead of time what the tiles would be*

Great announcement! I'm really looking forward to meeting you in person! We'll miss your presence here at H2G2 though. You too, Fiend! I am horribly sad to hear that you aren't going to be able to come back! Give us your tutor's e-mail address and we'll pepper him/her with reason why you should be allowed to come back!
Lovely punch, Lil. Mind if I try some?
My, well we know why its called punch now! Wonderful stuff!

Irving Washington - Gone Writing Posted May 13, 2000
I don't trust him as a jester! Nor as a looter! I will, however, explain Ook a bit.
Ook was summoned, conjured, or created by Vladimir one day when he entered the Café and asked for a Blue Sumatran. Instead of the cup of coffee he expected (Blue Sumatran has a wonderful flavor) he got this Azur Orango... Oranou... this Azur Ape (where's my bloody dictionary?).
Since then he's been taught how to clear tables and play scrabble. He always beats me.
Lil has a way with animals, and has often taken charge by feeding Ook. She's the one who taught him to clean up in the first place.
Just keep Ook away from the Punch!
Irving Washington Sendoff Do
Afgncaap5 Posted May 13, 2000
Alright!
*Picks up the punch bowl, and walks up the side of the wall. He walks across the ceiling, and sets the bowl in the chandelier. He jumps down to the floor*
Okay, Ook cannot reach the punch at this point.
Then again, neither can you.
Hey, I like being a Jester!

Gw7en, Voice of Chaos (Classic) Posted May 13, 2000
And don't call him a monk...the "m" word!

Irving Washington - Gone Writing Posted May 13, 2000
*produces a very, very, very long ladle*
Punch anyone?
When'd we get that Chandelier?
Irving Washington Sendoff Do
Asteroid Lil - Offstage Presence Posted May 13, 2000
*exaggeratedly* o-rang-u-tan. Or -tang.
IIEM, bananas for Ook please.
*Goes over to far wall and opens a small plate, behind which is a crank. Lil lowers the chandelier and extracts the punch bowl*
This is how we clean the chandelier, Green J.
Doctor John, good to see you, man, Pass that thang around. Yes, I was a real hippy. I have even lived in a commune, at the Birmingham Arts Lab as was.
*ladles out another cup* Tiger tea punch, anyone? No Ook, not you.
Irving Washington Sendoff Do
Doctor John (Patron Saint and Village Physician) Posted May 13, 2000
*grins*
Sorry, Lil. Forgot you lived here in Godzone, once.
BTW I'm going to the party in the park later today. Any messages for any British H2G2ers?
*Rolls another punch-flavoured thingy. ======~~~~ *

Asteroid Lil - Offstage Presence Posted May 13, 2000
Tell Kate bytheway hello from Lil. She's from Birmingham, too.
Find out what you can about the situation with their database, whether they're working on the wall of jello...
*a puzzled look passes over her face*
Uh, what was the question?
*and is replaced by alarm*
Ook, NO!
*Ook has poured a cup of punch down his throat and is chewing on the leaves*

Doctor John (Patron Saint and Village Physician) Posted May 13, 2000
*Ook 'borrows' Dr J's beads and starts wandering round the cafe grinning inanely and flashing peace signs at everyone*
