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

*pops in on way home from movies*

Hi everyone! Oh, is Babel busy? I'll serve till he comes back. I've just been to see Gladiator. Wow! WOW!!

*makes green tea* Wilson Bear, I don't believe we've met.

Hi, I'm Tabitha, I just registered yesteday, can I talk to you?

Well of course you can! Would you like some virtual coffee? I've just made green tea to settle my nerves after a gory movie, and you're welcome to some of that. What have you seen of the site so far?

I've had a lovely chat with Greebo T.Cat and Wilson Brown Bear left me a message, but mostly I've been admiring the impressive donut/beverage selection.

Hello Tabitha.
Hey Lil. some green tea for me. I see DNA is currently logged on
How was the movie?

Hello Babel, do you have peppermint tea here? I'm feeling very proud of myself because I learnt how to make

Mr. Adams moves on different oxygen levels than we do. I wonder sometimes what he thinks of the degree to which role-playing goes on at the site. Hey, give people a nickname and a place to input, and a hive thing happens.

Tabitha, even if no entities appear to be present when you come by, just ask the IIEM for what you want and it will provide. Consider it as a sort of mishful thinking machine.

Gladiator was a ripping yarn, but the computer graphics were a bit low rent in places. Like no surface textures in some of the backdrops of Roman buildings. But the fighting was just grrrrreat.

Oh well, no doubt I will get to see it at some point. (probably on video, knowing my luck)

I really ought to have called it Wishful thinking.

Some movie are OK on video, and I think this will be. Now Titanic could only be seen efectively on a huge screen.

Mike A: Rent Baron Munchhausen!!!


Really, Gladiator is Russell Crowe's Braveheart. Same deal with gore and glory and grief.

Oooh, suddenly all sleepy. Bye! It was nice to meet you, hope I can chat to you again soon

Y'all come back now, ya hear?

(As the natives say round these parts)
Anyway, I think I'll head home too -- got a double shift to handle, the next few days!

The movie Braveheart comes up in conversation about once a week, y' notice?

But I like that, as it reminds me of a certain guy.

A normal hot choc, Lil?

Bye lil, and thanks
One Normal Hot Vhocolate coming up Ioreth.
*passes c(") to Io.*
Well, Braveheart while factually incorrect is still a great film.
Give me a Claymore any day!

Quiet

*tidies up, empties bins, changes filters on IIEM, puts out Sunday papers. Gives Ook a drink of water and some bananas. Posts sign*

Open as Usual.
The IIEM is on and Lil will be in soon to look after you all
over the next couple of days. Please play Scrabble with Ook the Orangutan. he is harmess, but v. good at Scrabble.
Enjoy, relax, drink coffee and chat. Have Fun!!!

Right Ook see you in a couple of days. Help Lil take care of the customers please. *takes cappucino and donut 'to go' waves bye to Ook and heads out the door*

~Greebo climbs down off the doughnut pile and proceeds to eat them all for breaky... BURP!!!~

*arrives with fresh doughnuts*
*washes off compote and sets up a new display*
*Ook sidles in from porch*
IIEM, give that hairy little fellow two melons and a bunch of bananas. And I'll have an A L Special I think. *fishes an apple spice donut out of box where she has cached extra doughnuts in case Greebo eats the display again*

It's a lovely day! I think I'll open up the porch for customers. Ook, why don't you take your breakfast outside, and I'll serve out here in the screened area.

~Greebo spies the cache of doughnuts... and grins to herself...~

*relaxes in wicker papasan chair on porch, doing Sunday crossword*
