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

I would like to take a serious moment here to congratulate all you regulars and visitors who have demonstrated the superior quality of Irv's teas and coffees by making this the busiest forum on h2g2.

It also speaks well for the quality of the conversation, when researchers come back for more.

I will sanction anybody who stuffs these threads with nonsense just so we can have another thread race! Did y'all see that? We gave a rough time for the end of the last thread and everybody had a race to see who'd be first in after me.

Anyhow, thanks everybody, for supporting Irv and his cafe.

*Looks up at Ook who has nested in a groin of beams in the corner*
Breakfast, Ook?

Yeah, I think I'll do that!

There, that was better!

"myself" was just a nick I chose instead of having some "Reasearcher-very-big-number"
As I am not that creative i didn't think of anything better than "Myself", which I, in anycase, insecure or not, am.
"snata clasu" is actually just a typing error for "Santa Claus".
Just as well, I can't afford giving gifts away to everybody!

Snata Clasu is excellent.

IIEM, one Ook special and one A L Special
*Ook comes down for breakfast, and knuckles out to the porch*

Ook, do you want the Times or the Guardian crossword?

Funny, I just thought of that old Michael Rennie movie. Klaatu baratu niktu! Snata Clasu!

Ook: ?

Coffee?

*sips coffee and takes bite of brownie*

*enjoys*

Rather quiet now?

*empties coffee*

*eats rest of brownie while wandering out in the sunshine waving goodbye*

*BS looks up and returns Snata Clasu's wave*

Bye

Hey Guys, this is michelle (somat) on my school user name anyways, im meant to be studying for chemistry but i need caffine...

*orders Mocha and sits down at the counter

*strolls in lugging PC*

Hi, Lil, BluesSlider.

Don't get up, Lil. I'll help myself.

IIEM, 1 Kona, black please.

*proceeds to quiet table to work on bright idea for teacher gift for daughter's 2nd grade class*

I made a suggestion for my kid's teacher gift, and yours truly now gets to execute it. Feel free to interrupt.

Hi Michelle.

Hi Witty, hi michelle/caffeine/somat (which do you prefer btw?). So what's the gift Witty?

Well....

End of the year teacher gifts are always a challenge. How many cute teacher mugs can one have? Especially since this teacher's been teaching over 30 years.

So, I innocently said to one of the other Class Moms... How about a wall plaque? We can have the class picture mounted on it. And since the teacher created a really cool class logo for the field day activites, we could put that logo on it, too. Logo says Stella's Stars 2000.

The idea was a hit. And so here I sit, recreating the logo in PrintMaster for the trophy shop. And I am but a rank amateur. Nowhere near Lil's ability.

*wonders if Mrs. Stella is a H2G2 fan, 'cause one of Lil's mugs would be a fabulous gift.*

Ah, so this is where everyone his. Hello, any chance of a cuppa or shall I put one on?

Sorry! Just realised where I was, I'll go and buy one.

Superdreamer, go up to the counter and ask that peculiar machine for what you want and it will give it to you. It's an IIEM, an Infinite Improbability Espresso Machine -- but it does anything.

It's OK Superdreamer, just ask the IIEM (Infinite Improbability Espress Machine) for whatever you want. Lil seems a little distracted atm .

*Somewhat startled*

LOL, sorry Lil, I didn't see you walk in .

Cheers, I was just reading your discusion with Morgan about the blues. I like to play but am not familiar with players so didn't join in.
