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

yupp, i have, i know it has some interesting things there but if i typed in , say, bloomington indiana, would it give me a listing of useful info? I mean thats what the guide is all about,isnt it? helpful information to hitchhikers of earth. thats the dream. Or so i thought.

mmmmm...pertyeasytomissboy? Seems like quite a bit to get out all at once. Believe I prefer pertyboy, if it's all the same to you. I don't know how to provide links for you but, you might just try checking the approved guide listings in general. Maybe, alabaster is the way for you to go. It seems to work for Ioreth(leaving for Isreal in 3(?)-4(?)-5(?) days). *rubs chin* And...it is a work in progress you know. Jump in.

Odra, I wasn't casting dispersions towards you or your companions just, positing a thought. You must admit tho, you do seem to have unusal pets.

*sipps his coffee with a thoughtful eyebrow raised, i can see thought pertyboy that i said something interesting* *i agree whispered his alter ego*

*looks warily about the cafe*
Did you hear something?

actually I am as we speak/type woking up a jumble if info about columbus and greensburg indiana, im just frustrated its a lot more work than i thought it was, "ohhhnooo" groans pertyboy "you dont by any chance have any cats in here" looks around nervously, sensing the answer yas and the violent bout of sneezing afterward.

Pertyboy, you nut, you just "search the guide." The type-in blank, at the top of the screen? Or have you tried that and found it unsuccessful?

*hands pertyboy the fume hood deal that is usually handed out to customers wishing to smoke*

l forget what Lil calls this, but it keeps cigarette smoke from leaving the general vicinity of the smoker...perhaps it would filter the air of cat-dander, for you?

*Diogenes regards pertyboy observingly*

couldnt you just tell me if there is a cat in the room? ::feeling nasal passages close up at the mere thought of it::

Pertyboy, leaving Indiana and on arrival in Auckland, New Zealand, you take out your WAP (wireless application protocol) phone. You type in Auckland and up pops a description of the city. Feeling hungary you click on the link to cafes where you read reviews of them. Finishing your meal you click the link marked entertainment and choose which show you want to attend....

This information was all originally supplied by h2g2 researchers just like you.

"Are you seriouse" says pertyboy increduiosly " my ego coulnt possi....."*sneeze sneeze sneeze * " ok, well maybee just this once" accepting the hood thingy ::ohh this is so degrading:: thought pertyboy.

Odra, is Larry a retired Calaban. I may be wrong but, it seems I read some time ago that alll suns are sentient and prefer to be referred to as Calabans.

*rubbing temples*

Ooh. Headache...

Something for this, llEM?

*machine produces some small round pills; Odradek knocks them back with a swallow of tea. Tucks ottoman back into knapsack; rummages about and pulls out eighteenth-century fainting couch instead, flopping down on it unceremoniously, closing eyes.*
l'm just resting, mind you...

W.O.W. where .....do....you....get....one
that has got to be the most devistatingly useful thing i have ever heard of aside from coffee and tea of course

*smiling smile of cat/dog person*
pertyboy, Diogenes is indeed a cat and if you know anything about cats you should know they go immediately to anyone in their vicinity with allergies or just a general dislike for them.
Did notice earlier there was a forun about cats. Something about do they have a use or something like that.

*speaks from behind closed lids*

There is a cat, pertyboy. His name is Diogenes, and if you like l shall tell him to leave you alone.
Diogenes?
*cat perks head*
Leave pertyboy over there alone.
*cat sulks.*
Leave him alone and l'll get you some yogurt.
*cat looks considerably happier*
llEM? Bowl of strawberry-kiwi yogurt for the cat.

And also, the fume hood is weightless and invisible, so you needn't worry about being humiliated...

dont bust my hump, that just totally spoiled my attempet at beiing cute, ill try the hunting wolf outlook now, goodluck ::snarels and upperlip pulls back to show shartp teeth:: "how was that?"

honestly I just send out a search for bloomington indiana and i got results none of which were about bloomington, most of which were anout normalis illinoise, what could i possibly be doing wrong?

lt just means that no-one's written an entry on it, and so there are no results to give you.
This means it's your big chance to write the entry yourself and win yourself much acclaim, y'know...

And stop that snarling. What if your face froze like that?
Well, it would save you time if you planned on looking menacing, a lot, l guess..

::snarals with more viciousness for a moment then stopps sheepishly:: my that is a disturbing thought isnt it?
