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

*doubles over in laughter*

Good one, Greebo! Have a donut on me.

*starts playing Prelude Op.28, No. 4 by Frederic 'Shopping'*

Ook, keep up with the page turning, there, OK?

>Ook: Ook!<

*transitions into 'Canon' by Johann Packyourbags, and then 'Moonlight Sonata' by Ludwig van Bakeoven.*

Oh ... what a purrfect way to end the evening... ~cute grin~

Thank you for the doughnut... and the lovely music... me really must head back to the Lair now...

~Greebo sighs regrettfully...~

Me will have sweet dreams for sure...

~Greebo wipes away the dribble on the piano... grins... and then jumps down and heads out the door...

...

...

Greebo's head pokes around the door... ~

Oh by the way... being as we are on a classical subject... have you heard about Arnold Schwarzenegger's new film... it's a musical... ~grin~... They asked him what composer he wanted to play.... and he replied... ~snigger~

"I'll be Bach!!"

~Greebo howls of laughter can be heard fading into the distance as she runs home... to her bed... and her sweet dreams...~

*takes a deep breath, wipes tears from eyes*

Hhmm, hhmmmmm, hmmm, hmmmmmmmm... hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmmm, hmmmmmmm...

*Emerges from the basement tunnel leading from the CLI to the Cafe*

Man, is that thing handy!

*Worries*

Um, it wasn't blocked off during the backlog I decided not to read, was it?

*finishes playing*
Thanks for helping, Ook!

*bows*
and thank you all

That was fun, but I've got to be going now. See you all later!

bye, Redbeard, and thanx for the tunes!

Affi, the tunnel's wide open, as far as I know. Odra was in-line skating down there a while ago.

Ah, that explains why the micro bot was complaining about giants with wheel feet.

IIEM, usual please.

*Worries*

The IIEM wasn't taken offline during the backlog I decided to read, was it?

*Decides not to worry about breaking continuity for once, and take the usual*

IIEM: Kona, please.

Don't worry, Affi, everything's "normal". (Whatever that means around here.) And I would never call the continuity police on you.

Incidentally, I'm thinking about opening a convenience store in one of the retail spaces at the H2G2 Space Center. But I'll definitely need some equipment. Can CLI help me out in that area?

Sure! We've got the latest in nearly any kind of equipment.


Coincidentally, if you want to set up a "planet invasion" store, we've got that too. You'd just have to pay under the counter, that's all. We have pretty much every kind of invasion stuff from the nearly every sci-fi story, from the giant tripod-robots in War Of The Worlds, to the invasion army of Star Wars Episode One.


So anything you need, CLI can get it!

Well, I'd thought I'd start out with basic travelers' needs. Like snacks, drinks, magazines, souvenirs. I think I need a "Slerpeez" machine.

I wouldnt rule out the "invasion" market, but I don't want to compete with the cantina right from the getgo. Maybe that's something I could branch out into later.

Affy, do you supply Mitsubishi starter motors?

*rematerialises in a whisp of smoke, amid several idle threats to switch lSPs, muttering about unreliable servers*



Helloa, again.
l never did get that chai, llEM...
*retrieves (still) waiting drink and flops on couch*

I give up!

I probably shan't be posting here any longer. This forum's too fast-paced for me-sa.

*randomly selects a piano roll and inserts into the piano, starts it up*

Guess what I picked, anyone?

Er...Phil Ochs covering Pachelbel?

*hums an obscure little ditty to herself*

"The day Marvin Gaye
And Phil Ochs got maarrriiieedd...
The trees all waved
Their giiiiiaaaaannnt aaaaarrmmss...."

I don't know, Odra, I'll have to take your word for it. I don't recognize it.

First person to push the piano to the next thread and play the first 4 bars of Stars and Stripes Forever or Rule Brittannia gets the FTTF Special at http://www.h2g2.com/F26140?thread=66539&post=491241
