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

I'm sorry, Ook...I haven't said hello in a long time.

*turns back to Odra* Yes, I prefer knives and basic weaponry although the high-tech implements of destruction preferred by many around here are cool, too.

Speaking of machetes, have you seen anything about this h2g2-based Web version of Survivor? l dropped off an application. l simply couldn't resist...

I checked it out and thought of applying but didn't know if they meant put your stats in the forum or if they'd peruse individual researcher home/spaces;if that's the case I'd better not bother seeing as I haven't got diddly on mine.

Thus far, only Lintilla and l have applied. All you have to do is meander in and either make up something about yourself or tell the basic truth, and you're in. No homepage-perusal required...
Hee. lf we get eatsmice and you in on this...just imagine the destruction. That island would never look the same. The original Pyromanic Four.

Not to mention we all seem to have a love of getting to the action fast, in a big way!

I'll run over and check it out...



*jingle*

*...ingle jing*

*returns to table

Well, we'll see what MK has to say about not choosing to be gender specific.

l think it adds a splendid hint of mystery...and if he doesn't like it we can blow him up for you.

*grins*

Ah, there's the spirit! Bothered me a bit about not even a butter knife, though. Where's the warrior's fun to be had? Surely not in paper cuts alone (as I nurse several at my RL desk)!

*fondly strokes the barrel of her still-never used Strange-Matter-Defibrulation-Taser*

We'll just see who's not allowed to have butter knives...
l think perhaps MK just meant that the producers won't be providing the weapons for us. Perhaps it's something to do with insurance. All the more reason to bring our own along, then!

Ah, yes indeed! They must have a long disclaimer, for sure.

*Comes in, past the backlog he refuses to read. Decides not to make his usual pointless comments, unsheaths his sword, gets Usual, and enters the Magic Forest in an attempt to find the Rat-Ant(s)*

l do hope he doesn't mistake Vlad and the Yak for a very large rat-ant. That could get ugly.

Ah, but if in true zen fashion, having not read the backlog, do they exist to Affy or not? What is the sound of one yak clapping? If a yak falls in the woods, does it make any sound? Only to those who labor over the backlog...

Suppose that's a valid point. l'm sure the Majic Forest is big enough that a backlogless-Affy and a yak-borne Vlad can manage to miss each other in it...

Heh. What kind of a sound -does- a yak make, anyway? A growl? A whinny? A bellow?

Probably a bleating-trill of some sort. I like the idea that one could possibly wander forever in the forest and not trip over another's thread...

By the way, I've never seen Survivor...I'd hate to be pitted against you! Would be more fun as a team.

l've never seen it either, admittedly. l say we warp it into a more The-Real-World-esque fiasco, with constant dramatic flareups and pointless, petty arguments. What say you?

l also got the impression that in this version, there would be two teams. Maybe we can all get ourselves on the same team, or something? l have no idea how all of this works, but l suppose the mediators are going to give us all of that information as time goes on.

Kind of a grunting whine, I'm told.

Hi all. I've popped in a few times, but failed to make a regular apperance. I'm Demon Drawer's and Joanna's Attorney General de jour.

Is anybody serving, or do I need to use the IIEM?

*figures to heck with it*

IIEM one triple espresso with whipped cream and caramel, please.

c(_) Yummy....

Heya!

*checks last few posts*

Ooh, ohh! I'm gonna put a Survivor link right next to my Safari link!

And they sorted themselves into teams on the TV show until the whittled the remaining batch down to 9 or 10, I believe. They ganged up on each other to control who got voted off the island.

IIEM: [~]k, please

*Bursts in through the door, with several serious looking cuts, bruises, and wounds*

There's a whole nest of 'em out there! I think that they'll leave researchers alone, though, as long as we do the same. Just don't ever ask one the time of day.

Meanwhile, I need to get some mroe extermination stuff from CLI.

*Goes to the tunnell*

Hiya Witty, Cheezdanish.

Hear that, ox? l won't vote you off if you don't vote me off.
On the other hand, it might be more Big-Brother-like, where the h2g2 audience at large controls the voting.
l say you and l and Lintilla, and if eatsmice joins, that we all band together and gang up against everyone else. l'm certain we could take all comers...
