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

*rolling on the floor laughing after watching those tapes*

I was promised by YOU lil... and even given this link

Hi all! Excuse me, I will just check if anyone's turned up at Lil's atelier yet, it was a bit quite earlier today...

*drifting off, in her usual v.e.l.manner*

*slowly opens eyes*
Huh?? How did I get under the table? I must have fallen asleep.... Cuban coffee please...(priorities)...Hey guys, how is everybody this glorious day/night/evening/morning?

*Puts on the v/_\3 and washes up*
Night shift - evening all!
I'm off for the weekend, so grab your c)_( while you can!

could i please have a green tea? thank you.

*Pours a tea that may well be green, I can't tell as I'm colour blind*
Ook, is this green?
*Ook nods*
Good.

The man on the red-velvet-couch nods sagely

IIEM, blackcurrent tea please. Yes the purple one...

*wanders in and picks up the c(_) of T left by BB so long ago*
*sips in appreciation*
Ah, that's what I love about this place. You place an order for a drink, and even though you cannot pick it up when it is poured, it stays hot until you do! BB makes such a nice cup of tea. I don't think i would like to go head to head with him in a tea making competition, as I fear he might just beat me. Oh well.
Evening (from my perspective) all, Morning Loony. All well I hope?

*jingle-linga-ling*
Howdy, ya'll. News from Dorothyland. Suits from D.C. were in town this week and were looking into meth production stats(local pols begging for dollars).
Seems as tho we have moved upp from forth to third in estimated production based on # of labs found and disenfranschised. Annnnnddd...(according to the reporter) we are fast gaining on #1 for per capita consumption(again, based on the production #'s based on the lab #'s).

"Who would imagine that they'd be freaking out in Kansas, kansas, kan.." F. Zappa

Anyhoo.. IIEM, an iced tea, if you please.

*settles into other end of couch, long draught*
ahhh... Life is good.

Hello, all; I'm just dropping by to see what the buzz is about. Neat place! I'd stay for a drink, but I've got to run. Be back later!

Hi and bye Eris. You still there jr?
To call h2g2 a morgue tonight would be bringing it up in the estimation stakes. At least a morgue has bodies!
I cannot believe that at 04:00 (GMT) there are only 22 people logged in. What's going on?
*helps self to fresh coffee. Ook shambles in*
Hi buddy How you doing?
*Ook shambles over to B-17 and 'ooks' quietly*
I know what you mean. Fancy a game of scrabble for old times sake? Keep your skills up?
*Ook nods and gets the board and tiles. B-17 joind him at the table*
Right you go first....

Aha! I've been wondering what the Scrabble board was for. Excuse me if i sit at the back and watch for a bit.
Morgue is about right. I'm late because my server died - just got through a backlog of e-mails, now for some relaxation.
Orange Pekoe - milk, no sugar, please IIEM

Hi Kes, all better now I hope?
*Ook gestures to board*
Sorry, Ook. What's that? BACKLOG on a triple word score? How do you do it? LOL I sometimes wonder if you have a secret bag of tiles under your chair. Right I'll use your C and put C O Y O T E. with the double letter score on the Y that should give me 13. Which only puts me about 50 behind you. This is the closest game we have had for a while, eh?
*Ook nods enthusiastically*

Actually that should have been 15. I forgot C is worth 3. Woohoo only 48 points between us now

I'm just looking in. Really. I wasted two hours of online time trying to upload a large file. Failed at the very end.

Anyway, after last night I need a rest.
*puts NZ bottled water on to boil for green tea*

*wakes back up from light snooze he was engaged in*

Oh, hi B-17, Kes. Sorry about that. Was just doing a little wool gathering there. If I can perfect my skills in that area maybe Loony could find me a day jog. Then I could help him out as an h2g2 radio volunteer. "That's right folks, for just a $50 contribution we will send you this perfectly marvelous premium. But, we need you to call in right now so we know you support what we are doing here."

Sound familiar? Beggin ain't pretty, ya know.

*(quietly, so that Ook won't hear)*
Babel, good move, but look what you've got now. You can make either a horrible disease, or the surname of a Polish aristocrat.

Hi, Lil. Didn't see you come in.

Yeah, that was a doozy. But, our girl Odra gave that bot what for didn't she. Gotta admit, that ain't somethin I would have started.

Sorry to hear about your download. That stuff happens to me pretty regularly, but I'm used to it now. Don't like it, but used to it.

After I get back from New Mexico I'll be changing my net arrangements radically. I never get a connection faster than 48K. That's why I own a sloth named Mindspring.

*makes green tea*
Anybody else want a cup?
