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

Oh, hi One-eye, sorry, didn't see you!

That's allright! How are you?

It's a strange kind of weather were having. When I left home this morning, the rain was pouring down. Here, at w*rk, it's snowing like h**l... And the altitude-difference isn't that large (100-150m).

Snow? Is it melting right away, or is it cold as well?

...för det är bara regn hos mig...

It's melting, but it's coming down faster than it can melt. The roads up here were covered with people who weren't exactly well-prepared...

Lunchtime!!

*pop*

Is it that kind of snow that makes people look like , with the snow sticking all over?

Lunch - ooohhhhhhh.....

*health check today, not allowed to eat any lunch because of some sort of tests*

Hey! I can still have h2g2-lunch!

and yummie...

*pop*

*sympathy*
Allright, I'll refrain from revelling in the joys of lunch, since you're not allowed any

Yeah, it makes people look like . In fact, almost everything looks like

/* Jingle */

IIEM, café au lait, please, and a bowl of water.

Hello, all. I've got the day off to prepare for tomorrow's holiday. I'll have dinner for about 20 people.

/* sets /___\ on ground */

/* Zeppo runs over to Titania, demanding to be cuddled */

Dang! Suddenly quiet...

IIEM, I'll have another coffee please.

*walks over to corner, takes out VPB, crawls inside, lights cigarette*

Hi d'Elaphant, hi Zeppo!

Didn't see you come in

Having dinner for 20 people, eh? Definetely better than having 20 people for dinner...

So, how are you?

/* Zeppo runs over to One-eye, trying to snap at the wisps of smoke */

I'm fine. I don't know about the dinner though. This is the first time I've attempted anything close to cooking so large a meal.

I wonder if the IIEM could do it for me.

/* Examines menu to see if IIEM is programmed for cranberry sauce */

And how are things going with you? I take it the weather has been damp?

This post has been removed.

*back from RL late lunch - what would you call that? lunchper? lunchner?*

Hi d'Elaphant, what are you doing here at this time of day?

Hi Zeppo! *cuddle*

One-eye, how do I join that group (or should I say "1-i")? d'E is fine.

I'm in the northeastern US, where it is currently chilly but dry.

Hi, Titania. I've got the day off so I can prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow (so far I haven't used my time for that purpose).

/* Zeppo runs back and forth between 1-i and Titania, pouncing and licking */

Enjoy!!

Welcome back T

IIEM, overtime special please.

Hallo y'all! IIEM, an Asteroid Lil Special please.

d'E, 20 people is awesome. I've never served more than 9 for a sit-down banquet.

Titania, I brought you a Clydesdale called Gandalf. I wanted for you to be able to ride out whenever you want, even if the other two are at work plowing or hauling. And as soon as the US holida weekend is over I'll be looking at the idea of a painting...

*bites down into an apple spice donut with relish*
*not real relish*

*walks in accompanied by a sudden swirl of snow. Jigs up and down happily chanting:*

Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow....

*realises that snow is puddling on the floor. Frowns and it all disappears as if by *

Hi every one. It's snowing.

Hi Lil!

Another Clydesdale? Wow!

Gandalf? Would he be grey or even white?

And I KNOW I've seen a painting by John Bauer with something elf-like mounted on something really big...wanted to show you, but can't locate it right know...

*checks watch*

Wow! TWO Americans in the café before work day is over! (Sorry, Zeppo, three!)

Hi Sol, so I gather.. It's been snowing quite a bit here today too.

Lil; long time no see! how are ya? How are the "mugshots" coming? (If they're coming at all...)
