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

*DD disappears into nothingness 10 feet in the air in the direction he pointed*

* A minutes later a pile of sand appears in that general direction as is hurled towards the hole near where TY disappeared.

*Bluebottle re-appears after a long absence*
What's going on?

Me and Demon Drawer are currently trying to dump sand on each other in our JCB, which are now invisible, due to them being Somebody Else's Problem.

Well I'm trying to dump sand on his (that darned imposter), but am having some difficulty finding it.

Well, I think that a JCB dumping sand on you would become your problem, and so the SEP field wouldn't work, and you'd see him.

Well, that's the problem. He's not ~actually~ dumping anything on me yet. I'm just trying to provoke him into revealing himself.

*BBRRRMMMMMMMM* (unless it's not your problem, of course)

Try driving your JCB as fast as it may go, so fact that even if it saw a JCB it couldn't possibly stop in time without hitting and crashing into it, and then that hidden JCB would become a problem, as it may cause a traffic accident.

Is there much traffic on the beach?

Only two invisible JCBs and various sunbathers - plus an occasional skier or two.

Skiing, wow! Won't the sun melt all the snow?

*Pete settles down within a JCB tyre track*

Mmm comfy!

No, the snow is perfectly safe, just about, as we've got a good arrangement with the man who controls the weather.

Cool, literally. Does he get free donuts for life, or something like that?

*Pete looks at watch*

Crickey! Is that the time, got to dash.

*Pete jumps into nearby parked jeep and dashes off home to complete his Chemistry tutorial*

*yells as he sends up a spray of sand*

See you tomorrow!

*E is quite worried that there are now 2 invisible JCB's running about hurling sand at each other...she then realises that as long as it's not _her_ who's the target, then she's safe.*

Provided that the invisible JCBs don't hide behind you...
I'm worried too. I might disallow it.

It seems to have stopped for the moment...

True, true.. but you can never be too careful.
Afterall, if I bury you in sand, all you need is a little wriggle to unbury yourself. If, however, a JCB buries you...

...All you need is a bigger wriggle to unbury yourself

True.
But a JCB already *has* buried me...although DD claims to have done it by accident...

Well - how dare it - I don't think I'll allow that!
*As controller of the Beach, waves his hands and the Beach obeys it's creator, and unburies Eomando*

Erm...thanks...

I'm not buried at the moment though...it was a while ago now.

Thanks anyway.
