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

Losing the snow cannon?

OK, a surprise donut...I can handle this I'm sure...
...ermm...ermm...OK, a chocolate-orange, chocolate supreme...?
...why is everyone so sad...?

...Please, no-one be sad...
?

Tatty, what about an IWA...?

I'm in a remarkably good mood, half-term, good doughnuts and if ampton wants to learn the polka, all he has to do is ask!
IWA please E...

*with a twang of an Irish accent*
An IWA would be fine. I've just e-mailed you actually!

I'm worried 'cos (call me daft) I accidently registered a second time (with h2g2) this afternoon. I guess I'm just preparing myself for the worst. (I have such a great time here. And on h2g2).

Hang on, I'm almost beginnig to see a funny side to this...

Don't worry about that tatty, i did it all the time when i first signed on.
doesn't bother the people upstairs.

*hands over IWA to Mrgrunt*
*hands over IWA to Tatty*

I've just mailed you back...I actually read your post *after* I'd sent a reply though...

OK, so if you've registered twice...can I go and greet the new you...? Come on Tatty, you could have some *fun* with this new ID...if you thought about it...

Don't worry, I'm not too terribly sad. Not really sad, just a little melancholy. You see, I've been having trouble hatching evil schemes lately. Sure, I can be malicious, mischievious, annoying, and can manipulate people to my hearts content, but I've just lost my ability to make a really 'evil' scheme. Take the snow cannon-It's mischievious, and a tiny bit annoying. It's somewhat usefull as a plot device, or even as a sub plot. But it isn't up to the standards of what I used to do.

*Stares at Surprise Doughnut/Donut for a few seconds*

You know, if Vegiman was a person I ran into more often, it might do two things: 1) Prove my hypothesis on the origins of supervillains, and 2) Help me get my evil touch back!

All I have to do is manipulate Vegiman. Hold on, I'm plotting.

*Eats donut/doughnut while plotting. Ampton dances*

Howdy, all. New boy here, referred to this baked goods emporia by the one they call... Eomando.
Did somebody say doughnuts?

Mmmm... doughnuts...

Or is that an old joke?
I wouldn't mind a doughnut if there's one going. A chocolate one with chocolate and extra chocolate.

PS I say, I say, I say, my smiley's got no nose... how does he smell? Well, he doesn't he's got no nose, has he?

Somehow, I don't think it'll work. You know the e-mail h2g2 send you? I deleted it without following the link, but (ever the optimist) give me a minute to try logging on again...

Well, if I can help your plotting in any way...just ask...

Who would like to see a really neat trick...?

Aww...come one...

...I'll even tell you how to do it afterwards...

Hey Al!

Sorry I didn't see you up there...you got lost in the posts...

I think a chocolate supremes the kind of donut you're after...*hands over a chocolate supreme*

Eat & Enjoy

Okay, I'll see this trick of yours. Thanks for volunteering to help in the fiendish plot. Now, the tricky part will be doing this while avoiding capture by Vegiman, publicity from the Post, and curses from Joanna.

Let's see this trick.

*Ampton continues dancing*

Don't worry about it afgncaap5, its just adrenalinne letdown from finishing the cannon. Soon you'll find a new project to occupy you. Its not much, but i've always considered the speakers on my jukebox to be a little weedy, perhaps you could beef them up a bit?

I can't get it to work...I had it all figured out as well...

...Oh well...

I did it more than once as well...(http://www.h2g2.com/forumframe.cgi?forum=30480&thread=40191) I just can't get it too work again... That ruins everything... But you can go to that forum & see that I did do it...and then someone else did after I told them how...

I'm sad now...

OKAY!!!

*Pulls screwdrivers and other such tools out of nowhere, and jumps at the jukebox, slapping an "Out Of Order" sign on it.*

If you need to listen to music, Ampton has an AM/FM/PM radio, a cassette player, a record player, and a CD player built in. He requested them after he first learned how to break dance. Hey, I've got an evil plan in the works already!

*Begins working on jukebox too vigorously for comfort*

Oh, and Eomando, what's this trick?

I am GOING to get this to work...

should

Oh, I will... I will.

*makes noise like 'nyum nyum nyum' as he eats doughnut*

Ah. Doughnuts.

Right, goin' to the offline place of doom they call the 'French assignment' now. If I'm not back in a week, send for help.

Drat! I didn't mean to post that...I meant to click preview to see if it had worked...but it hadn't which only makes it worse...I'm going to keep trying though...

Will do.

*looks over at the rapidly unrecognisable jukebox*
(Muttering) oh my god what have I done?
*Decides to put 'walk of life' on ampton but cannot find the cd tray*
Ampton where is your cd tray?
*Ampton whispers into mrgrunts ear*
WHERE!!!!!??? YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!?

*E cringes at the possibilities...*
