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

*Takes a shirt*

Well, okay. Let's see . . . I've got one. It doeesn't have a timer on it, though, so . . . hey, wait a minute! Eomando, do you really want all three of you in this shot? I mean, it might let us take the picture, right? Right? I think . . . hang on a second.

*Runs into donut stall and gets some coffee*

Okay, just a precaution. Now, where was I?

All 3 of me in the shot..? Erm...no...I don't think that's really necessary...after all...then one of me can take the shot...and I think the other ones at the dont stall anyway...and didn't get to climb Mt. Sandcastle...

Erm...no...definitely don't need 3 of me in it...

*Walks into position*

Okay, then. Now, which one of you will take the picture?

*Each of the E's stares at the other one, knowing fine well that they were about to volunteer to do it...but also knowing that they knew...and after that it just gets complicated*

I'll take it...

*one E (the one who climbed all the way to the top, not the one that got 1/2 way) goes to stand in the photo whilst the other one goes to take the picture*

Everyone say "donuts!"

Doughnuts.

Close enough

*click*

*Hopes that her rush into the picture was not too late and that the over-sized T-shirt isn't looking as ridiculous as it feels.*

*Is in the picture, but wonders why the Mountain seems to be leaning this way so much in it. BB looks up, and sees that the top of the mountain is leaning towards them even more. The mountain's unstable*

*DD hurriedly runs off to see if he can find a civil engineer to try and sort out the problem*

*E sticks her hands in her pockets for a moment or two, then pulls out the pocket civil engineer that had helped with Mt Sandcastle*

Great! Can you do anything to prevent this mountain falling over?

*Thinks for a moment. Runs to the Snow Cannon (well, it is just outside the donut stall, right?) and pushes some buttons. The Ride Of The Valkeries can be heard, just before . . .*

BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!!

*The 40 ton snowball hits the mountain, and nudges it in the oposite direction*

That'll buy us some more time . . . any ideas, Mr. Engineer?

I have a GREAT idea; run like mad.
Always works for me.

Wait, wait. I'm a civil engineer in RL. Maybe I can think of something in VR.

*Pulls out pencil and paper and calculator and modem and frantically begins writing equations.*

*The mountain give a rumble.*

Must be that cave system that weakened the structure.

*A few rocks tumble by.*

Ok, I've got it. We need to be elsewhere in about 3 minutes.

*Exits, stage left*

*Sets the cannon for an automatic-timed blast, and jumps in. In a few seconds, he is surrounded in a safe cushion of snow, and being hurled after Garius.

The snow shield should protect the stall from the avalanche. Still, the stall will be buried, and I'm not even responsible! What's wrong with the universe??

*NOTE-No one say 42 for your own safety.*

Great I enjoyed you other projects. The M25, Tower of Pisa, the Dome.

*Hurtles through the air, rapidly catching up with Garius, who is shocked that a giant snowball is rolling after him*

I know it's impossible to aim the cannon at Garius and me. Let's say it aimed low.

*E locates one of the invisible JCB's by stubbing her toes on it, then hops in, offering everyone else a lift as she heads off after the others*

*DD wonders why the waves seem to be saying Wonga, Wonga, Wonga*

You mean you *didn't* know about this one DD...

Oh yeah...I remember now...I was keeping it in reserve as self defence...
