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

*Ammends the napkin - it now says 'Beware the Ferrets Moriarty, Sherlock and Dr. Watson, and possibly some others that have not been named yet' (the last bit is in very small writing)*

Isn't Sherlocks' Brother called Mycroft?

MB's group of weasels taunt the ferrets... " getting a bit grey around the temples this time year, eh OLD ferret!" chortle chortle

That's not very nice Mr Boffin... could you tell them to stop please, if you don't mind?

thats Boffin but I answer to MB

and no I think I'll let them run with the taunting for a while...see where it takes us

Right sir----I mean, Mr.---Dr.----this is awfully confusing sir...

Oh stop it MB will do. Any chance of a drink ? Just had to suppress a mutiny by the airforce, it doesn't half cause a thirst (or as they say in Scotland "I've a Drooth in my Mooth")

Coming right up sir!

*Looks at ferrets more closely*
Nope his brother is definitely Moriarty. I don't have a ferret called Mycroft.
*silence while brain works*
Doesn't he set puzzle questions for the Brain of Britain quiz?
It doesn't matter what the weasels say, the ferrets don't speak weasel. To be honest they don't speak anything much other than nip.
*Dr Watson bites vesties finger*
Oh and a bit of bite.
*silence while brain works*
That sounds a bit IT related doesn't it. I have tried them on a keyboard but I had to disinfect it after I had wiped it on my vest.

MB offers Vestboy a copy of the complete works of Arthur Conan Doyle... why would Sherlock have a brother with the same name as his nemisis?

They fight a lot.

...

Awefully quiet here lately, don't you think?



*Puts a coin in the jukebox, pushes random button*


Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight...


*Sigh*

please.

*Throws peanuts one at a time in an attempt to catch them in his mouth. 2 metre high mound of peanuts has assembled itself behind his stool.*
Does anyone ever manage to do this?

Nope, never did manage that...

*Gets Hellie a *

*downs Nope, Dubya does not sound any less stupid when I'm *brrrp*

That's too bad about the elections ma'am...

Hi, please.

I'll have an too please.
It was sooo close in the USA. I guess Bush would have won if the electoral college votes had been apportioned by proportiortional representation but I do still wonder.

The UK system has a similar flaw.

*Slides two s over the counter*

I never really got the point of that system. Why can't they just count the votes?

*serving herself another as the Lady seems to have stepped away*

I dunno, why can't they jus' count the votes. I think 'scuz they can't count...*brrrpp*
