Vestboy II not playing the Telegram Game at U726319 Started conversation Mar 20, 2004
*tired and thirsty Vestboy made the massive journey from the H2G2 Hotel and his rejection from the woman he had once shared a Kit Kat with right to the other side of the H2G2 desert (under construction) to the wilds of North Africa and the beating sun on the desert fort of Abu Simbel.
With nothing but his ferrets, a copy of "Lord of the Vests" and something else he'd dropped on the way he was ready to forget*
Alas ze fort she is empty, All ze soldiers have funny 'oles in zem. Mon Dieu zey are daid!
Zat means but one zing. I am ze new commandant! Vive la France!
*closes fort door behind him and goes looking for something to drink.*
