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

I've got MaW's head here. Any one seen the rest of him??

Only it's rather odd because the damn thing won't stop spinning. Look...

*head spins happily round and round, humming a little tune*

Wierd.

fabt

What's the tune,fabt?

* Applies brake pad to MaW's revolving head.
[Big screeching noise]

Y'know, I don't think it's wise to make illusions like that when MaW isn't here.

Why? he can always get a new head.

[Jac tosses the head up; YK uses the Force to break the illusion; the head promptly vanishes] Don't do that again.

Why not? It's fun.

* Does it again.

Ah, whatever. [Juggles pieces of pi]

* returns from the terrible void of ISP malfunction, entering, rather boringly and mundanely, through the front door. *

I'm back!

* reads previous posts *

Ah. I see I have to deal with my errant sister. Excuse me.

* produces a large flamethrower and goes in search of fabt *

* Eyes gleam with delight. Produces imaginary rocket-launcher and follows MaW with visions of carnage flaring in his primitive little mind.

* eyes Jacculus and sees pure evil incarnate peeking over his shoulder. Balefires it. *

[voice of two-headed Troig announcer in Star Wars 1: TPM] Ow, I don't care what universe you're from, that's /gotta/ hurt!

* Fires rocket at wall for no apparent reason

Yes. I'm going into my T-16 back home.

...

No, it's a T-16 speeder, christened "Back Home".

I hate to correct you, YK, but T-16s are skyhoppers, not landspeeders.

* Evil Incarnate the Second sticks its tongue out from behind the sofa. MaW balefires it, accidentally punching a smooth-edged hole through the sofa in the process. *

And if that announcer says even one word about this he's for it as well!

Skyhoppers, speeders, whatever; I never said "landspeeder," I said "speeder" which could also mean "airspeeder" which could also be referred to as "skyhopper," besides which the Force-strong farmboy's name is SkyWALKER, not SkyHOPPER.

And hatred is the path to the Dark Side.

YK, I was under the impression that airspeeders and skyhoppers were different things. And I didn't even mention Skywalker the Evil One.

Hatred may be the path to the Dark Side, but only if you're Force-sensitive. I'm not. Aes Sedai can do more or less what they want unless they've sworn the Three Oaths (or any combination of them). But since I haven't, it doesn't really matter very much.

[tries to find a way out of the situation] Damn. All right.

I didn't mean I had a T-16 back home, I have a T-16 SKYHOPPER called "Back Home."

Happy? Okay. [exits]

*Explodes. *BOOM*

[YK's clone Y2K enters with a subspace radio speaker and turns it on]

[Y2K: "With this he'll be able to talk to us."]

[The "Back Home" takes off and starts flying away]

[YK, over radio] Er ... maybe I should ... y'know ... Oh damn these new forums! [pause] Well, maybe not. This thing wouldn't stand a chance against an /unarmed/ ship attacking it! [pause] Also, damn the fact that they switched the positions of the buttons!

[The T-16 flies out of sight]

[wait a bit]

[YK, over radio] I've reached the Feedback Page now ... I will now ... wait ... [pause] That's interesting. I've found a forum entitled "Navigating forums now harder." I'll land there.

[The background noise changes slightly, and a moment later dies down altogether]

[YK, over radio] I'm getting out now. [sound of him getting out. A moment later, we hear him shout] DAMN THIS NEW FORUM LAYOUT! AND THE SWITCHING OF THE LOCATION OF THE BUTTONS! PUT IT BACK NOW! [Sound of him getting in] There. I will be returning momentarily.
