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

And look over here, a whole section for Mane Meals, including canter-lope, pinto beans, a hot and colt buffet, s-pony ice cream, steeple cake and a white whinney spritzer.

Oh no. Under the “eating on the hoof” section you can get a quarter pounder horse on thoroughbread with extra fetacheeselock and roan on the cob with Mustangy sauce.

I’ve a sinking feeling that I know what happened to Champignon the Wonder Horse now

And a Quatro Stallione pizza

Looks over Caer's shoulder. There’s more ….. they can do Lippizaner (the fast food that delivers itself), Foalafel and New Forest Gateaux.

For drinks they do Brumby and coke, Suffolk Rum Punch and PaleAleMino.

And is that Curried combs and mint hoof picks I see?

If y'all keep reading those menu items somebody, namely me, is going to be sick.

Now, who all has located a button, switch, lever, etc? I know of the button that RD found, the blue button and the candy striped lever.

RD, you can stop opening and closing the trunk/boot and don't be pushing or pulling anything either.

The lever is simply for releasing the rudder for purposes of repair, I discovered that prior to the last Gobold attack. I do not recall seeing that blue button though.

*Walks over to Caer's position and inspect the button, opens the panel the button is on, discovers it's for the bilge pump.*

No idea how I missed that button.

Anybody else found anything?

I haven't found a button, but I have found a small hole, very much like the kind on a CD-ROM drive for ejecting a stuck CD with a paperclip. And Zeppo has found something that looks exactly like the valve on an inner tube. He's chewing on it as we speak.

RD, I can put Toby in the Pocket-of-Destiny. He'll be quite comfortable in there. Lots of gress to munch. He might even find some friends. G*d knows what's in there at this point.

Hey uhh d'E? Can you stop Zeppo from chewing on the raft please?

Can Zeppo have some burger, d'E? I can't finish this one, too many fruit fries but might stop him chewing the raft.

That's probably a good idea, considering what he did when he chewed the valve on my air mattress. Former air mattress.

Hey sea, do you have a paperclip in your pocket?

*Goes over and looks at what d'E found*

I think you might be onto something, d'E. There's a little label next to the hole. All I can read is "CAUTION", then there is some very fine print underneath it.

*Throws Zeppo the remains of her burger*

*Meanwhile, the horse related punnings have caused the pun-tolerance meter on Affy's OmeGauntlet to begin fluctuating wildly. Affy works like mad to disconnect it from the orange button, but only does so by reconnecting it to the communication features. A message is transmitted, and even though Affy doesn't know this a message is sent to a pizza delivery service on the other side of the Galaxy, where it is interpreted as an order for a large super-supreme pizza. The pizza workers revel at having their one millionth customer finally call, and prepare a great big pizza for free, and toss in several balloons and T-shirts and 2-litres of Crater Fizz soda free of charge. The delivery would normally be free as well, but considering the distance there will be at least a tip expected. This has little to no bearing on the current situation, but it is a point of interest*

I can't quite make it out either, GL. Hmmmm....I used to carry paper-clips with me all the time before we built robots who carried paper clips for us. None of those robots are around, though.

*Pokes about her tote bag.*

Here, I have a 00 knitting needle. It ought to be fine enough to fit in that pin hole.

*Hands the needle to GDZ.*

Horses don't eat gress.

Seriously, I think Toby might be more handy for all of us if he came along as pack horse. Horses bring luck, I have found. *finishes off her fruit fries* McApe, do y'all serve tea?

Tea? Certainly. We have Ooklong, Jasminian devil, Girl Ray and Orangutan Pekoe.

*The OmeGauntlet begins sparking profusely and shaking*

She cannae take much marr o' this!

*Rummages around in his pack and brings out a magnifying glass. Reads the label next to the pin hole.*

"CAUTION: Do not remain onboard for more than 10 seconds after pushing this button."

I think we found it.

*Peers through the magnifying glass by looking over Zomnker's shoulder*

Yeah, that'd probably be it. Or maybe that's the "teleport to a black hole" button. I can't really see anyone putting that type of button onto a ship, though.
