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

*comes out to edge of crater to visit*
Hi Chrome and Kumabear! Chrome, the more time I spend at your hotel, the better I like it! May you have many more events that establish l'Hotel Chrome as A Place To Go!

*helps herself to cheese and crackers* Has there been any more news from the techies?

FMOOO!

Oh! Cult chat!

I believe that that is the sacred call of the hair-lipped cow, Lil.

I'm afraid the service isn't as good as usual today -- the maid service, not the religious service (disclosure: I am eating brownies IRL) -- due to difficulties with the maid bot.

When I spoke to Marv yesterday, he seemed completely unaware of the banquet that you and he were invited to. Did you get your invitation? All the opposition candidates were invited.

How odd. No, I didn't get an invitation to anything. Would it have been on my page?

No need to apologize for the service. I'm sure that even robots have days when they don't feel quite up to snuff.

I think Redbeard mailed invites to the campaign hq pages. It's not too late, you know. Get on some fancy clothes and come on over. Um, on this forum, among the other threads, you'll see an invitation to the CLI staff -- the URL for the party will be there. I'll join you there if you'll come -- huge amounts of food and drink still about! And last I saw, Joanna and DD were there, dancing.

*The callbox crackles to life*

I'll get to the work on repairing that robot as soon as I finish off all of the dificulties. The psyche-scan is emitting the...oh boy. Everyone may want to take a few steps back from the shield, right now! Do it!

*Several bolts of lightning shoot from a tower at the top of the main CLI building, hitting the force field*

Okay, the scan is functioning normally now. Crisis averted.

Thanks, Lil. I joined in and have just finished an invigorating Chicken Dance with Loony.
Unfortunately, RL has interfered this past week and I haven't had a chance to check the campaign page. I'm off to do that right now.

*As Affy is just about to get the results from the Psyche-Scan, when a test tube materializes out of nowhere, startling Affy, and rebooting the test. Snarling Affy looks at the test tube. It's apparently a drink called "Spiffy", mixed from phlog and other various drinks. An Affy in another forum apparently wants to know why the "Spiffy", while basically the same as phlog isn't dangerous to non-magical life forms. Affy scowls, and pours the spiffy into a testing machine, restarts the Psyche-Scan, and waits*

*seems to recall something about a Spiffy....feels thirsty and a little drunk.....wonders at this.....* hic'

*Looks at the first results from the psych scan.*

Well, all negative. We can probably rule out an alien presence. Better make sure though.

*Readjusts the setting on the machine to search over a broader range. Hesitates, then holds breath and pushes start button. For a few minutes nothing happens. Then, nothing continues to happen. GL breathes out a sigh of relief. Just then, the machine begins to hum. GL thinks: funny - haven't heard it do that before. Suddenly he realizes that the humming is a tune, and a naggingly familiar one, on the tip of his cerebellum. Wait .... Oh Jeez. It's the theme from "Mork and Mindy".*

Where did these rainbow suspenders come from?

*holds them out in front of her and looks around for someone to explain them*

*singing quietly to self.......*


"...just some good ol' boys
never meanin' no harm....."

*yawn* How long is this analysis taking???

Well, it IS taking a long time, but we must be thorough, musn't we.

*The humming from the machine changes. Again, it is naggingly familiar, but just out of reach. GL rolls his eyes as recognition dawns.*

The theme from My Favourite Martian.

*Chrome's trigger finger begins to itch severely*

trigger finger also suffering from convulsions. Starting to believe(once again) that violence is always the best solution.

S**t.......did I just say that aloud?

*looks unhappy* You didn't stay very long at the atelier last night. Was it because I didn't have any salmon?

Sorry, Lil. I started messing with my page and screwed up the colors. I spent most of the night finding a combination that I like. I'm close but not quite there yet.
