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

~pretends to be thinking about this~
Well, it's about 9am here now, so I guess that would be OK ...

* Ponders to self: 'Oh, what a lovely service it was'. Then proceeds to sob a little *

*Ponders a little harder: 'I don't suppose it's the time or place to say they aren't really compatible. No, it's best not to let on...'*

Well, it's a little quiet in here...

What's this little machine do...

* Midi music plays, only drunk people could even derive pleasure out of that *

* Mike in hand, swinging it like no mortal can, the Sinatra fan, goes at it with deft style & elan, unfortunately, things don't go quite to plan... *

...I did it, MMMYYYYYYY WAAAA...Oh, er... NOOOO!!!!

Oh, myself !!!

* HE picks through the remnants of the tape in the machine, managing to extract the web of looping fibre, he makes for the box with other tapes. *

Oh, no. There's only Dancing Queen & Born to be Wild left...

* Don't feel so well now... *

What you need is a drink. How about a Tequila Rose, God A.

Well if your in a generous mood...

* Gulp (it doesn't even hit the side of the glass, to avoid ... evaporation) *

Not bad...

Us immortals tend to go for something stronger.

* Produces a small metal hipflask *

It's called Rasputin's Chemical Mindrotter.

* HE Pours a small cap full of the clear liquid and proffers it to the already drunk Alicat *

Mind though, the skull & crossbones on the label, isn't a mere affectation...

* Momentarily, ponders what Greebo is up to... *

* blushes *

* thinks: Whipped Cream *

- Simply, High Spirited

She'll just be putting it on the doughnuts.

Thanks for the drink, God. I have a feeling it will be best to be drunk tonight. The Leafs are playing, could you pull some strings? alicat*

*To G-A:*
Don't know what you're blushing for. You invented IT.

Yes, I did invent ‘Whipped Cream’, but I didn’t think humanity would go at it with such alacrity & enthusiasm...

- Answering the Hard Questions (...just as long as there to do with granite)

Granite is good. I think if it wasn't used so much for tombstones, people would like it more. Would you happen to have another nip of Rasputin's magic elixer? It seems to give me new insights.

* HE looks closely at Alicat’s ears, which seem to be emanating smoke *

* Ponders enigmatically : It’s probably too late to do anything about it now... *

Here, have the rest of the flask...

* HE ducks off to do some of the mountain of work, HE has been avoiding, whilst playing the dilettante *

Quack, Quack...

- Wilfully, Moving in Mysterious Ways

Thank you, God. Not just for the flask. For everything.

Yeah! *With sarcastic note to her voice*

Thanks for everything, indcluding the Easter two weeks and one day (but who's counting?) school holidays! Thanks a bunch!

*Sits down in corner, rocking, sucking her thumb and pulling her hair out whilts watching her kids wreck the house and eat all the food...*

Can't you just lock them in a cupboard or something?

LOL. Sorry, Gwennie. I never even thought of that. I only have dogs to wreck the house. Still LOL.

I'm fairly good at wreaking our house, and especially eating the food.

LOL.

Well, there are the BIG HOOKS on the wall and the child sized straight jackets but they're a last resort as the Social Services are a bit funny about things like that!!!!

I can cope with three dogs (one's a puppy) and five cats and mostly my long-suffering hubby, but two kids and for two argument filled weeks????? *Starts to mumble incoherently and continues rocking*

My God, Gwennie. I'm so impressed. I only have 2 dogs, (one's a 1 year old lab) 2 cats and a savage parrot. How do you manage it all? I am going to make a wish that all will be peaceful for you over the holidays. Bless you, Gwennie. P.S. You could always escape to Los Vegas with us, on the Red Bus. http://www.h2g2.com/h2g2/skins/Alabaster/images/Smilies/f_smiley.gif" />

Lucky for some.

What? Lucky? For going on the bus or having a mad house to live in?
