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

Ooooh! Marv, I want one too. The BioBug craze didn't last long, and one of them doesn't work anymore. You should see poor Zeppo looking at the thing - absolutely no understanding as to why it won't squiggle and chirp anymore.

I think the idea of sainthood is OK - honor people for lives well lived, and set them up as examples for the rest of us. However the practice of declaring saints falls short of the goals. Mind you, saints don't have any power, and Catholics don't believe they do (unless they are misinformed, which happens frequently). Catholics pray to saints for intercession - or in other words, asking the Saint to put in a good word with God being as they are so much closer to him.

I don't think I'll make it all the way to the crater. My hand is really soggy and I can't hold down this thingamabob much longer. Lil, where do you want that pit for the hot tub?

[itching to be here]

*completely and entirely off topic*

What kind of video character are you?
http://quiz.ravenblack.net/videogame.pl

I'm either Mario:
I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

...or Kung Fu Master:
I like to be in control of myself. I dislike crowds, especially crowds containing people trying to kill me. Even though I always win, I prefer to avoid fights if possible.

Hmmmmm...

I'm either a pacman ghost or pacman, which is odd, because I really detested pacman. I mean A LOT....

And I so wanted to be something fun, like the princess in Donkey Kong.

"I am a Thrust-ship.

I am small and tricky - where you think I am, I probably am not. I can work very fast, but I tend to go about things in a round about way, which often leaves me effectively standing still. I hate rocks. Bloody rocks."


By the way, if I don't survive this bomb-defusing, don't feel bad. I'm rather long-lived for a cardboard cutout, and what with the moustache someone drew on me and the frayed edges and the bullet hole and now the soggy swollen mass that I seem to have turned into, I'm probably due for recycling anyway. Plus there is absolutely nowhere left to write anything down on the back of my head anymore, nowhere, absolutely nowhere.

I am Mr Do - which means nothing whatsoever to me - or a Defender-ship.

I am a Scorched Earth Tank.

When I have a mission, it consumes me; I will not be satisfied until the job is done. I have a strong sense of duty, and a strong sense of direction. Changes in the tide don't phase me - I always know which way the wind blows, and I know how to compensate for it. I get on poorly with people like myself.

Now, this is a bit scary.

*waves at everyone*

I'd love to stay and chat, but alas, i had three midterms this week and have two next week, so i'm a bit stressed and exhausted. and my day isn't finished until 6:30. *sigh*

Give me that! That belongs to Lucky!
*snatches the bomb away from the cardboard d'Elaphant, taking the lower part of his arm, and strides off toward the Magic Forest*

Where's my blasted horse? I never should have gone off without the servants, they're the only ones around here that know how to do laundry or turn out a horse. Well, I shall just have to walk. Dome good to get away from all those communards indoors. Proper constitutional, what?

*as he enters the forest, Webjello-Bottomley can be heard talking to himself even after he disappears from view*

*Would be watching the webjello disappear with some concern, if she were here...*

Anyway, I'm an Asteroid.

I am a drifter. I go where life leads, which makes me usually a very calm and content sort of person. That or thoroughly apathetic. Usually I keep on doing whatever I'm doing, and it takes something special to make me change my mind.

Or Mario, which is nice.

[Munchkin, still not here]
I do like the look of those little cars, but I'd loose them so quickly.
Oh, and I'm a breakout bat.

I've been disarmed! It should have been the bomb, not me.

*on monitor*

Do you think I can come home now? Maybe we ought to catch Bottomley first...

Will someone artistic draw d'E another arm? Either that or buy him a one-handed keyboard.

Maybe MR could make a plywood d'E in her new workshop. Course that wouldn't be flexible. Bad idea. Does anyone mold rubber?

I'm a Breakout Bat. Sort of fitting since I spend most of my day rushing around like a bat out of hell.

*from somewhere out in the Magic Forest there is a muffled ~crump~ followed by a rattling of saucers in the kitchen. After nearly a minute of silence, the normal forest noises of birds, crickets, dragons etc. resumes*

I became a Light Cycle (which I thought was really really cool)

d'E I got one last night at a kiosk in the mall. It is actually illegal in the US as it runs on an unapproved frequency. It is a fast little bugger and tons of fun. I forget the brand name, but it is an import from SIngapore I think.

Lil! Come home now!!!

Actually, I could make a wooden d'e. It would look rather like one of those artist's figures, all rounded. Of course, opposable thumbs would be a challenge...

I hope there will be a big homecoming party for Lil. Will all the other "not present" salonistas be arriving soon?

Is anyone going to send out a search party for JAW-BIII? And how will this affect the wedding plans? And since it takes two hands to open dog food cans, will Matina feed Zeppo until d'E is restored? A hungry is a cranky .

Was that an...explosion?!?...in the majic forest?

If I was here, I would get all excited and rush out to investigate.

Oh, and I'm a Mario.

Oddly enough I'm a Death Chase Rider.

I enjoy taking risks, and I get kicks from speed, danger, and death-defying stunts. I drink and drive, I bungee jump, I snowboard, with no regard for my own life, or the lives of those who stand in my way. Trees? I laugh at trees!

This sounds nothing like me...
