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

oo, Phil, how daring! I'll follow you next week.

Hallo ox, haven't seen you in a while here. What effect has all this petrol lark had on the courier business?

Joanna, welcome. It's been so long since you visited that I don't even remember it.

Anhedonia, feeling any better?

I had a look around in the visitor's forum, but that was it... so thats why you don't remember.

I am feeling extraordinarily (sp???) better... but I've been told to watch myself... and drink plenty of juice. Won't I look the fool, at w*rk all day with a gallon of Juicy Juice *100% juice for 100% kids*

Matina, a tall glass of OJ for Sporky. Do we need to lay in Juicy Juice here?

Hi, Lil! The petrol price is high, but business is good. No one wants to fight traffic or bond themselves to carry payroll and documents. Plus you can get gasoline credit cards that credit you extra gas. Not much help, but it adds up.

Hello again, good job I took that bunjee class...

*Phil contines past, but manages to get a beer out of the fridge and open it before shooting off*

Yeee haaaa

*skips all backlog again*

*still struggling with dictionary in sofa*

Pochard - would that be some kind of duck?

Matina, a Y, and could you get me that bottle of champagne from the fridge please... yes, the whole bottle!

Pochard - any of various diving ducks of the genus Aythya, especially A. ferina of Europe and Asia, which has gray and black plumage and a reddish head. Tastes very nice when cooked slowly in a "Crock Pot" with various spices and apricots.

Matina, duck a la orange please and an empty glass. Joins Titania.

*pours Løøny a Y of champagne*

Just in case you're wondering what I'm muttering about, this is the article I'm trying to understand and translate into Swedish...

..and this is the painting (by Gallen-Kallela) that triggered my curiousity of 'Kalevala' long time ago...

Ah, that was a fun way to spend the evening, hanging around on an elastic rope

Pops in for a Y of champers. Glug

IRL I am working on a programme for a beer festival to be held in my club. Included are six pages of drinking songs. Mmmmm, I wonder why they asked me to put it together.

Phil have you read my yarn about a bungee jump I once did?

Not yet, I'll go and look for it after some sleep
See y'all later!

*Wakes up for long enough to look at the article*

Very interesting.

*Walks over to Violet, and pets her on the head*

Hey, Violet. How've ya been lately? Your friends on the station sent this for you.

*Affy hands Violet a small package. Violet sniffs it, and gulps it in one bite*

There, you go.

Anyway, that was a neat article. I've never been bungee jumping, but always wanted to.

Affy, better now than never. Three, two, one, jump

*quietly makes her way up the stairs and shyly pokes her head through the door*

Hello?

FLAP FLAPP

*crosses to kitchen and find pork pie on counter. eats and drinks and washes face and hands*

Bungee jump is a very strange thing to do. Enough danger in the world already.

*Nods to Doughnut Lady*
*crosses veranda and goes to Quorthon rooms* Styx is tired.
