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

Hallo Marv, has your pneumonia finally receded? You have all my sympathy! Believe me, I know how nasty the new bug is.

Why don't you and Sporky sample some powdered phlog? I woke up with a completely clear head. On the other hand, you could try some of this salsa. On the B scale (bellicose, berserk, bomb-test) it rates pretty high.

*Barney sneeks in and tries to hide behind everyone, embarassed because she has very little recollection of the last 21 hours.*

*wanders back to party after a long walk in the forest*
I think it's time for some punch!

Very clever, Barney, hiding behind a simulpost! Now, you ~would~ be able to remember last night if you had posted your strangeness out in public the way Odra and I did!

ox, this bot is Chesworth, and he is looking after us down here on the beach. You want something, ask. He rolled a barrel of phlog down here, by the way, and I've been drinking it with powder. Odra has been drinking it with powder AND vodka, and she has named the drink a Flashpoint. You can ask her how good it is if you can find her...

*chuckles at thought of Odra and Flashpoint*
I don't think I'm ox enough to handle that drink! Chesworth...I think I'll have something tame. Mead, please.

*proudly*
I talked to GR/QM on the phone this afternoon! Talked to his mum first and discovered -- amazing as this may seem -- that he is a very quiet boy around the house. We discussed whether he ought to be sold to the Huns, and his mom was thinking about what she could do with the money, but then we got to worrying about litigation and she decided she better keep him.

Well, I had a really nice conversation with him later on when he got home for tea, although he really does mumble. He's very nice. But I knew that already.

*grabs some chips and pours some salsa into a paper cup* Mmmm, hot.

Mumble? GR? Nah...!

Lil, The ole lungs are getting better tho I am coughing like crazy. I think I might try some phlog, thanks!

Marv

*concerned*
Marv, be very careful about that cough. After my 4th relapse I permanently lost some lung capacity. You'll be feeling impatient to get on with the backlog of your life and that cough will come back and get you. Stay quiet for another 10 days. Think like how you should take a full course of antibiotics even when you you're feeling better.

Hi, Marv...I hope you feel better soon! Lil, how did it feel breathing dry New Mexican air instead of high humidity?

Phlog... is this an S&M party?

Well, it was wonderful. Mind you, my sinuses reacted badly to the altitude, and next time I go out there I'll have to hang around Albuquerque or Deming for a while until I get adjusted. But I definitely felt an overall improvement in my well-being.

And it's been hard to get motivated to exercise, since I returned, because of the oppressive humidity. *sips powdered phlog*

I nearly found myself in your neck of the woods recently Lil. I might have gone to Jacksonville for a few weeks. But I missed that oppurtunity. Perhaps for the better as I got ill. Thank you for your concern. I am back at work, but as it is a desk job I think that I will be allright.

I'm not surprised GR's quiet around the house. He sounds "dark" like my son, and he was quiet around here, too. Incidently, when I discussed all "that" conversation with the boy, I got a REAL chewing out for even thinking bad thoughts about GR.

Jacksonville is 5 or 6 hours from here, not accounting for traffic in rush hour as you go through Orlando...

GR said he was going to be online by now. I wonder if he has had more ISP problems.

No problems, just addictive friends.
If I wasn't battering them with a newspaper arguing whether watching Dragon Ball Z is better than listening to Green Day (I prefer the former btw), then you're either drinking cheap appleade in the streets (too young for cider ) then watching Red Dwarf in a sleepy comatose.

I think I missed half the action again. What happened? Oh I'm nearly 15 now...

I'm waiting in my cold cell, when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life, and it doesn't have much time
Cos at three o'clock, they take me to the gallows pole...
The sands of time, for me, are running
Low.........................................................

Carry on!

*remembers old Stratocaster and double stack of Marshalls*

*sighs*

*remembers there's a Ritchie Blackmore Limited Edition Fender out there somewhere*

*claws her way out of the very large RL temporal vortex into which she accidentally had managed to stumble in the course of the tag game. Springie spent her time peering down into the gaping vortex chasm, being adorable and absolutely of no help at all *

*wriggles out at last; vortex closes behind her. She bounds back up the beach*

The triumphant return...l need a drink.

*Feeling a bit overwhelmed by all these new (to her) faces.*

Hullo everyone! Marv, I'm glad you are better, but listen to Lil. 10 more days at home, just to make sure you've beaten the bug.

Lil, I've put the two horses in with yours. Hope that's ok.

I'd like to try the Phlog. With or without the powder.

Will there be a Birthday cake?
