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

Lil: PBS just aired an advert that sounds just your thing -- open casting call for an American version of the 1900 House, except in the frontier Old West.

Let's give that another go: (URL removed by moderator)

Loony, whatever's a noni? And how does one juice it?

Lil, the site looks great...

Odradek, aren't you on Lil's mailing list (OTD)? If you are, then an explanation (of sorts) about noni juice and its magical powers is posted there.

...and the yarn is now posted here http://www.h2g2.com/A499403

Well, I'm unfamiliar with this 'noni juice' stuff, could someone please explain one of its magical properties?

EarthMother! How've you been? Thanks for the peanut blossoms.

*Enters brushing the snow off her shoulders and stomping her boots on the mat by the door. Carefully removes the boots and walks in stocking feet over to collapse near the fire, leaving a large box in the kitchen and snagging an eggnog on the way.*

Matina, that box has got a load of leftovers from tonite's dinner. Turkey, stuffing, whipped sweet potatos, green beans, apple pie, cookies, etc. Make 'em available to anyone that wants 'em.

Due to RL blizzard-like conditions, today's annual holiday family dinner turned into a feed the neighborhood buffet. I just sent home a boat load of very happy neighbors.

Affy, this comed from the noni juice yarn

I first heard about its miraculous healing properties in New Zealand when a friend rang up and by way of extolling the virtues of noni juice began: "You know how I can be a cruel, ruthless b*****d..." well, he continued, he'd been taking noni juice for a month now. He pissed like a fire hydrant, he felt boundless energy, his blood pressure count had dropped; he dropped his voice as he came to the relevant part, the bit he thought would interest me. "And my hair's grown back." I thought, "You cruel, ruthless b*****d."

Well I must be off to the club to celebrate New Year's Eve. I may be some time...

Have a good one everyone

*Waves to Loony, begins to nod off while enjoying the warmth of the fire.*

Tell us about the Y2KI for those of us who won't be experiencing it nearly as soon as you do.

*sea, still on the couch, whimpers when she realizes that tomorrow is sunday and there's no chance that she'll get her letter before the family xmas celebration*

[note: sorry to be perpetually harping on the subject, but it's really bugging me!!!!! if anyone has gotten sick of me whining, just say so, and i'll find somewhere else to whine... *grin*]

Nah, it's not bothering me too much.

Well, I've gotta go now. It's getting a tad late, IRL, and I don't like being tired upon waking up on Sundays. It always makes me feel rushed.

I'll get that tag in a moment, as soon as I feel normal again (sooner than you might think). The dog came and got me about two hours ago, insisted I leave the office. I went to see what her problem was and she led me into the living room where the telly was playing, just started a program about schizophrenia. I stopped to watch it, it was fascinating. And that was followed by a show about ventriloquists and their dummies. Who on earth is in charge of their programming?

earth mother, thank you for the peanut blossoms and welcome in to the atelier. The converstion goes in all sorts of directions, you'll get used to it. And now we have plenty of hot food thanks to Witty M.

So Nobel Prize winner John Nash is a schizophrenic (he won for his development of game theory), and so is his son, who has a PhD in math and hears voices...

Protest which?

Fox hunting, not witch hunting Odra

Last post of 2000 for me, hope the evening goes/went well for all and that the new millenium brings forth all that you want.

Bye-bye, Phil.

Interesting conversation about fox hunting. This is probably going to turn into another of the "Great Unanswered Question", though.

I hope I wasn't too heavy in that thread, but if you're going to do an article about fox-hunting, it's best to know about the sport, not just the political penumbra.

Going to phone the cyber-nephew in a few minutes... I shall tell him you're all terribly relieved he's gone.

Which reminds me, what can the brits tell me about Thirnotons chocolates? Mike sent me an assortment of truffles for Christmas, and I adored them.

I don't think you were too hard on 'em. Never hurts to mention the entire truth in an event like this.

The entire truth about last night entirely escapes me
