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

Welcome to the H2G2 beach, where there's always sun, sea, sand and surf, and hopefully a few wonderful people to meet.
I'd like to remind you all that this is a HRASC area, so no swimming costumes or the sharks'll get you!

But sit back, relax, and enjoy the swimming.

Ahhh... it's a shark! a SHARK!

Oh. Well... it *looked* like a shark from where I'm sitting... but maybe it was just a fish...

*removes his ski mask, sunglasses, and newspaper*

Oh yes, so it was just a fish...

Well, that's a relief. Can't have sharks hanging about the place, now can we?
So, who is going to build a sandcastle, but NOT to gigantic proportions?

I'm too tired I think I'll just relax here with my parasol and towel and book and cold drink, & see if any gorgeous lifeguards show up...

*turns up*

*wonders if he sould make a comment about life guard line*

......

*thinks better of it *

Wise choice, Menza...

Dear oh dear oh dear...
Well, I don't know about you - but I'm going to check that there aren't any invisible JCBs lying around.... I don't want another mountain or two built...

A sandcastle proper would be nice, though...

*continues to wait *

Waiting.. ah yes. That's very relaxing, you know.
So, why are you waiting so hard?

I demand that this may or may not be a very silly thing to say.

I demand that a gorgous lifeguard turns up THIS INSTANCE

*wonders where they are*

*relaxes and continues talking to the Beach*

It would be scary if it started to talk back.

It would indeed.
I'm waiting for EV to turn up so I can deliver some ice cream to his stall.

*Silicate rustling*

:::::::::::::::::::::::::

*Translated: I can talk and I can also hear. Oooh, a forum named after me *

Sandcastles....love to build one...

Only not to gigantic proportions???

Oh come on BB...you know we don't do things by halves on h2g2...

Time to get the shovels then.

Oh, dear, I'm in another forum at the Beach. That must mean that /this/ me is a figment of his own imagination! [vanishes in a puff of logic]

[A much smaller pink bubble is flying up near the Island of Mewem. It's at the old Waterworks and Beach page]

Shovels??? We can't just start off with the invisble JCB's???

Then again...we do already have 2 giant sandcastles....hmm....we've already perfected that...

We could always try to dig to the center of the Earth...?

[Abruptly, YK is exactly where he had been before he vanished in a puff of logic] Great! We need a new sort of insane adventure besides "Swimming to Jupider" (sp?)! Digging to the center of the earth!
