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

Thanks - those waffles are waffly versitile, as an advert or something once said.

So, have you got an icecream there?

<BB<

Your ice cream may be still in your bowl, or your tummy, or melted, I can't quite see. Mine was all gone hours ago. (I had mint choc chip with waffles, but no chocolate buttons because my two year old nabbed all mine.)

I hate it when they do that. Why is it that 'ice cream' is one of the first words that a child understands?

I always refer to it as 'frozen confectionary'.

<BB<

My son's first spoken word was mirror (no, we're not vain). The first word he understood was "train". The first spelling he learnt was s-t-e-a-m-t-r-a-i-n. We're now onto French, Latin and Phonetic spellings.
He'll be 3 in 10 days.

One of my son's first words was 'Voyager'. This morning he told me that Father Christmas would come out of the fire and give him presents tomorrow. And don't touch fireworks - they're dangerous.

*Kitty pads in*
*Kitty is supposed to be telling people that aendr has a problem with logging in and can't h2g2 at the moment, but Kitty is now rather distracted by ICE CREAM*
prrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Suspects that the prrrrrr!!!!! is a hint*

*Watches to see what flavour tub of ice cream kitty is most interested in*

<BB<

*Kitty likes chocolate, vanilla, mint choc chip, chocolate orange with cointreau and strawberry swirl, with chocolate sauce and chocolate buttons and a chocolate flake, a fan wafer and a curlywurly but absolutely no marshmallows. Thank you.*

*Passes an everything except marshmallow icecream over, but keeps the marshmallows for himself.*

*Stands back*

<BB<

prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Hmm, Kitty! You know you aren't supposed to eat that much ice cream all at once. No wonder you got a tummy ache!

And what about brain freeze?

<BB<

He's a cave lion from the last ice age. I doubt he has much of a problem with brain freeze. He has been known to sleep in the freezer in the summer months.

Life without brain freeze... What a super-power.

*Makes note - don't look for ice-cream in the freezer during the summer months*

<BB<

Oh, you won't disturb Kitty, and he won't have eaten it all. He usually sleeps in a meat freezer, not an ice cream one.

He might get ideas though.

Where's the saucy ice-cream seller these days?

I've not seen E Vibenstein for a while. Perhaps he's locked himself in one of his freezers?

<BB<

I think he was Duncan Bannatyne in disguise.

So is too busy being a these days.

A and a prehistoric lion in the same ice-cream queue? You don't see that every day...
