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

Let's go surfin' now,
Everybody's learning how
Come surf the H2G2 river with me!

Yep, now you can surf the river between where the river Vavoom joins and the sea - it can get quite rough down those rapids!

<BB<

*grabs surfboard*
Shall we wait for some others to come along before we start? By the way how long have you been standing there? The last post was Dec 12, 2000!!!

~Skenvoy

I've been wanting to put this board in the river for quite some time now, I can tell you, but it seems that no-one else wanted to go surfing!
I sure am glad you came along - I wouldn't be able to hold on another year.

<BB<

I'll take it that we aren't gonna wait for anyone else to turn up then?
Suits me
lets go surfin...
*gets ready to surf*

~Skenvoy

Well, considering the amount of time I've waited already, I think we can let the others catch up when they arrive
So, ever surfed in a river before?

<BB<

Nope... not really ever properly surfed before , done a bit at the sea when i was about 8 or 9...
Have you?
*Prepares to start*

~Skenvoy

I've surfed in the sea a little - did okay, not brilliant - but never in a river. Well, there's a first time for everything!
Shall we wade in?

<BB<

Ok, lets go!
*wades into river and watches for the right moment to start surfing... it comes...*
Drat missed it!
*waits for the next best moment to start surfing starts surfing*
*Puts on Matrix *

~Skenvoy

Okay, I'm ready for this wave!
Let's go!

<BB<

*starts surfing*
Yeah, this is fun...
*stands up on board*
Hey i think i'm getting the hang of this again from when i was younger...

~Skenvoy

*Also manages to stand on the board*
You're right - once we get the hang of this, we may be experienced for the sea!

<BB<

You know i think it might be better to start at the sea, there are no rocks there... hold on, by saying that rocks are going to appear in the river aren't they
*looks around*
Nope, can't see any...
*tries a trick on his board by jumping up and getting it to flip 360 degrees underneith him, the board only goes 180*
Hmmm, o well, with practive...

~Skenvoy

Don't worry, the rapids are up stream, so we won't experience any rocks. Waterfalls, yes, rocks, no.

<BB<

Waterfalls...
Hey whys my board speeding up... BB you didn't say anything about waterfalls...
*tries board flip again, the bord goes 270 degrees this time*
ouch, that hurt when i landed...

~Skenvoy

Well, what's the difference between surfing the crest of a wave and a crest of a waterfall? They're both blue.
The first one won't be too far now...

<BB<

Hey, thats it there, lets go...
*gets to water fall, tries jump he's been practicing off it....*

......

~Skenvoy

Ah... Perhaps I should have practiced too...
Well, this is it - sink or drown!!!!!!!
Arrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

<BB<

*lands perfectly*
wow, i didn't jsut go 360 i went 720!!

~Skenvoy

Well, if this was fire, I'd have 3rd degree burns!

<BB<

Are you ok, your not too badly are you?
*tries jump again on the flat*
*succeeds*
O well i can do that jump now... be happy BB, as you said it was either sink or drown, and i don't think you did either...
Hey my Matrix style have fallen off... can you see tehm anywhere? This rivers probably propelling them along at the same speed as us...
