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

A very well compiled article this - Menza and Irving should definately link to it!
Incidently \__/== is a saucepan
and v/_\3 is a kettle - for use in cooking at the Aroma cafe.
But it's a very well compliled list - and thanks for remembering to credit me with it all!

<BB<

I would like to submit my dyslexic attempt at cheers -- |_bd_| -- chrees!

That's as good a "cheers" as any -in fact, any design that works is valid - there've been a few intereesting design mugs like c{_} and
c[_], c(_) (~)3 |_B Almost anything, really.

And remember |_|! (_)3

We seem to have forgooten the whole range on Doanogran Souveneir tankards.

C(_) C[_] etc

and the travle variety c(_) I do believe

And don't forget the cc((~)) Double Espresso I think that was Lil's at the Aroma cafe.

Was my typing something awful in my last post I do apologise.

Excuse me why I try out a few experiments. They may look silly when posted so I'll announce their names afterwards when I've decided what they look like.

}{ ?_? Î_Î ? ¶_| ?¬ ‚—‚ Ÿ

As I suspected some of them didn't turn out as planned.

The survivors are:

}{ -- a schooner of sherry like my mum used to drink when we went to the Berni Inn.

¶_| -- an alternative to for left-handers

‚—‚ -- I'll go and sit at that table until you shout out my number and try to deliver something completely other than the thing I ordered.

Ÿ -- a martini with two olives, I know how to live you know.

Another experiment.

Hopefully this will be suitable for Mybrainhertz who is Australian.

? (or c?¯? or ?¯? if I'm feeling really mean!)

Oh dear, none of those worked, any suggestions for southern hemisphere users?

Hmmm! An interesting point there Amy! As Linus, who compiled the article, is of antipodean origin, I guess that they all manage quite well over there with the ones already provided! It would be amusing to have a good upsode-down version though, if only to indicate that my glass is empty and needs filling up quickly!

ermmm! Not really eh?

Yes, /**\ works or /^^\ or /~\ perhaps?

/**\ is what I meant! I wonder what happened to the other bit! LOL
I will send Linus over here and see what he has to say

Found my own way over here without you Shazz

I get the funny feeling it could take a while to compile the guide entry for this ...

As for upside down ones, nice idea but the normal ones work fine here because we drink every thing before it has a chance to hit the ground

We definately do.

I can certainly vouch for Bluebottle on that score yes!

For most upside down glasses you could just replace the _ with an over score, which I can't happen to find on my keyboard right now
Oh, well

*sympathy*

How about -< for a spilt drink...
