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

I would like to hereto let it be known that I am perfectly willing to sell candidates daft statements and incorrect answers from my quiz for political gain and financial improvement to the highest bidder.

No, POSTresearcher, I don't think we need to continue on that... It's in the past and it's time to move on to the issues

Lil has said it all. The allegations weren't true and The Celery is an upstanding candidate. He has consistently denied any wrongdoing in the situation. The fact that peanut butter was even mentioned in the case shows that this was clearly an attack by people who were jealous of the excellent work The Celery had done in organizing the Biome.

Don't talk rubbish. Which country has a president who represents that country.
Who started this discussion anyway. Why does the president have to be representative for h2g2.
You have to see the policy of the candidates, not if it's a he/she, black/white, christian/moslim, etc.
On the pages of h2g2 you can't see any differences, why seek them.
Everyone is equal to another, but some people have more sense for responsabilty.

Vote on me, it's the right choice.

I also think BB is just trying to be a little elitist here. Sure me and Joanna have only been here since December. So what? Are we not as much a part of H2G2 as he is? Do the three of us not consistantly fill a spot on the most prolific researchers list. Do the three of us not all contribute a vast amount of articles to keep the guide alive. Number of weeks on h2g2 is not a factor in this election and shouldn't be, should a newbie chose to stand they have as much right as someone who joined on 28 April 1999. Moreover, representation is about where you are not just who you are.

As I said in my interview I'm in a lot of corners of h2g2 and have meet a lot of friends, I feel on that account I can represent them.

If only Presidency was like the Navy. In the Navy you have Admirals, Rear Admirals, Vice Admirals and Admiral of the Fleet.
In which case, in this election
Peregrin could be President of the Fleet
Joanna could be President
I could be Vice President
and DD could be Rear President.

*realises what he's just said*
Hmmm.... well...
...maybe not...

Do we chalk that up to homophobia, further elitism or something else. Any way you know how I'll report it.

BTW the Civil Service and therefore the Navy no longer works on strict seniority for promotion.

Urm... something else sounds good. I don't think I was being terribly elitist, was I? In the future I shall carry on talking about pyjamas and feet. I think they are vital to a campaign.

I thought the Navy worked on a "I am the Queen's son, therefore I *WILL* be promoted!* basis...?

Well they go to the top eventually. Although Andrew has worked for his.

But who said all was fair in politics. Mind you you do save me the problem of posting that comment of yours to the scandal and romours page as it is already here.

Oh! Oh! I've got a scandal for you! Don Alfredo claims to be The Godfather, *BUT* he isn't a member of STUMPED! Why? Could it be that Don Alfredo isn't all the bad he claims to be? Could it be that there isn't really a decent scandal other than this one?

*Grins at breaking the rules of threadiquette by changing the subject so abruptly*

Sorry, that was just shameless self promotion on my part. Please, carry on.

So .... Don Alfredo sees no reason for a candidate to represent h2g2. Hmmmmm. I wonder if the voters will be so blind...

Pierrot: Aaaawwk, shot in the foot.

To quote DD: "representation is about where you are not just who you are."

The Celery couldn't agree more. Being *inside* h2g2, he has a huge advantage over the other candidates in the "where you are" category. As for the "who you are" category, his record speaks for itself.

Hmmmmmm!!
I still think that The Celery is trying to cover something up! Was there any talk of May O'Naise at all?

BB considers pajamas and feet vital to a campaign. Just what do you on your campaign, BB, in your pajamas, with your feet? And with whom?

Pierrot: Aaaaawk, watch the sleeping dog lie.

A very valid question!
shazzPRME

No, there was no mention at all of May. She was kept completely out of it. And hardly any mentionl of Ms Cheez Whiz, either. And besides, all of the allegations were completely false. Not a shred of evidence. Categorically denied.

So pleased to hear it! Mr Celery looks far to clean to have any dirt between his layers!
shazzPRME

Of course! You should've seen the other plants when we started putting up election signs in the Biome. Ranger Triff wanted to help, and he was one of the people who complained originally! If the Biome can forgive and forget, can't h2g2 see that there was clearly nothing going on. But as to the dirt, no, he frequently spends time helping little seedlings in the CLI garden. He is, quite literally, covered in dirt once in a while.

But as far as looking for dirt between his layers... He's shocked at the notion.

Candidates are entitled to SOME privacy. And looking between a Celery's layers... well... that's just poor manners.

Not that you were implying that anyone should look there, Shazz. But The Celery just wants to make it clear to the press that there are some areas that are off-limits.

Fenchurch for President!!!!

*wriggles in under closet door and looks around with glowing red eyes*

Inna first place, DON Alfredo, I'm the one who shorten lives around here. You might want to go back to your HQ and pick up all those pizza boxes and do the dishes for the first time this week, because I had a great time finding things to eat. I been all over your kitchen and it wasn't a pretty sight.

Bluebottle, I found out why you wanna talk about feet. It's because you don't have no socks! I was goning to investigate closer but your laundry almost stood up and gave me a lecture about privacy.

Why you hook up with a woman who kidnaps little girls at theme parks and writes dirty limericks on bathroom walls? This Fenny lady needs therapy I'm thinking.
