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

Dexter is a Cartoon Network character. He's a young kid who has created an amazingly huge laboratory that somehow breaks many known laws of physical space by occupying more area than exists within the house that it's hidden in. His sister, Dee Dee, frequently breaks into the lab and enjoys playing with the overly fragile experiments in the lab, while Dexter's parents remain clueless. For some reason, he speaks with what's supposed to sound like a European accent, despite the fact that he has no relatives from that part of the world, he's never been there, and no one in his family speaks with that accent.

All in all, he's quite an intertaining character. I watch the show almost every day, if it isn't a re-run. Although shows that I haven't seen are getting few and far between....

Oh, and if there are any available videos, they'd probably be at Cartoon Network's website. Sorry, I don't know the URL, and even if I did,....

*Motions towards Big Brother*

Ah, Dexter's Laboratory is quality viewing. It started out as one of Cartoon Network's series of new cartoons - oh, what were they called? - including such things as Johnny Bravo and others. It then went into several full-blown series, and made for even more laughs.

Shame I don't have CN anymore (had it in Switzerland, but ditched satellite when we got here).

You're not missing much if you were an avid watcher. There haven't been any new episodes in over a year now, unless you count a movie starring Dexter called Egotrip. Dexter went to the future, and discovered that Mandark had taken over. Pretty neat, when you sit down and watch it.

Ah, Mandark, his evil counterpart. Can't forget him and his frankly worrying obsession for Dee Dee...

Hee hee hee.... I like Dee Dee... she reminds me of me.... dancing all over the place!!!!

And I think the show that Dexter started out of is called (The) What a Cartoon! Show!!!

Ah! I've got it now: World Premier Toons! Yes, I think that was it.

D, do you wear a pink dress like hers? And I'm afraid I couldn't let you dance around /my/ Primary Laboratories.

Tonks, what's wrong with that kind of damage being done to a lab? Sure I wouldn't want some of the dangerous experiments getting loose or anything, but it builds character to have whatever it is that you've painfully worked on for the past several weeks damaged beyond repair by an overly cheerful ballarina.

Well, I didn't have any overenthusiastic pink-clad girls in my Tertiary Labs, but the disaster there ruined the place! It's still out of bounds!
But you have to admit that the stuff we work on is a bit more advanced than his. I mean, Dimensional biPassing...

Is that legal on the streets of America!?? Are you allowed to perform such vehicular maneuvers!??

And no, I don't wear a pink dress. I really don't LIKE pink. But many a now and again, I am an overly enthusiastically wildly cheerful and ADORABLE ballerina!!!

And from what I gather in the other thread where we both are, rightly so.

Dimensional biPassing is the movement of matter and energy from one Dimension (reality/Universe) to another, through a Dimensional Breach. Too complicated to go into now, but it involves Infinity quite heavily...

It doesn't have to, you know. Dimensional warping, transportation between Universes, and the like, are all things that are fairly easily attainable through means no where near some of the excessive usages of some other methods. For instance, one Tourist Attraction at CLI is our Pan-Dimensional Safari. We just flip a switch, turn on the rift generator, and take a trip of adventure and scientific exploraiton to whatever freakish plane of existence we find ourselves on. Most recently, we went to an alternate future where Minos Krylma was still acting as my symbiote, GL was still schizophrenic, STUMPED had conquered all of h2g2, and (possibly the most terrifying of events), the entire land was at the mercy of The Orchid Skin....I'm gonna have to start another one of those soon.

Getting sick and tired of all of those other sodas, pops, soft drinks, carbonated beverages, and other various leisure drinks?

Coke can't cut it?

Sprite stinks?

Pepsi perpetually pulling you down?

Water waning?

Milk might be more mediocre than most medical men might mean?

If you answered yes to any of the above, try the original flavor of Crater Fizz Drinks, with our premier flavor Goo Classic!

Just because other drinks are more healthy doesn't mean that you should drink them.

*WM balances a can of Crater Fizz on the palm of her left hand while gesturing with her right hand in a manner to draw your attention to the can.*

Look, just like Vanna!

*The Professor looks round at this impromptu advertising campaign, and frowns.*
*He shrugs, and continues drinking his Slerpee...*

::happy that the commercial did not say anything bad about CHOCOLATE milk::

How's that slerpee, prof!??

Mmm...top stuff, this.

Hmm, yes, let's see... Allow me to make a proposition to you. As h2g2 Ambassador to San Beta, I'm willing to set up trade agreements. I've already got the h2g2 Sweet Shop selling Osian Sub-Ice Cream, but if you were to stock Canfrieda Wine or San Betian Seawater, well, I could send some Slerpeez over to San Beta!
There'll be a few contracts to sign and a couple of negotiations, but nothing too difficult.

Hey... the Musehome is interested in trade agreements...

Indeed? Well then, maybe you should visit me at the Embassy (A453881), where we can discuss trading agreements for all places you work at.

This is the appropriate thread within the Ministry/Embassy: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F55896?thread=98934
