Did you bring any homebrew with you so I can stock it in the store? I'd love to taste it.

Hello, WM! I've got that Null Entropy Field that you requested. Now, where's that meal you promised me?

Here, Witty, have a try.
Hallo Affy! I m Engl nder (With an Umlaut, where the letter is missing) Witty said we might get a bit more LEGO at your shop? Couldn t you bring some round here. I don t think Witty s suplies are enough for these buckets...

Is it alright if I just call you Englander? I don't think I could bare hitting the space bar all of those times...either way, very glad to meet you.
As for Legos, I do think that I have a few of those in the back room of Crater Toys (a subsidiary of Crater Labs, Inc.). While I can provide the toys you wish, I urge you to head over for our after Christmas sale (going strong since December!), where we've got 4 Dimensional Puzzles, Calcu-Gators, the list goes on.

Englander is O.K. Perhaps I should go in for "Englaender" Or you can call me E s alter ego. That s another form of my entity.
I think I will have a look for those puzzles. I actually prefere a little more "Barock" style (you know, Deepe Purple or Living colours. But I guess I ll see it later, the aligator)...

CALCU-GATOR!??
....is that something I can take to my math class with me!?? Will it malfunction and attack my teacher, so that we can all pass and never sit in that room again!??

The Calcu-Gator: he does your homework for you. Then he eats it.
He's my own design. I invented him during a math class IRL, when I noticed that my calculator had a hinge on it that was not unlike an animal's jaw. I have an affinity towards crocodillians, I guess, so I just instantly saw it as an alligator. I'm going to be adding eyes to it any day now.
But the calcu-gator in h2g2 actually resembles an alligator. HAng on, lemme see if I can find the forum for the sale...

*Tastes Englander's beer whilst preparing a sub sandwich for Affy. On to a foot long loaf of Italian bread, WM applies all types of luncheon meats, cheeses, sliced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, organo, oil and vinegar.*
This is quite a tasty beverage. It'd be my pleasure to sell it here for you, Englander.
Here, Affy. It's called a Belly Buster. It's basically got a slice of everything on it. What what you like to help wash that down?

::sings the Wundaba(umlats)r song::
Post Diaspora Spring Cleaning
Researcher 168814 Posted Mar 19, 2001
Wunderbar, WUNDERBAR,
There is a german song that is called "wunderbar" It´s some kind of waltz. And in Berlin there is a place for song AND dance and cabbaret and commedy and political stuff called the Wunder-Bar (Wunder meaning: miricle) whilest wunderbar just means "splendid"
Now this shouldn´t get moderated, ???

Thanks, Witty! Don't think I'll be able to finish this off in one sitting, but I'll manage to eat it eventually. As for a drink, just toss over a carbonated soda of some sort. Just make sure it isn't a Cola. I can't drink Coke, Pepsi, Royal Crown, or any other kind of Cola that I've ever tried if something else is available.

....So you like Mountain Dew!?? YAY!!!

Witty Moniker Posted Mar 20, 2001
Affy, in case the brand name beverage mentioned in the previous post gets [removed], here's a nice, generic ginger ale.
Post Diaspora Spring Cleaning
Afgncaap5 Posted Mar 21, 2001
Thanks, Witty. I've always liked Ginger Ale. Of course, my absolute favorite drink in the world is a specific brand of Root Beer that can only be purchased in a little diner somewhere in Indiana.

Yeah, I know. This place I was talking about actually served ice cream floats. You couldn't taste the root beer as well, but the vanilla ice cream more than made up for it.
