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

*bows reverantly*

there wasn't much of use, but what there was, you have, and if you can get any use out of it, good.

Exactly. I hope I can...

¦M¦

*grin*.. if I ever get around to visiting another h2g2 meet and you're there, I'll be sure to show you the fruits of MY labours. (the laptop..)

*makes note to take a nice large bag... *

¦M¦

*makes note to take his leadlined baseball bat*

*wonders if she'll have a gun at that point*
*thinks it would be rather awkward taking one anyway*
*and also rather stupid*
Ah well.

¦M¦

of course, this is all moot, since I think I can probably trust you enough not to steal my laptop.

and if you want to steal it now, you won't after you've seen me.

I reckon you're right as well. Never have been good at stealing...

No? Why not?

¦M¦

I'm 6'2 tall, I wear steel toe-capped boots, I'm abnormally strong, and I have scarily long hair. .. haven't you seen a picture of me?

Sure I have. And I've hit people taller and stronger than me and scared people taller and stronger than me, and at some point soon I will once again be fit enough to run like hell.

¦M¦

that's good.. once you get to hell, say hi.

OK then.

¦M¦

Yeah, you'll want to run when Ming runs at you, from what I gather. I hope those steel toe-capped boots are comfortable.

They're field boots: german army paratrooper issue.. I can sprint about as fast as anyone in them. .. I've been on exercise in them more times than I can remember, and they haven't let me down yet

Ah good, you should be safe then. Just make sure you also take some sunglasses - as I'm sure you do anyway - as Ming's glare reaches very far and is quite powerful.

actually, no.. without the sun, there isn't really need for sunglasses, and it isn't often that I see the sun. However, I'm part Irish and part Scottish, so I'm quite numbed to any sort of abusive treatment, such as glaring, to which I may become subject.

Hhm. Quite the perfect defense against Ming's powers. We could clone you and make a fortune.

And JC Denton wears sunglasses all the time!

yes, but JC Denton's from a 3dfx-funded game, so we don't like him.

we do, however, like his crossbow.

3dfx-funded? Deus Ex was funded by them? Now that I never knew... And it's my favourite PC game!
Still, surely DX2 isn't going to be funded by them.
