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

Drinking this will change my character, eh?

*Ladles out a pint.*

Bottoms up!

*Feels all wobbly, then her head stretches out to the ceiling while her body twists itself like a tornado and she goes bouncing all around the pub making 'abada-abada-abada' sounds knocking over furniture, scattering people and drinks. Stretches sideways, turns five colours at once, then implodes back to her seemingly normal self.*



*Waits to see how her character has been altered.*

Hey! Wow! That stuff totally packs a punch! The punch with a total punch! Awesome! We could package that and sell it by the case! What an incredible marketing idea! PTP!! This is so totally fresh! I'm so stoked! O - Mi - Gawd!

mari's turned into a marketing executive! Next she'll be talking about 'team' work

s: I work alone

::has a pint of punch::



i say we label it 'the punch to punch all punches'

Ah! So it's a knockout punch, then ?

*enter bedraggled figure from being kept off-line by damaged cables*
I've been knocked-out for nearly two weeks - what can another pint do?

welcome back from the winter of your disconnect WR

Hmm, 's changed to a publican

Nice to see you WR - have a glass of punch, will give you one

laps a souchant of

but isn't lapsang souchang a of some sorts?

yes I believe it is - you want some tea? let me sit down ... pants ... it's all too much of a shock for me

aside: the word I was looking for was 'soupcon' - couldn't remember how to spell it - teach me to try to be clever

mumbling into ...

'.............made glorious summer by this son of York..'?

Ohhhh! I've just come all over Shakespearian!

Aha! Have you, dsl, perchance, drunk a sample of the punch yet?

waiting to hear back ...

Shirps I'm taking you to have your eyes and ears checked. Derby drank from the pot-o-chance hours ago. ...*whispers...*see the small horns atop his head? What have you done?! ...*looks to see if anyone's
buying her crying...*
I ain't drinking from that thing~!!!
Mari, remember that guy who was bothering me waaaay back during our 1st annual halloween party? I recall he went into the cauldron and vanished~!
do any of you remember that? ...*rubs her arms to get the li'l hairs to lay back down...* That was so scary it even scared me~! What if HIS essance sticks to someone!? liiiiike ... Derby? ~~~~~~~~~~
...*a note flutters to the flor like a feather on a windless day...it reads...*
I SHALL BE IN THE ALLEY GETTING SOME AIR ALONG WITH MY SMOKE
LET ME KNOW WHEN THAT POT-O-CHANCE IS EMPTY ...

Ahhh! The fairest of the fair returns!

*sweeps a low bow in the direction of the incredible beauty, known as Ms Pandora!*

*tries to think of a suitable chat-up line, but reasons that anyone looking as gorgeous as that has heard them ALL by now!*

I could hear what you were just thinking and I've never heard THAT one before.
Anyone know what to do when your E-mail addy repeatedly tells you you are not you???? ...*stomps foot...once again forgetting she's not wearing shoes and picking up a rather large splinter of wormy peg leg wood in the bottom of her foot...shouts: in a very lady like manner...*
As soon as I can walk again I'm strapping you onto my back and we're going to the peg-leg-makers shop Pierce~! THIS time we're gonna' get you a metal leg!
!.) Heavy metal is popular with many music lovers
2.) what you & *I* know you keep IN your leg will stay cool & fresh
3.) I won't get any more flippin' splinters in my foot
4.) we can have a sucken cup placed on the bottom of the leg sos you stop falling over ~ you'll jussss sorta' teeter

Someone needs to tell Shirps those teeth she boiled down belonged to Kasia ... she was going to have them *put back in* ...
....*shuts the door to the alley - again - ...*
I'll just be out standing in my field.

Wooden legs? I PERSONALLY thought that they were REALLLLLLL!

I do so hope that the Computer God smiles on the great Mistress Pan

*rushes in the direction of the field, carrying a large bottle of and a huge bunch of *

...*already seated in a field of flowers Pan never sees Derby until it's too late..*


My but you have big feet....oh...my....

Ohhhhh! You're not going to bring up that old thing about men with big feet, are you? *giggle*

Dear All.......fairest Lady Pandora!

I fear that I must away to my huge pile of bed clothes (it resembles, more and more, a site of hibernation rather than a cold little bed 'neath the window!)

Blessings and peace to all.........

Well, it's the month for all that stuff. :-p

*Hobbles away from the window and sits between WR and Kes.*

So, WR, how many emails were waiting for you after a two week hiatus? Kes, could I have a , please?



*Thinks of something, and swivels around on the barstool to call to Pierce.*

Hey, Pierce, if you get a metal leg you're going to set bells ringing in airports!

no problem, mari-rae. my earring has done that for ages already
