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

*Rushes in looking harassed and laden with bags of shopping*

No, it's not Christmas pressies! It's just my weekly supply of peanut butter and bananas!

Hello Kes!

Hi Gwennie! A coffee to go with your sandwich material?

"Ask me who got laid last night."

*tiptop pushes the door open, with great effort, and looks around warily*

Hello?

Anybody there?

I'm lost and confused and I feel a bit like Alice must have felt when she fell through the looking glass. I don't know how the world works.

Can someone help me find a coffee? And a comfy seat?

I guess we can squeeze you in between the two of us, tiptop. What say you, sultandude?



PS: Oh, and Sultandude, who got laid last night

"Welcome tiptop, here's a and there's a nice purple sofa over there by the jukebox. Make yourself comfortable and don't be shy, engage in the conversations."

"Simulpost! T'was moi most excellent pirate dude!"

Well, if it was you, my dear Sultandude, then why don't YOU sit in the sofa and let me sit alone here with tiptop?



PS: Er, forgive me for asking, tiptop, but are you male or female?

Ahhh, that's better. Thanks for the drink, and the seat.

Anyone mind if I take these shoes off? They're a bit tight and I've been wandering through this place for a couple of days.

would you be awfully offended if I kept gender out of the equation?

If you think I'm male, the conversation will become very macho
If you think I'm female, you'll chat me up

You know when you visit a chatroom, you get the whole "A/S/L?" thing?

I'm trying to be gender-neutral here in h2g2.

Is that bad?

hello?

hello?

was it something I said?

*tt wanders around the now deserted room, but can't find anyone*

*writes a little note that says "see you later"*
*pins it to the wall, puts shoes back on and returns to the cold cold snow outside*

I know what you mean, tiptop, and having done the same thing somewhere else on the net of course I think it's okay to "keep the gender out of the equation".

I find it both giving and interesting to force other people to disregard gender, age etc. of an opponent and focus completely on his/hers arguments.

It's too late for me to do it here, though. Anybody knows I am a male and have been a since the age of the vikings

mmm. peanut butter and banana sandwiches... or sculptures... mmm...

I´ve lost my parts! I´ve lost my parts. Has anyone seen the flat 4x1 parts without the knobs on top?

*Thinking of leaving the lego and moving over to beer...*

Were those your private parts?

*E drops behind the piano, blushing bright red...*

Lovely word for a mistake like this in german: FETTNÄPFCHEN!

No this was ment to be a joke. So please give me a beer, will you?

...Gives him a beer with the 4x1 setting on top of the mug

"Hey, you pirate & tan Dudes...whata' ya' think your doin' on my couch?!?" *stomps her foot* "Ouch!" *gives her REALLY mean look to Sultandude...sees that Pierce is content to "use" the purple couch* "It's bad enough that you want to place me under the blue goo couch...but really...taking others onto it. Tisk!"
*goes to find a pale & saddle soap to clean the couch* "And I thought ONE man was trouble...sheesh!" *spies E, The Lord & Kes & wonders why she's so stuck on THOSE two!?! * "Just 'something' about that 'Bad-Boy-Toy' that shall forever lead me down the wrong path. Ahh well, at least it's fun MOST of the time!"

*E emerging from behind the piano puts the 4x1 part as finishing bit on the LEGO-BLUEGOO-SOFA next to the Guinness tap.*

Pitty, there aren´t any soft Legobricks...

"MEN!!!!!!" *swishes out the door...SLAM*

*quietly re-enters...her cottage is underwater & Amos is stuck in his shed* "Er, hi fellas! Wahtcha' maken' mari-rae? I'll just be over here at the bar having several pitchers of martinis. No need of olives, got my fill on the ones Kes fed me earlier."
