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

It's story time!??

Don't know ... but I'll listen if there's a story going... Who's the teller?

BTW, Dragonfly - nice to see you're looking happier!

YES!!! And practicing my oboe so I can do well at my audition on Monday!!!(ooo... maybe I should change my nickname AGAIN to say that... )

* serves himself an , drinks it and then leaves for bed *

Englander is sitting in a chair reading a Patricia Cornwall book, he said.

*A ball of blue yarn drops and goes unraveling across the floor. Plato jumps on it, front paws outspread over the strand of blue. The kitten tenses, twitching the skin of his back. He suddenly explodes into movement and races over the floor, batting the yarn ball, chasing it down, then grabbing it in all four paws while lying on his back and biting it. He attempts to disembowl the yarn. His eyes are dialated. Mari-rae looks to Kes for help.*

::laughs::

Plato's SUCH a wild one!!!

*E sits in his chair and looks up surprised*

Am I to read out loud?

Well, here it is: Bang, Dead, Dr. on scene of crime. Bang. Another dead: Dr. on scene of crime. Other offivers on scene of crime. Dr. finds something. The morgue. Lover comes along. Bang, Dead. Dr. can´t get around to what she would like to do. Scene of crime. at last a clue. Bang. Dead......

Real good book , this is.It´s "something Potter´s field"

erm, sounds like a short story. Interesting plot and atmosphere!

Hello everyone! My I've been asleep a loooooooong time this last nap! It's always surprising to see how GOOD everyone looks when I awaken! Mari-rae...nice knitting, as usual, E...loved the story, perhaps you could read it to me again when I need to sleep. Kes, you look eps. fetching.... (wanna' fool around?!?) Er, St Dragonfly...don't move! *Pan moves closer... still closer...* Ooooo...* Do NOT MOVE! *brings out a tissue... reaches out to St Dragonfly's forehead...with cobra like speed-
squishes the flea!!!!!* Er, have you had the kitties to the Vets? I only have spray for dogs.....best to get this under control quickly!
AAAAAHHHHHH!!!! Don't move! *brings out another tissue but isn't fast enough* You'll probably feel a bit of itching just above your right ear...sorry, I tried...the little bugger was too fast for me!
Wonder if the Vet has a spray or powder for you?!? Reminds me of the time Grebo had a tick on her head...Kasia helped me with her...but I still got scratched to bits! Anyone have any ideas what St Dragonfly can do??? (and no fly swatter jokes please... this could be serious.....we could ALL get fleas....what will the newbies think? Let's put our heads tigether, well not literally, if you don't mind....we must take care of our Dragonfly!!

heh... I'll just take them to the vet...

Fleas?!!

*Begins inspecting her wool.*

If you take them to the Vets...don't use the one here in De La Vavoom...he's never there, you may find him in my hot tub - once Mister Featherly gets the cottage repaired. If you DO take them to the Vets, could you ask if he knows anyone who can 'train' the fleas? By the looks of Mari-rae's wool, we've got enough here for an entire flea circus!! I know how you feel about killing things...does that apply to fleas too? If so, sorry I smashed that one on your forehead. What ever shall we do? If they start jumping, it may discourage some folks from eating...although it MAY increase the business now that I tink about 'SOME' of the customers.
My mom use to get a flea bath ready, put her cat in a pillow case,
hold it shut as to not get scratched - and then wash the kitty right through the bag. What do you think about that idea? If you want me to help, I'll get us some leather gloves...I have a thing about wanting to keep my blood in my body...you?

Sounds fine...

Fleas are evil... even if they are bugs...

...well the idea of the pillow case is to have the kitty's head outside of the bag so they can see & don't become freaked! Then while we're washing the cats...we need to dust the Pub with flea powder. We must also wash all the cats bedding, blankets...any kind of material.....then once the cats are bathed, we vacuum the entire place with a bit of extra flea powder inside the vaccum bag......oh it's gonna' be a looooong day...Well, at leaset if you're in a bad mood you can always say, "Hey man, don't bug me, I've got my own bugs!"
*hand St Dragonfly long leather work gloves & several cans of flea powder & three full bottles of 'berry scented' flea dip...they look at eachother...look at the cats...sigh & start spreading fle powder all over the place* I have a feeling we may want to work FAST & have this done BEFORE Kasia returns!!!

YEs yes yes!!! ::Scurries about, scattering the powder, singing and pretending she is a magic fairy::

*Looks around from his armchair*

Hmmm, what a wonderful place to relax.

Is there anything wrong with the cats? I had such a funny dream about dragons and cats. And there was a docter at the end who had a special machine to cure the poor dragon from the cats, that caused his constipation. Oh, the cats survived all right...

I don't know what to say. The cat's got my tongue. I'd better flea...

HOW can you say anything?

Are those magic fingers, speaking?

...::gets and starts to use the vacuum::

Is it that dirty in here, again, Drag (I may call you drag?)), or are you just trying to show that men do never (well nearly never) think of these practical things?
