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

Perfect, MG...it's getting a bit crowded in here with the boy's choir and those pipers. I guess we should feed them before we send them packing. *ox rumages around the grill area for snacks*

Maybe I'd better send out for pizza...

Mmmmmmm, pizza . Onion, black olives, extra tomato, and mushrooms on mine please

Sounds good! Extra cheese and several side salads, too. Yum. Hot crusty loaves of bread with a nice dipping sauce would be great.

Er, did the mad forum artist ever come with a phone, so that we can send out?

aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! what happened to my spacing?!?!?!!?!?!?!?! it's all WRONG! unless the forum is just misrepresenting it...*prays that that is the case*

yes, that looks better.

Can we phone out now? Four seasons or anything with artichokes please.

*ox grabs the phone and orders several different kinds of pizza, salads, hot bread, dipping sauce, vegetarian lasagne and ravioli*

I'm going to make some homemade sorbet while we wait.

Sorbet must be something that won't flare up your allergies ox

Hello!

I've brought a chair. and the viola.

Well, we're all just waiting on ox's sorbet now........

Oh, and the pizza. Aren't they supposed to let us have it for free if it's not delivered within 30 minutes? It must be 20 hours since you phoned in that order ox.

mmmmmmm sorbet. I lived on it for a week once.

And if it's really well made, you can hardly tell that it's not ice cream . Was that when you were a struggling music student?

:drags in old recliner laden with about six grocery bags full of PISTACHIOS! Passes four of the bags around and curls up in chair with the other two.:

'lo everyone! How nice to find you all here. Hmmm, don't mind if I have a while waiting for that pizza. Anyway, I brought a little something to tide us over. Y'know, I was going to write an entry on eggnog last night (shamefully, there isn't one yet), but somehow it got away from me. I'll write it... momentarily... for now I'll just have a couple and call it "research." . . . mmmm . . . . . my this chair is . . . . . comfortable! Wake me if it seems important...
...

Has the pizza *still* not arrived yet?

No, I lived on sorbet when I was on holiday in the Isles of Scilly this summer. It was great! I thought the whole point of sorbet was that it wasn't like ice cream anyway?????

Oh well. May as well eat some pistachios while I'm here. Pass us over some will you?

*munches some pistachios and starts singing out of tune, wich is ok since no one can hear anyway since this is typed* free-ee-ee-ee piz-ZA! free-ee-ee-ee piz-ZA! *starts congo line or whatever those things are called*

Ooh, a conga line Reminds me of a Duckman episode *joins in the line singing* Duckman's going to pri-SON, men are going to rape HIM

:wakes up:

That's funny!

Hey, if you guys are interested, there's an entry on pistachios, what I wrote when I should have been doing something else. It's at: http://www/h2g2.com/A508772 Mmmmmm... pistachios

Meanwhile, :joins conga line: "Duckman's going to pri-SON!..."

Yum! Pistachios! And the pizza feast is here! *ox cleans the clutter from a long table and opens up all the boxes of food* Salad, anyone? Black cherry sorbet for dessert. Mango and pineapple, too.
Eating here is so much fun, Gosho because I AM so allergic in RL! But not to sorbet...
