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

Maybe that is why we all came here in the first place... were we searching for something? I can't remember anything constructive atm!

*Joins Wowbagger for a quick caovert about, taking care to avoid Mari-rae's oversized hairy feet*

shazz

I don't really want to do a Tom Bombadil impression, but if i must...

Tree, release these people immediately !!!

Oh, and point your branches in the direction of the distillery while you are at it...

*The tree trunk spits out its occupants to the grass outside and they roll downhill, crashing into the APC*

Ouch! Thanks Linus (I think)!

*Extracts one of Mari's hair feet from one ear and disentangles herself from Shazz and Wowbagger's legs*

The tree obviously thought that our APC was a distillery. That must be the pong coming from the bar fridge (or Kuma!).

*Finds herself lying all tangled with Kes. She looks into his eyes...*

Eeeek!

*She jumps up and falls on her feet, tries it again, falls...lies there looking up.*

Any potion left?

It was meant to look like this...

Plenty of potion left ... about half a bucketful, I think. Just don't spill any on your nail varnish!

*Surveys the scene and is thankful that there don't appear to be any Demosians about*

Escape from the tree calls for drinks all round I think




shazz

Great idea! Thanks ... I'll have a couple of those

Hmmm, the potion seems to work...

...I still have a craving for at least three more hobbit-meals, though

Not if I'm cooking them you won't!

Looks down at his now no-longer-hobbit-like form.
Hang on, I was already short and hairy... I-I never changed into a hobbit at all!

*Rubs scalp*
Oh dear! I think I must have spilt some on my head!

Oh no!!!

Never mind... you know what they say about bald men!

shazz

*Grabs a couple *

~whispers to Shazz~ What do they say about bald men?

Yes ... "Bald men should always wear hats"

*Turns a deep pink color, realizing that she had been overheard. *

Nevermind.

thanks for the beer Shazz, but what on earth would any of us want an oj for ???

Pierce, you aren't thinking mushrooms are you?

That potion seems to have turned you a strange colour Mari-rae

*Looking glumly at reflection*
Maybe it'll grow back under stress ......

I thought that it was the wearing of hats that induced baldness!

Rumour has it that here in the UK, we have special bed headboards that don't make chaps bald.

Would you like to be stressed out then Kes?

*Points to the distant horizon*

Is that a dust storm or a host of Demosians approaching rather rapidly?

*Starts to feel stressed out*

Don't lose your hair, Gwennie, I'll take a look.
*Peers through pair of binoculars*
Good Grief! It's an army of bald bed-head salesmen!
*Cleans lenses of binoculars, and refocusses them*
No - sorry - it's a large squad of heavily-armed Deimosians with tin helmets and riot shields. Phew! I was worried for a minute there!
