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

http://www.h2g2.com/A506431

Christmas is past, but it's still possible that there are boxes unopened. These are the novelty pieces that people buy at the last moment under the assumption that they're something that will appeal to your keen sense of fun and interest in a particular sport. Many will be taken to work and thoroughly trashed within the first week. For further information, read on.

Once AGAIN, Apprentice, great stuff - funny because it's true. I love the Fuusball explanation.

But surely you must get tired. There won't be enough subjects left in the world for the rest of us to write about!

Thanks for the compliments re. the article. I'm happy to say that I'll be leaving everyone else all of the REALLY good articles - like "How to cook the best Brussel Sprouts" and "Hiking through the Sewer network of Paris". I will continue to produce articles until:

(a) the slightly silly subjects run out; or
(b) the people at work realise what I'm doing; or
(c) H2G2 are perceptive enough to offer me a job.

Added Basketball and Table Tennis. Changed the name to "Novelty Sports Mini-Games", though did consider "Sports & Leisure".

Con-grat-ulations, this article has been reccommended. Yes - it's true: please be patient while it scoots its way though the editing process. You'll get a mail to tell you when it's been added to The Guide, but you knew that already.

Editorial Note: This thread has been moved out of the Peer Review forum because this entry has now been recommended for the Edited Guide.
