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

One Thing, I heard something which went bump, but as it wasn’t night time it couldn’t have been something that goes bump in the night. That very Thing I tried to make an appointment with Mr Adam’s friend Thing but he was out and wasn’t due back until next Thing.

So I decided to do nothing which was a mistake as the next thing I knew I found myself sitting on the wooden floor with a splinter in my thingy. A painful thing having a splinter in your thingy, and things were about to get worse.

Is that an application to join our troupe or an adroite look at the multitude of uses of the word 'thing'?

Both.

ps: Your campaign has persuaded me and I have decided to call Thurday, Thing from now on and wanted to take it on a test run.

My first test run, the sentence "Today is Thing." was to easy so I decided to put in a few hairpin bends in it.

Happy to be so persausive.

'Thing' - its just so natural, isn't it? Its a wonder someone hasn't thought of this before!

Anway all you need to sign up to our merry cabal is a self-appointed title of greatness, any suggestions?

Deity

Already got one, no.22, on the roster.

Thingite 229 is a lesser Deity

and we have three Gods #323, #341, #359.

Another form of etheral being perhaps?

Unless you don't mind job-share?

We even have an angel, aybe a Cherub or Muse or how about this: Thingite Metatron?

Hey Clive oh great wise one - we can always offer cheap bodily modifications in the Lab if it helps

Velkom back Herr Doktor! I trust the impliments haven't grown too rusty in your absence?

I would like to be know as:

Wine-Thinker-Man.

Deeety - Wine-Thinker-Manm hereby proclaim'ed!

*bangs gabble*

Welcome to Clan Thing!

<------yours, guard with honour.

Clive.

Thankyou
What do I do now.

Rusty? Oh no, great honoured sir - they are in use most days and the surgical creations they have .....well.......created......are a marvel of modern science. Only the other day we cut off the Health and Safety Inspecktors arms and legs and put them on backwards!
Ha can no longer kneel down, but boy! He can sure reverse at speed!

Join us over in the "no, no, no" forum. At it's height it can be a massively insane romp at high speed usually it ticks over at a moderate pace and thingites of all creeds come and have a good natter.

"no, no, no" or N3 for short is the longest forum on all of h2g2 - so hold onto your hats while it loads.....

Painful subject.

Sitting on time-travelling cacti.

Time travelling cacti, I am now a little worried about where I sit.

How can they be avoided. I mean how do you know you are sat down in the very spot where they will appear. Are there places where they just cannot materialize or is there a pesticide which can be sprayed onto your favourite sitting spot….

Has anyone seen the Invader Zim episode where he sends the piggys back in time to destroy Dib?
