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

Look, I have travelled far, and in the time of our Lawksohlordy 2001 when I did leave this mudhutted community, I did leave with the very birth of the shrieking babe that has come to be known as the Campaign (etc etc) etched upon my departing mind.

But the dark side of modern technology did lock me out, and I did undergo a transformation, and lo I did return.

And I get back here after how long - more than TWO years? - just to find exactly the same conversation sitting on the Front Page?

I've seen the whole of the moon, guys, while you've just stayed in your rooms!
and! I have news from distant shores.

Thursday is still not called Thing.

So look guys, I've been thinking, maybe the whole package needs remarketing slightly, I mean, actually, maybe 'Thing' isn't quite right. If it was, I'm pretty certain it would have worked by now.

The Black Hermit

you dare go against the might that is Thing!!

*measures his cranium, then the gap between his eye, then the legnth of his nose, then the circumfrence of his neck*

OK OK
BE different. But surely you can keep your heretic sacriligious views to yourself, leave us in our little dreamworld? We're happy. Why disillusion us?
I'm almost tempted to yikes this so that it doesn't reach Clive's tender ears.
*exit muttering*

Chill, it was just a thought ok, you know, like you get when you sit in a bath millions of lightyears from home and wonder where the other two ships are that are meant to be following on behind...

*stares into middle distance and scratches left buttock*

Witch.

So we live in a world of our own. But that fine, we know each other here.



Thus spake the loco-Warlord.

loco-warlord?

Temporary replacement Warlord? Deputy Warlord? Whatever. I have spaked.

Definitely loco. Not sure about the warlord.
I think you meant locum, Ralph?
And, Blackhermit, don't imagine that the Waterboys quote went unnoticed!

Look at that loco gringo llama. He's silly.


Locum it is. In Dutch, however, it is defiantely loco.

Ralph the Wonder Llama - Defiantly Loco!

Cuidado!

That's something to do with a city, isn't it?

No, it means look out.

That's Stephanie, then, up in her Crows Nest.

*apologies for thread jumping*

Cuidado, llamas! Means: look out, there are llamas!

Ah, the flying ones. I'll get me umbrella.

My sister was once bitten by a Moose.

Was she bitten on a Thursday?

For if so, to be bitten on a Thing is an evil portent, lo, better then that she was bitten on a Y'Know.

So if it's all the same and all that, I'll just stick to calling Thursdays Y'Know.
