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

That is a good point, but here the point is to get the length right rather than actually make sense, isn't it? Well, that's how I see it anyway. And then we have to fill up long posts!

[128]

This is not word count with questions is it? That(10) one gets kind of hard when the count exceeds about(20) thirty or forty words, don't you find?(27)

Not that this(30) one is shaping up to be a piece of (40) mind, I think I need an or two to(50) lubricate the creative juices... Except why would juices need lubricating? (60)Wouldn't they actually be the lubricant?

Thus is a (70) creative juice? It certainly can be, I have seen some(80) magnificent Pavement Pizzas created by too much , in fact(90) I may have created a few of my own! They(100) were not that dissimilar to some of Jackson Pollocks work(110), in my own humble estimation, they may have smelt a (120)bit worse though! Which brings me to target(128)...

Numbers in Brackets don't count...

[12]

Oh. I was under the impresseion that they did, do smileys count?

[15]

Yup, as one word each, the numbers were just meant to be placeholders...don'ch know!

[17]

I'd forgotten about this thread which is a shame because I'm good at counting and know words!

(3)

Do you now?

[14]

Doesn't everyone know some words<?> Do you think that Paper Baby knows any yet<?>

(10)

WOrds like "heartburn" "insomnia" "hey Mum I'm awake are you?"

17

Aren't they just the words that the baby would know. Will (s)he say mom or dad first<?>

(7)

The first word learned is usually NO!!!

26

Would they be closely followed by the word "Why<?>" I wonder if my mum remembers what mine was. I'll ask her when she returns from holiday!

(22)

I just came across this thing...sounds fun/funny enough... of course, having to write a novel can't be to much fun...

(11)

It would be the shortest novel ever if it was here.

{36}

Thirty Six! You really expect me to come up with Thirty SIX words of Gibberish? Blimey that's only a few words less than the magical Forty Two? I am truly Astonished, NAY GobSmacked at your audacity..
