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

Having crossed the Atlantic Ocean, mostly beneath the waves,
the pirates are ready for some shore leave...
lets :
catch some rays

snatch some ZZZZZZeeees

and drink some of theeeeese

*holding bucket and spade*

i'm going to build a big sandcastle

alec.

shagbark appears. His shirt is one of Palm trees wearing shades.
wait for me

I really need shore leave. Anyone keen to play golf with me??

*produces pack of playing cards*

er...how d'you play it loosehead??

Golf, hmmmm......is that where you hit the ball with an upended walking stick and shout 2 and a half?

*spreads beach mat out and settles down for a nap*

*waves bucket and spade*

we could BUILD a golf-course...

course...we'd need some grass...

I find it good exercise after so long at sea.

ok...i think it's time to set up a beachhead...

*pressing the appropriate switches on the remote control flinker thingy, the bright orange landing craft slides gracefully down the launching ramp and into the turquoise waters off margaritaville.*

*alec primes the propulsion systems, and the powerful engines propel the pirates toward the playa.*

*running in at right-angles to the resort, surfing down the faces of the incoming waves, alec sights a certain stretch of the strand,
and beaches the bow of the boat.*

*The landing ramp thingy opens automatically, permitting the pirates to pass onto the playa.*

*alec starts to unload the scaffolding poles to build the party tent.*

wow, nice place...

*gets out his skimboard and proceeds to seriously bruise himself*

*gets out shades *

*sets up his beachchair and pours an , treating his wounds with the sun's rays*

Hey Lizzy!

*drives the HumVee off the landing craft and goes for a spin up and down the beach, scattering the tourists.*

shagbark walks over to the local outdoor restaurant sits at one of there umbrella shaded tables and orders a Key Lime Pie.(Not a slice of Pie , a whole key lime pie )

*driving up Duval Street in the Hummer,
alec sees shagbark sitting in the shade and waves*

*Liberally smears herself with sunblock. Wanders down the beachfront shops in search of tequila flavored ice cream cones.*

*relaxes*
===*~~~

*reapplies more sunscreen and picks up her book*

This is the life!

*sighs, admires the blue sea, blue skies, gently waving palm trees and starts to read*
