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

At the murder mystery?


*GL is now nearing the end of the NEXT book. He looks up.*

Well, Hornblower got caught! He had to surrender after fighting 4 ships with his one. The last book ended with the end of that battle. In this book he has escaped, spent the winter with a sympathetic French family, built a boat, made his way down the river to, um, Nantes, I think, stolen a cutter that the French had previously captured from the British, fought off an attack, then made his way to the fleet. Phew! Great stuff. He is still pretty nervous about the court-martial he will face for surrendering his ship, though. And Lady Barabara's husband was killed! Hoooeeeee!

*Turns back to his book.*

*the alarm set back in December goes off and Red Dog awakes with a start*

Anything happened in the last 200 posts ?

I've read a few books...

And I've set up a few comic-book like quizzes that sardonically poke humour at how long and complex the history of h2g2 is becoming....and I've made Zork references....

zzzzzzzzzzzz.....

one walkes up the other goes out, geeeessss!

*wakes

very droll affy

there is a bbc series of hornblower. or otherwise theres one on another channel. maybe channel 4. dunno.

and HHGTTG was first a radio show, then a book, then a TV

Yeah, but what I meant when I was saying that earlier is that the mini-series version we've got on video tape today was originally on TV. The radio series was done better, in my opinion. Though the books will always feel like the best version, for some reason....

Except for the Infocom version. That one is better because it's Infocom.

[Dylan] So when was the first time I said "Oh okay cool"?

Beats me.

*Closes "Flying Colours" and gets out "Commodore Hornblower"*

Well, Hornblower certainly ended that book with flying colours. He's now rich, with a Lady for a wife and a little boy. Somehow, I don't think he'll stay on land too long, though, even if he DOES own a village now.

*enters threw a shadow and sits down*
This looks like as good a place as any to sit around and do nothing.

Hands Iceraven some .

You're the patient kind then ? maybe the type that is prepared to wait awhile for satisfaction ? or possibly fleeing from justice and need a hideout where nothing ever happens ?

*takes the and shrugs*

Just bored and decided I might as well be bored with company.

This'll be the place then.

...........certainly not moving anywhere...........

*wakes up at mention of HHGTTG*

i've got all three series now. *beams*

i agree, though, the books are best. the radio series are fab, and the TV series is hilarious. but you just can't beat a book.

*off to watch TV series again*

[Dylan] I second that, Sea!

oh, and i absolutely DETEST trillian in the TV series. tisk tisk. she's supposed to be a new yorker?! she's more like a valley girl!!!!!
