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

[CATS deals with this by placing a look of confusion on his face.]

[CATS starts singing "Invasion of the Gabber Robots" by "The Laziest Men on Mars."]

[CATS]
Move "Zig,"
Move "Zig,"
Move "Zig,"
Move "Zig,"
You know what you doing,
Take off every "Zig!" [etc]

KL: Hey! That's not how that song starts!

[CATS] I are skipping the intro. We are not have the captain here.

<...it is, of course, a note from Zeb; everyone can discern this fact and read its text, despite the fact that no-one whatsoever posted the action of picking it up, examining, and reading it. The note is able to bypass this small rule of continuity and threadiquette as a result of its trip through the plothole, the nature of which modern physics and creative writing have yet to determine. Boy, those were some long sentences...>



-No, I hadn't already gone through the plothole. All I said at first was that I would do it. I never posted the ACTION of entering it 'till the next message, when I "moseyed on through". Yeah, I'm pretty literal-minded, sometimes. Oh, and you may wonder how I knew about your questions regarding this matter... suffice to say, I don't quite know myself, as I've just journeyed through... a PLOTHOLE-HOLE-Hole-hole-ole-ole... <-(note echo)

[CATS] Booyaka, bebbies.

*munch*

*Notices, but fails to comment on the commotion regarding the plothole. Notices, but fails to comment on the burgeoning figure of Red Dog, stuffed with popcorn. While he waits for his library book to come, picks up a book of his wifes that looked interesting, but which his wife didn't like. It is called "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon and involves time travel, a theme that is currently capturing GL's interest. After a few pages, GL mutters:*

Well, the writing certainly isn't up to Forester's calibre.

*Reads a bit more, then gets out his notebook computer and logs into h2g2. Finds a thread called "What is the best book you have ever read" on the "ask h2g2" page. Reads through the thread and one title sticks out: "Time and Again" by Jack Finney.*

Hey! That's been on my to-read list for ages. I think I'll order that one from the library too.

*Orders the book. A few minutes later a messenger comes in carrying two books. They are: "The Frigates" and "Time and Again". GL gives up on "Outlander" after having read about 100 pages and immediately starts in on "Time and Again".*

Ooooo. This is gooooood!!!

*Drums his fingers, waiting for a message from those sent to re-summon Affy*

[Dylan drops down from nowhere in particular]

[Dylan] I have located Affy! He's in the rec room. [goes to sign up for the next CLI tour]

KL: Well, at least he's not going out of his way to hide....

[Dylan signs up for the next tour of CLI.]

*fiddles with gavel*

*munch* *slurp*

*Finishes "Time and Again"*

Wow! That was excellent - one of the best books I've read. Cool plot and well written.

*Sits back thinking about the book, a smile on his face.*

~is currently reading: American Sea Power Since 1776......damn good book, just doesn't spend enough time on one area. It does reference books on those areas....looks like I have found my reading for the next couple years ~
