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

This is where Official Presidential Proclamations will be announced. These are not to be confused with Official Presidential announcements, which might pop up about anywhere.

So dfar the only Official Presidential Proclamations involved the repeal of the cake tax and designating the Vice President a telephone receiver for purposes of sanitizing .

Stay tuned.

Your President

Can we make requests for Presidential Proclamations?

Certainly. Your requests will probably be ignored, but go ahead. Knock yourself out.

*thinks she will need a secretary for proclamation request denials*

I would request a Presidential proclamation that all italics be forced to wear powdered wigs. And the whiney ones have to stack wigs on top of each other.

By the way, which jobs do you reckon needed filled? I could make a list.

Well, yes, naturally that kind of proclamation request will be treated very seriously.

Unfilled jobs list coming up. I'll work on one this very evening.

I would further request that the President proclaim what everybody already knows - that all the power really rests with the Vice President

Request Ignored.

I appeal the ignorance of the proclaimer.

Madame President, I would like to most respectfully request, in the interests of peace, a Presidential Proclamation to adopt the policy of 'Drop Sheep, not Bombs'.

I have seven, very keen lammergeiers ready to form a squadron... you only have to say the word.

I would like to make a request, in the interests of the all-powerful sheep lobby (it got Madame President elected, you know). I request a proclamation of dropping lammergeiers... into the ocean. It would be detrimental to your reelection prospects to proclaim something like that.

That will upset the ducks.

Lammergeiers and ducks are like this *locks fingers*.

And it would break dozens of EEC Directives. Not to mention UN ones. (I'll look them all up tomorrow.) Lammergeiers, unlike sheep, are a valued and protected species.

I hereby issue a Vice Presidential Proclamation condemning the Minister for Feathered Affairs' policy and shouting at her.

I also hereby bar the Minister for Feathered Affairs from entered the Vice Presidential Wing (heh) of Alabaster House. Which is too bad because your office is only accessible by going through my Wing.

I have my own wings, ta very much. Two. That's one more than you got.

UnSealed proclamations don't count anyway, so back!

My proclamations were besheeped

My wings are parts of a building.

B sheep? You might at least have got A list sheep.

Can't fly with brick wings. I am going to borrow a couple of the Minister of Cushions' cushions, and sleep on them awaiting Her Presidentness' decision on the matter.

Waz (besleepen)

I would like to remind Madame President that I got her elected and sheep are cuddlier than birds

*wakes, looks round blearily, notes there's no sign of any imminent Proclamations, and morphs into lammergeier mode to go for a wing-stretch*

geiersTHIS IS AN OFFICIAL PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION

Wednesday, October 26, 2006

I Hypatia, President of h2g2, do hereby proclaim that November 21st of each year shall be declared Official Lammergeiers Appreciation Day, and that on this day all ruminants shall be required to wear pins in the likness of lammergeiers and powdered wigs.

So let it be written. So let it be done.

I think my computer is haunted. I really do. I have no idea how that heading wound up that way. I think it is a ruminant conspiracy.

*RUBS HANDS TOGETHER WITH GLEE*

Oh! Nobody here but us ducks...
