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

What ho Wowbagger,

Thought I'd drop over to your place this week; albeit for a shameless plug (yes, I write bad poetry too). But first:

Love the freeform script for this one. I used to draw strips for the student paper at university and it was always a relief to slip out of narrative constraint and into something less inhibiting.

But my attention was caught by the panel of goo which says the opposite, more or less, of what I think about it. Here comes the plug, and this is my first attempt at a URL so if I make a bish of it humour a poor schmo and type the thing in yourself: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A627923

You like A*******r?!

!!!

indeed! LOL
Calm down Ottox - everyone is allowed to their opinion, even if it goes against the grain.

Spimcoot, me ol' mate , an upcoming h2g2life shall be exploring the whole alabaster/goo thing. I look forward to your viewpoint on this matter. (The thing is I've already done it, but am not happy with my writing - shall need think of a new draft before it goes up).

Shall I now wax lyrical about the porcelain pale beauty of alabaster?
No. It's not so much that I *like* alabaster; it's boring as hell, but I prefer my gui not to be gooey because I dislike graphical user in-yer-face which goo seems to be. The blue makes my eyes water and the only relief is that ectoplasmic wallpaper paste - handy if decorating at a spiritulist's but not especially restful.

When I first saw that I had a choice of skins I was hoping for something a little more kinky than either of the given options, but then, does skin colour matter? Do we all follow the style over substance tenet expostulated in the song 'It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it?'. Or do we try for a little of both? I hope I try for the latter.

That's the way that I see it, and I'm just grateful that I *can* still see it. Hope this gives you food for thought for the strip Wowbagger. Meanwhile, I'll fetch me coat...

If you don't mind there is a point of view there that I'll see if I can include into the whole thing .
Thank you for your 'two bobs worth', as some Australians say.

spimcoot, would you like to swop monitors with me?
I'd love to have blue GOO, alas my GOO is black.
Jet black, so black that thisis invisible to me.

Egad! Black goo! That's just the kind of kinkiness I was looking for. Presumably you press a black button and a little black light lights up in black to tell you you've done it. Yes, let's swap monitors immediately. Anyone else want to join the hardware swingers?

Your place or mine?

To swop monitors I mean.

I bet you say that to all the boys .

(Queue music... da da da daa da da da da daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
It was a hot summers night....)

Hey!

I'm big but I'm not THAT big. LOL
(I wish I had his singing voice though.)

He has slimmed down a little recently... and cropped his hair! He appeared on a BBC chat show and looked pretty good to me... and I agree about the voice!

You can't have trim Meatloaf!!! LOL

True... as long as the voice remains I don't really mind about his size!
