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

1. Top want - a bowler hat smiley: you can use it to greet people (useful for ACEs), to thank people (useful for when a GURU's helped you out) or just prop it next to your (useful for Primord and any other Avenger fans round here).


2. Moon smiley. No, NOT a lunar one, but 'pulling a moonie' for anyone who's cheeky (ooh, saucy!).


3. Propeller-head smiley, for anyone like me who's a bit of an anorak (I like propeller beanies more than anoraks).


4. Kakapo smiley - in honour of our founder, who did so much to draw attention to this most *stupid* of endangered species, the kakapo smiley would be a parrot-shaped hole in the floor with feathers in the process of floating gently down. This could be used to represent those moments when all your ambitions collapse in on themselves (like when the flightless kakapo forgets it's flightles!), or for moments where you do something monumentally daft to the point where you risk endangering yourself. This might work well as a smiley?

5. A hamster - we;; we already have lab mice, so why not a hamster for all those vivisecti- ONLY JOKING! Hamsters are big, furry-faced blobs of luv.



6. - also known as an smiley - it's a smiley in negative with a flash of blue radiation around it.

7. A varmit smiley. As in 'You pesky varmit'. Not for any other reason that I want to know what a varmit looks like


... and that'll do for now, I expect.

Jims

I thought they were varmints.

They're probably a bit like tictacs .

Are you suggesting I should be more tictactical, Amy?

We'll know how tictactical you've been if any of these make it onto the next list . And we know you're not using used fivers because that's been tried. So what are you using, eh?

It strikes me that the word varmint bears a striking resemblance to 'vermin'.

Amy

It also bears a strange similarity to 'spearmint'.

We should be told the truth!

Ooh! !!

So I can point out when Ashley's being all y and sarcastic.

They're on the list.

Mina

Oops - I was *so* joking about /


But glad to see the others on here
