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

Not embarrassing, because I meant to do it.
Last day of proper school before exams- everyone, that is EVERYone, went down the pool to drink. Fools! this did not appeal to me and a couple of likeminded friends, so we went to town in fancy dress. We had redesigned the Horsemen of the Apocalypse as babies (on Tricycles of Doom, no less) and added 3 more: Needless Sarcasm, Irrational Anxiety and Chaos, who was orange. (This was 1998, long before Terry Pratchett came up with that one! just so's you know.) I couldn't find any male willing to wear a nappy or romper suit, so we had to do without Pestilence and Famine; only War, Chaos and Death went a-shopping. Superb! I even had a scythe, cardboard and curtain pole, which we named Yorrick. However, Baby War- being a complete moon- refused to wear the army hat or carry the wooden sword, so she was something of a no-show. We got a total of 4 remarks: 'Nice scythe', 'Go away, I'm not ready for you', 'Do you want a hit list?' and 'What are you, a publicity stunt?' (from sweet old woman who I was somewhat un-eager to answer 'No, I am the symbolic representation of Death in baby form.')

We lost the pictures tho.

I could always recreate the phenomenon, tho. (Minus moony War, and with additional new faces.) Or post the original BoA concept sketches somewhere they could be admired by all.

I would love to see the concept sketch of the baby of needles sarcasm

There will be lots of pictures by me, including all the Babies, on my soon-to-be-website. Promise.
