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

I forgot to say, good entry. I hope some of the above is useful.

You have just seen the bottom, and I do include 'cock-up'....

Thanks for the origins of those words - particularly the reason why Browning thought that T**t meant Wimple. There is a lesson in not judging a word by its context, if ever there was one.

I'll add them in, but probably not till next weekend. Lives to live, and all that stuff.

Incidentally, does it help any if I categorically deny being Fenceblossomboy?

Just a little, maybe?

I could scream and scream until I'm sick, if you like....

Ben

I can't see the entry right now - it's temp. hidden.

Cock up, according to what I have read, comes from beer or wine making. If the batch went bad, they turned the cock (tap/fawcett) up to drain the barrel.

Awu.

I dunno Ben, I think you might have to scream more loudly than that to distract us from that little slip up

Words such as door, horse, bolted, stable and shutting come to mind agcB

shazz

Well, at least I get the credit for being the pretty one...

There is a link slap bang in the middle of the first paragraph of my user space (agcB's that is ) which goes to the Short Guide at Geocities.

Why does no-body here take me seriously?
*stamps foot petulantly*

agcB

Now I'm really confuzzled...

Who is fenceblossomboy, is s/he agcB, and, if not, why is s/he posting apparently on behalf of agcB?

Spike,
It is a hard thing to maintain more than one identity unless you truly are mad.
Researchers are currently trying to guess who Violent Duplicity really is for example.
Everytime someone (to use a phrase from the thread topic at hand) cocks up and uses their wrong ID, the Sherlocks post links to the thread with the error, as proof that so and so does have more than one ID.
Then a sorry lot of misguided folks follow these links and see for themselves the relatively Harmless Duplicity of a fenceblossomboy.
I would never do such a thing (as) myself for that would admit to a possibly unhealthy curiousity about such things.

I categorically deny that I am now or ever have been a researcher called Fenceblossomboy.

Besides such a cute ickle boy would't know so many f*****g nasty words, now, would he?

Ben

Of course you would never engage in Harmless Duplicity. Now would Lucinda, Shazz or Mina ever think of such a thing. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/F41915?thread=164646&latest=1

Sorry about this OT drift Ben.
Gravity Welles, I am not posting as VD. Or any of the other accounts. That thread you mention was the first idea I had that all the accounts were not being run by one person, and one person only. Which is why I did the smiley.

... and why I did the smiley.

shazz

Wait, wait...no, still confuzzled...

I still don't get why fenceblossomboy signed as Ben. Or are you...is he...

-Spike A.

Well Miss Gravity Welles. You do seem to be an extremely opinionated young lady.
Are you yourself truly mad?

I wonder, can someone help a poor innocent triple-breasted whore? I seem unable to obtain access to the entry herein discussed. Am I perhaps doing something wrong?

Have you tried clicking the link on the first post of this thread? That should work...

-Spike A.

No. Doesn't help.

Ben,
*I* take you seriously. Having met you IRL, how could I do otherwise.

Hi Eccsy. One word: moderated! The text of the site you can't read is linked to from Ben's site, so go there and click away!

Hopefully, the Entry you can't reach at the moment will be back soon (we all hope that!)

agcBen,
I would like to include this in my English Language university project. I have plans for an entry called "Selected Foul Language". Perhaps we'll have more luck getting special permission under the guise of an "important" university project.
