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

Fleas eh? Alcohol eh? That explains a lot! *scratch, scratch.*

Conversation? Fair enough!

Why do you think that Mark Moxon needs his beard when he goes to Africa - won't his chin get all sweaty?

shazz

Hey why have you got rid of my chair spim, I left it here so I could make a return at some point

-- DoctorMO --

*Brushes off the spiders, places on the gramaphone a scratchy version of 'Brazil', cranks up the ancient entertainment system and sets the volume at 'annoyingly backgroundish'. Pours himself a Single Malt while spimcoot and the others aren't looking. Kicks back into his moulded easy chair (with four vibration settings) and sucks on a cigar that hasn't been lit since 1975.*

...Does my bum look big in this?

~Greebo jumps on Mister Baggers knee~... Four vibration settings you say... how extremily interesting... ~grin~

*Shuffles in, bats down a particularly large flea with his hat, draws up a three legged stool (or is that the job of the cartoonists), sits upon it in the well known milk maids posture and contemplates starting up some small talk as a roundabout way of getting his hands on an empty.*

I'm sure your chair is around somewhere MO

Looks like you've been Greeboed Wowbagger

shazz

Are, OK...

*goes to look for chair*

There it is, I must have folded it into reality, *Draws Chair back into rightful place.*

*Sits down and gets an empty from Spim*

I hope these are no-Alcho.

*Worried that the conversations might end before they've begun, shazz disappears for a little while and comes back carrying a few more crates of empties - including non-alcoholic ones for MO*

Now then - we were discussing the possible effects of heat and humidity on Mark M's beard I think... so any ideas people?

shazz

<'hic, the reshycling people won't know whash hit 'em' spimcoot avers from his corner. He is strangely interested in shazz's knickers which have eclipsed all thought of beards>

Oops! I'm supposed to have taken them off for washing and packing away now Wimbledon has finished!!

shazz

~Greebo moves uncomfortably on a strangely quiet Wowbagger... and moves up to settle more comfortably on his lap...~

Me shall say nothing about Shazz's knickers... only to hint that she has worn them constantly during and since Wimbledon... ~grinny grin~

Nothing wrong with that; I've been wearing the same trousers for the last five years. That way I always know where I can find things... my legs, for instance.

~Grinny grin~... but me is sure you took them off to wash them occasionally...

~Greebo's mind begins to churn at the thought of next weeks Paper Cuts being taken of by Shazz's underwear!!!!~

*Walks in, realizes she hasn't anything helpful to contribute to the discussion and leans coquettishly against a wall*

Knickers now removed and safely installed in the washing machine - they have just about reached the 2nd rinse stage now

shazz

*comes in and follows Tilly's lead after getting and empty*

Dear God, a shazz with no knickers, unknown types leaning coquettishly against the walls... the Lounge has never known such clover. At least people leaning against the walls keep them up better than the posters of Robert Donat and William Powell seem to.

*wakes up*
Oh er.... Greebo... lovely to... erm... see you. If you're staying, do you mind settling onto my lap a bit more so that I can see everyone else as well?

I'm sure Errol would have had a thing or two to say about the now knickerless shazz.
"In like Flynn", as the saying goes.
