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

I must say that I have been amazed at the relative inaccuracy of the weather lately. Good Ol' Chaos, eh?

Seeing as it is 10pm I think a drink is called for.

Someone set up 's and anything else you all fancy!

turvy

*picks out a for soon-to-come lunchtime*

*quickly wipes the fine layer of dust off the bartop, removes the odd cobweb *

*gets started*

Do we have any glögg, Santra?

At 9:30...? Sure:

(the nearest smiley for it, anyway... it IS warm!)

*gets himself a - had enough glögg for a couple of days on Sunday...*

Thanks! *sips the hot beverage*

At 9:30? That would be RL time, right? But this is not RL glögg!

To me, in VL this place seems to be stuck somewhere in the afternoon on a winter's day with lots of snow, darkness beginning to fall outside - the perfect place for some after-ski, or after-building- or after-whatever - to warm up and relax...

Sounds just right - I'll go for that, too... it sounds better than our current wet, gray and dreary "winter"!

*hurts his forehead trying to jump into the monitor *

*decides that to survive the rest of the afternoon, alcohol is required - virtual alcohol, at least *

!

Aaahhhh

Any glögg for me?

Always

Thanks, dear.

*sips *

Mmm... Nice and warm.

Isn't virtual glögg nice - by the usual it doesn't get cold in the glass...

(maybe it's just because I don't inhale it quickly enough - but I always end up with a little cold glögg in the glass )

Inhale? No wonder the glögg gets cold while you're trying to breathe in the alcoholic fumes! I prefer to drink it!

See, I actually thought about that when I wrote it - and decided to use that word a) because it is used generally 'round here as a term for drinking fast, b) 'cause I thought "no - she isn't going to, is she.... no!"

Well - maybe it was more a than b...

*sets up for weekend: places a bunch of yellow labelled tonic bottles on the top shelf of the fridge, makes correctly judged slices of lemon, gets a few ice cubes out of the freezer, opens a bottle of Tanqueray and throws away the cap*

So there

*proceeds to make a Friday G&T as per A76213*

Happy weekend!

*follows Santra with her eyes*

*makes a G&T for Hati, seeing her eyes on him*
- here you go

*makes another one for himself*
- here I go

Thank you, dear.

*sips *

Oh, you're welcome

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go upstairs and faint

*converts his to *

'night

*pours himself a lunchtime xmas *
