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

Don't you need to actually write something?I mean, apart from 'Hi, I'm going to write a column, but not right now.'


woman, the Post's unofficial commentator

Actually this was just an introduction to the new column. actual writing stuff will appear here in next week's post.

I don't know, you could be onto something here. Spooky, you could write the Post's one and only meta-column - a column actually about writing a column!

You could talk about what made you decide to write a column, how you decided what to write about this week, what font you type in, etc etc...

Better than the bad puns and bias some people round here have been known to indulge in, anyway...

*spook thinks.*

well, i've already written next weeks column, although, i could add something about why i wrote what i wrote and stuff. i'll have to think about it. i may decide to do that, i may not, i may decide to do that at a later date.

i'll see...

spook

ps. i hope u read the next edition of this column as i think it is a gooden, but i want ur criticism of it so i know how to improve it. u know, tell me what u liked, didn't like, what u'd like to see more of etc. thanks!

*hoping the column about a colum was a joke*

If it's about something I'll read it. As long as the something is vaguely interesting. And I have commentatory diarrhoea, I start threads even when I have nothing to say.

Apparently the writers like that.

Any sign that we are read is seized upon like a pepperoni pizza by starving Finns.

And what's wrong with the meta-column idea anyway? (Even though it was meant as a joke.) I'd do it myself if I didn't already take up so much space...

I think that if people feel they can write a real column they should (and leave things like writing about writing about writing to us poor saps who can't really do it)


And you do take up far too much space. You should think seriously about being smaller.

Would you be referring to my love of big long words or my love of late night snacks (resulting in my big huge space-taking-up belly)?

Hmm, will have to rethink my next planned series of articles for the Post if Awix-overload is going to be a problem...

PS Spook X. Is that anything like Liberty X?

I was obviously talking about the s, you should leave them to Greebo.

Spook X like Liberty X? Threatened with a lawsuit because someone else was already called Spook? I don;t think so, somehow.

Oh. Shame. (On both counts.)

It's well known that cats are incapable of being overweight, just as wizards are incapable of being late.

Au contraire, Miss C: I direct your attention ot the phrase in common use, 'fat cat businessmen' - therefore, overweight cats!!

is cos they is not really cats.

Pourquois est tu penitent?

~Greebo flounces in... and plonks her slightly rotund figure down...~

Er... about this overweight business... ~slight grin~

Me has to store up energy for the coming winter months... er... honest...

~Greebo gets up and flounces around for a bit...~

Do you like my new walk... me has learned to flouce... ~proud grin~

~Greebo sits down again.. breathing hard~

Phew... bit tiring this flouncing malarky...

Greebs..xx

new issue of Spook X can be found at A841565. hope u enjoy it.

Plug, plug, .
Bet there's no plug smiley.

Oh Greebo, no-one could say you were overweight. If you were skinny people would complain when you sat on their laps. So eat up , you need the energy, with all the good work you do.

Personally I'd rather have a lightweight sitting in my lap than a bloater... all other things being equal of course...

(Awix ponders 'all other things' concerning larger people sitting in his lap)

Hmmm...

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

Yes indeed....

I was talking about cats, you rude person.

And nice round fluffy cats are better than bony ones.

So s all round. Except for Awix, as he is rude.



*time passes*



Oh, okay, you can have one .

Bang goes the diet (again).

What kind of is this? Custard or toffee, fingers crossed...

And I'll take nice round and fluffy over bony in any situation! (Except maybe when it comes to bones.)

Well I was thinking of a plain ring one, but maybe you can have a toffee one, as long as I can have one too.
