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

i know the feeling.

It's a good thing I didn't name our newbie John or Jane Doe, you may have thought I was writing a biography without your consent .

this is something good. i have read the previous cartoons and can say that they are true to form
jd

Well... not much has happened yet .

i rest my case
jd

Perhaps I SHOULD follow you then LOL

[note to self: 'Stalking on h2g2? How awful!']

i was a little confused yesterday. my first stop was to a forum about insults. everyone in there was insulting everyone else just for fun. i commented a little bit but don't seem very comfortable with insulting complete strangers. i found a few other forums, one about words that sound bad but aren't. that didn't go to well either. the word i gave them was a german word and they told me that only english was allowed. i will try again tomorrow and maybe then i will find somewhere that i fit in .
jd

you should be fine.

We're really a nice bunch around here. REALLY. This is the only site I go to regularly (or at all to be honest), because this has the largest spread of nice people I've found discussing things on the Internet.

... where was this insult column? Apart from the cartoons, the only article I've written was about insults (it was a very silly article). Could you show me the URL?

*waves at JD*

wowbagger, i will have toread your article. can you tell me where it is? the one on insults i was talking about is here http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/F19585?thread=197502 swiv, hello to you to :-) jd

Hi from me too jd

It always a pleasure to welcome a new reader to <./>ThePost</.>

I think that you handled yourself very well dropping into the middle of such a bizarre thread as the aforementioned.

If you have an afternoon to spare, why not check out all the Wowbagger cartoons - plus all the others stowed away in our archives? They are only a click away if you follow the archive links.

Swi and WB - shouldn't we be starting decorating the PO soon?

i have been looking at the post, at least the one that is up now and i did go back to read the previous newbie cartoons. i will see what else you have in the archives that is interesting.
jd

you want me to decorate every Post thread I'm in?

try and think of a Christmas themed DVD for me to review for next week then please!

i know i am new but how about 'grandma got run over by a reindeer' or one of the muppet christmas movies?
jd

oooh, is muppet christmas carol on DVD?

I might go have a look tomorrow then!

unless i am all wrong (which wouldn't be the first time) i think it is. they also have a new muppet christmas show that aired this year not long ago.
jd

Is 'The Snowman' out on dvd yet? I just love that - soppy thing that I am! LOL

Or - how about that one with Dudley Moore as an inept elf?

shazz

snowman one? which one is that? i know about the snowman one where the dad dies and becomes a snowman is that it?
jd

No - the short cartoon with music ('Walking in the Air' sung by Aled Jones amongst them)

Where the little boy's comes to life and he flies to the North Pole.

There's great people here, that's true... Some are a bit weird, though! Why, I know one lady that spent most of a day making overseas calls to announce her pregnancy
