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

Hi, My name is Grahame. I am a middle-aged male from Godzone (New Zealand). I work in the advertising section of a newspaper creating print advertisements. Not a bad job. Like most things in life it has its ups and downs (pun intended). There are 9 of us, six females, three males. All, except one alleged male, drink, most copiously. I am divorced with a 21-year-old daughter who has a 3-year-old son. I spent 1973-74 in Britain and Europe. Has anyone seen my Volkswagon van recently? Had a wonderful time. I am looking forward to interesting inter-active verbal jostling with the good citizens who contribute to h2g2. As some of you whom I have met in the last few weeks may have noted I enjoy, amongst other things, irony, leg pulling and taking the lighter slant on life. I will never let a chance go by when I come across any of the sons of the sheep stealers (Australians) To anyone I offend, please accept my humblest apologies in advance.

pass the VODKA please!
did i ever tell you how much i just LOVE VODKA!!!!

One bottle of vodka and a chocolate fish winging its way to you, by pigeon post, as we speak. You will recognise the pigeon, it's the grey one.

I am not a pigeon, I'm FREE MAN!

Grey Area, I believe you are the sort of person who, when he sees a sign saying "Way Out", responds, "Way To Go Man". No chocolate fish. But have a vodka. Yes, I will join you. Cheers.

hey, do i get a chocolate fish?

oh my yes, one chocolate fish filled with vodka on it's way
I JUST LOVE VODKA!!!! goes great with everything!!!

grey area....... are you sure you're not a pigeon???

MadMunk, lovely to see you. Have 2 chocolate fish. I seem to have a spare one. I will send them by Flying Fox. My pigeon is overdue from its previous journey.

Monshari did you get the bird. Maybe I should rephrase that. Please return Perigrimy, the plump pigeon ASAP.

ahhh, loonytunes, so sorry, perigrimy is on its way as i type. forgive me for keeping him so long but we were having such a great time what with the vodka and all. you may have to keep an eye on him though as he seems to get a little crazy when after a few glasses of VODKA

That's all I need. A drunk bird making a mess when I meet with other anonymous drinkers at Alkie Al's Ale house.

i'm so so sorry, i couldn't help it , he looked at me with that sad little pigeon face and i had to let him have some. look on the bright side, he could turn out to be a great conversation piece you know

Or a delicious pie with a chocolate stuck in his mouth.

oh my!, that might be very nice!
will you share?

The only problem I find with choclate fish is that you have to watch out for bones. I myself prefer the choc lobster, a succulent little morsel only found in Nomanza Island.
*passes some around*
Well, what do you think?

ohh! wowbagger,sounds good, will have to try that sometime

just stepping in for a moment on my rounds to let you all know that if you want to see zachsminds newest idea then click on this link, i think you will be impressed, i know i was

For another view on the same subject read the article, 'Curate's Egg' posted on this very page.

The choc lobster is a rare thing, but I'll see what I can do seeing as you asked so nicely
Watching out for the claws is the big thing. But it does go well with Vodka, much like chocolate fish or crunchy frog.

Has fond memories of Moreton Bay Bugs served in a creamy chocolate style sauce. Wonders where the bugs lived before Moreton built the bay? Maybe they paid rent at Codfish Island.
