A Conversation for Ask h2g2

Online_again, The One and Only Pift Started conversation Jan 15, 2002
there were a thread with an ongoing story written by H2G2 researchers. It involved singing "Follow the yellow brick road" backwards in in G-major... but I have no clue what happened to it.
Does any one remember?
Or what is more important: does anyone know where it is, or where smiliar things can be found?
I am a bit lost after returning here under new identity.My old friends here are gone.. and I can't find anything!

Ah, now I know where I saw Vakuum before 
Was that the one involving Mauve Weasels and the like, I was a very early contributor to that story - 2 years ago! 
I don't think it's reappeared yet since Rupert I'm afraid 
There have been several attempts to start another. There is one on my Whose Line is it Anyway games page and Sad Mad or Bad started one in her Word Gymsnastics page. Both are linked to from my homepage.

Yes it is the one with Mauve weasels! (I was there quite early too)
If there are many of us left we could start another one, know where I've seen you from now 
Going to your page now for a look!

A Clive, you missed out there then. They first turned up whilst unicycling and juggling rubber chickens whilst whistling the Belgian national anthem backwards! What heroes!
Didn't know about the storytime

...and here is the original story, or at least the page for it, the story still appears to be in moderation no man's land

Oh thanks for that - I'll take a look later! 
I tried my best to publicise h2g2 storytime , I carried the "A" page number in my name for ages - and we were just serialised in weekly segments in The Post (Thanks Shazz! 
.) I'm running out of ideas to try and populise the story again.

The new one was fun, but kinda started getting a bit silly, around the time when the Purple Juggling Unicycling Weasels turned up again....

We just resurrected Rasputin the mad monk of Russia from the 9th circle of Hell for giggle.
