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

Has anyone noticed how many "The return of ........" ther are?

By jimmeny there's a lot.

Yes. They spread when no-one is looking.

discraceful they way they seem to propagate.... And, of course, just when you think they have gone, they return...

It's the Boomarang Principle at work. Devilishly fiendish!

Yes, had I thought I would probably have recognized that such was the principle accounting for the observed features of the situeation. I believe the principle was heavily resurched at MIT in the late 90's, did you ever read the long review on the subject in 'Scientific screwballs'? It wasn't very interesting...

I like returns. They're like sequels

They're not as good as the original, but hey, you don't expect as much

Ahh, yes, the old adage, 'expect nothing, and never get disappointed'. Wonder what the new terminator movie will be like as a sequel to a sequel Sequils can be good sometimes

Yes, I read the article. It was very boring. I use as a sleep aid instead of pills - highly effective.

Prequels are better

You never see threads called 'What Music are you Listening to - Part Negative One' or 'Before the return of...'

Nope. Not enough prequel conversations here.

Right, post ten.
Offically from this point onwards the conversation can potentially* turn random at any point...

Any conversation can turn random.

Random is a funny word...

But not as funny a word as 'comady'

Or 'moist'

And, neither as rude a word as 'job'..
Well, not as mildly amusing as 'titter'

Noctambulist conjures up some curious images in my mind

'peanut'
'mouse'
'peapod'

I always find those holes in the sides of portible radio sets rather amusing, the ones that the handle sits in

What about the dimples in Ryvetas (sp?)?

they are just scary...

like evil, weird, strange abnormal out of this world things... pub or no pub

Oh no! It's the return of the word "Random" again.

Random Random Random Random Random Random Random Random Random Random Random Random Random Random Random Random Random Random Random Random.
