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

I'm watching Top Of The Pops and apparently the Britney Spears concert is "the concert everybody's talking about". So "Everyone's talking about it" with Eastenders and every other BBC ad has "The blah everyone's talking about". Do the BBC have a "everyone's talking about it" quota?

I don't know. Want to talk about it?

The BBC 'Everyone's talking about it' quota: Everyone's talking about everybody talking.

If i'm thinking about it, am i involved in the thread that everyone is talking about?

Hm. You're involved in the thread which everybody's apparently talking about, which talks about the 'Everybody's talking about it' slogan the beeb... talk about.

But is everybody really talking about this tread?

Doesn't look like it. Perhaps we should start a thread to discuss why this is?

Noggin

But what would we talk about?

"The thread about the thread that everyone's talking about, which everybody is not talking about, about the 'Everyone's talking about it' slogan on the BBC..."

Oh the usual stuff. This and that. Nothing in particular. Badgers.

Noggin

And mushrooms

B

SNAKE!

RF

Oh, it's a snake, a snake! Badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger mushroom mushroom badger badger badger badger badger badger (and so on)

I am thinking of a very tranquil lake.

It is flat and beautiful.

There may be one (or perhaps two) lilies on the surface.


If anyone mentions badgers I will kill them. I will wake up my feet.

Urma? What strange feet.

Actually I freaking hate the whole badgerbadgerbadger thing anyway. I was just conforming. (Bad Shagrath! BAD! *slaps*)

Oh look, a lobster!

RF

Because we're not really talking but typing.
Add that actually some of us may be moving our lips while we type.
Don't forget that some of us type more than we talk.
Greet each other with each post, that'll be more like talking.
Everyone should be able to follow these guidelines.
Remember the acronym and it should be easy!

*mystified*

What is the badger thing anyway? I was talking about this thread with .. er .. all my imaginary friends, and they couldn't tell me about it.

This is one of those rare occasions when it might well have helped if I was posting this after a few drinks.

Mol

Well, personally I have more Ferrett friends then Badgers but I'm not prejudiced, you understand....

I haven't a clue, actually. I just like to play along like I do understand, like one of those idiots who laughs before the punchline.

are we all talking about this thread here or are we talking about it in other places because i can commute to different threads, i have my week saver and postage stamp...

Well.......we were talking about this thread here, here until you started talking about another thread there that was talking about this thread here which was when we started talking about that thread, not this one. So now.....I'm talking about you talking about us talking about this thread, whether here or there.
