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

Ok, so h2g2 gets voted out of the proverbial Big Brother House*. As tears roll down its cheeks Davina hugs it, points it at a monitor and says "Never mind h2g2, let's remind ourselves of your best bits".

*Insert your game show of choice.


So what are h2g2's best bits? Please post links below. Nothing is excluded: entries, personal spaces, conversations, postings, events, ... anything you can link to.


I'll kick this off with:

I never realized that Nighthoover left the site four months after I joined it.

Has he ever come back, even once? Have I?

That thread is at the top of my conversation list at the moment (because Paul revived it a couple of days ago) I am loathe to post and change it in my list because at the moment it reads that I last posted on that thread in October 2001.

Take that, facebook!

I don't think Nighthoover is on Facebook either.

Ah, the mysteries of the world!

I recommend that September 25th be declared an international day of recognition - the one and only appearance in the mortal realm by "himself".

Lettuce spray.

arr, that's mighty close to talk like a pirate day, matey .

some of us have celibrated... commiserated, that fateful day, every year since

2legs, my good man, it is your duty ! As perhaps the most devout and maybe even "First Disciple" of his Hooveriness . . . .

Perhaps Nighthoover is in reality an aardvark in search of an aardvarkcuum cleaner.

That Body Language thread was fun. (Don't have a link for it anymore.)

Also, the Murder Mystery was fun too. And I always loved this:

F2137311?thread=825564

Ooh - Ooh *waves hands over head and jumps up and down* I started the body language thread.

In those movements, I read a certain measure of satisfaction and pride.

*Gives TC a friendly wave.*

Link to: Body Language: Thread entirely without "spoken" words - F19585?thread=8298110

Does anyone have the Murder Mystery thread link?

Actually, this was the original Body Language thread: F2137311?thread=403461

I followed that one long before I eventually subscribed to H2G2

Re: Post 9, interesting and evocative suggestion.

Then of course, there's the relevant if prophetic passage from the Beatles movie, "The Yellow Submarine" after Ringo found a hole in his pocket.

Your pocket isn't empty if you can find a hole in it.

IIRC the murder mystery was a NaJoPoMo project one year - Icy's maybe?
