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

has anyone read the first post in this thread?

I don't think I could even manage a waffer-thin mint at the moment. I gave blood this morning (my 10th donation, and so I got a nice little badge), and it always seems to make me ravenous, so I've been troughing all day.

Ack! You would have to mention that scene! Augh! Now I'm off my supper!

Pizza!? Pizza is a plot by the Americans to make the rest of the world as fat and lazy as they are. Death to the American fat impreialists!

Ugh... No pizza for me.

Mr. Creosote's scene was the only scene in a movie - ever - where I actually had to control my gag reflex. Watched it again just recently and had the sudden realization that the gross curds spewing from his mouth (and eventually from his chest cavity) were actually oatmeal, tinted a peach color.

Where are these American fat imperialists, anyway? All the rich folks 'round here are skinny. Look at Donald Rump, or Bill Gates. I want Boss Tweed back - we need rich people we can laugh at.

bubbles and squeek? schnozberry pudding? fish and chips?

What's schnozberry pudding?
And is this a dig at the fine cuisine of the British Isles?

there is a big supermarket chain slowly moveing up the eastcoast,the new stores keep their prices down,but just untill they have run all the other local fooood stores out of business,thus contributing to the riseing overall cost of pizza

no dig - just trying to make everyone equally comfortable. i was going to say "spotted dick", but I didn't know if it would get as that would mean something rather rude in American terminology. And I already got moderated by using a word in American that meant nothing at all - but seems it's a very bad word in the UK!

"Schnozberries? Who ever heard of a schnozberry?"

("The suspense is terrible. I hope it lasts.")

Schnozberry - I believe it's from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

"So shines a good deed in a weary world."

How about Sign of the Times by the Tom Robinson Band? (TRB)
"I'm not worried
Why should I mind
It's nothing but a sign of the times..."

Yes, death to the fat running dog imperialists and their evil pizza which always gives me gastric oesophageal reflux! (Heartburn)

Dudley Moore, when being interviewed in America by Johnny Carson, once caused that venerable man who just about have a stroke...

Dudley was a chain smoker, and was discussing this habit. He said, casually:
"Wherever I go, I like to have a fag in my mouth."

BTW, what word was it, Michelle? You can't say Shatner on the BBC Star Trek board. (You can, but the nannyware highlights it in red, in case you didn't realise you swored.)

B*gger, for instance, is a much naughtier word than Americans realize. Bloody is another one. While the naughtiest word of all, f**k, is only an acronym, right? ('For unlawful carnal knowledge' is what I've always heard.)

I like running into people who remember TRB.
I used to listen to him everyday.
