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

Given the bitching that seems endemic on Mornington Crescent Msg Boards, thought I'd try to set up a game here for those of us who don't get uptight with others who inadvertantly transgress the rules of the game.
So: Below is the first line of a standard 5 line limerick. Next poster supplies a following line and so on. Whoever supplies the fifth line then supplies the first line of the next limerick.
I think that's clear, shout if it's not.


So, first line:

While trying to shampoo the cat...

While trying to shampoo the cat,
We got locked in mortal combat

Good to see you here W, I was hoping you'd find your way...


While trying to shampoo the cat,
We got locked in mortal combat,
Three times round the bathroom

Hi Thut, I hope this lives up to its name.

BTW, I know Polly, Rikii, and NIG (under his new name) are on h2g2.


While trying to shampoo the cat,
We got locked in mortal combat,
Three times round the bathroom
Could lead to a cat's doom

While trying to shampoo the cat
We got locked in mortal combat
Three times round the bathroom
The cat he did zoom

First time on and I interrupt.... sorry!

No probs adjascent we don't care...

While trying to shampoo the cat,
We got locked in mortal combat,
Three times round the bathroom

I figure this goes with either:

But I fell down on my bum with a splat!!!!


Thus far the games going quite well

W, Haven't yet figured out how to get in touch with specific people on h2g2 yet, so if you can find P, R & N & let them know, that would be sound..

So, returning to the Lim.



Thus far the game's going quite well...

Thus far the game's going quite well
And classical's sound as a bell

Thus far the game's going quite well
With luck this one won't go to hell

So far this games going quite well
With luck this one won't go to hell
But we're being pursued

So far this game's going quite well
With luck this one won't go to hell
But we're being pursued
( it's most terribly rude )

So far this game's going quite well
With luck this one won't go to hell
But we're being pursued
(it's most terribly rude)
So if you need help here, just yell!

The classical thread's on the blink

It's better without you, I think

The classical thread's on the blink
It's better without you, I think
You're probably right

The classical thread's on the blink
It's better without you I think
You're probably right
So be a delight

The classical thread's on the blink
It's better without you I think
You're probably right
So be a delight
And leave us to swim here or sink

A new week's beginning, alas!

A new week's beginning alas
So to brace ourselves let's raise a glass

A new week's beginning alas
So to brace ourselves let's raise a glass
And be of good cheer

A new week's beginning, alas
So to brace ourselves let's raise a glass
And be of good cheer
We've got nothing to fear
