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

*stretches arms, stretches legs* Lots of room here today! Coffee anyone?

~Irving

I love the weekly cleanup! *throws last mop inside and closes broom closet*

I'd like some regular drip coffee with LOTS of milk and sugar, please. How was the play received? How was the party?

The house was packed all three nights. (That's theatre speak for every seat being filled )

The party, as parties go, was fun

*serves Lil regular drip coffee with **LOTS** of milk and sugar*

~Irving

*sips contentedly*
Life is good when net response is snappy. I suppose Greebo is still partying? And Mike's off on Ferrari to play. Are you going to watch the Dinosaur thing on the Discovery Channel?

When is it? Most likely not, but it depends on the circumstances... In fact, thinking of it now, I don't think we get the discovery channel.

~Irving

Well, it's on at 8 EST, if that's what standard I'm on now. You haven't changed times, have you? It's disorienting to have the day gone by so fast. Anyway, the computer graphics are supposed to be quite good, so I'll watch.

No change for Arizona.

~Irving

Anything is better than how it is for a friend of mine in South Dakota. She drives into town and finds it's an hour earlier than when she left the house. The state has gone and divided itself in to different zones...

Are there any apple donuts left?

*reaches under counter*

Yes, one. You've eaten the rest, I'm afraid.

~Irving

*pops in before it gets crowded*

I say Lil, I can't find Ferrari anywhere!

*sleeps in the corner - tis 10pm GMT*

I didn't realize Ferrari had gone out again. Well, it's too late for galloping about in the woods anyway.
*puts a Sunday newspaper under Mike's head for a pillow*

I say, Irv, thanks for saving me that donut! *eats donut happily* What do you think of the idea of hanging up a little bit of bunting or maybe a few flowers in honour of Greebo getting married?

I've no problem with it

~Irving

Well, we can collect them, flowers, fresh in the morning. It's spring. I saw freesias down the path. Do we have any vases here, or shall I bring a couple?
*looks over at sleeping Mike A*
He almost looks innocent. You wouldn't think it was possible.

Note your use of the word "almost". Yes, Lil, if you bring the flowers and the vases, I'll put them up

~Irving

Yair, I'll pay for that tomorrow

OK, I'll see if I can get here before herself does.

Good Luck!

*Stumbles in, rubbing feet*

Okay, I just got back from a trip to Disney World that lasted around four days. They should really make those parks easier to get to . . .

*Reads backlog*

I . . . Greebo's getting married? Wow, I . . . wasn't expecting this much. I GO AWAY FOR A WEEKEND, AND EVERYTHING CHANGES!!!

I think I need a Usual. Please.


*BTW, if Greebo reads this, congratulations*

Well it's good to see you back in the universe, I must say. It was rather a busy week, I suppose.

Yes, welcome back, Affy! And it is true, Greebs is getting married, and soon!

~Irving

*comes in very quietly, seeing that the lights are dimmed and recalling that Mike A is asleep*
*finds Mike A gone*
Here's a note on the counter ... ah, our Mike's left at dawn with Ferrari! We won't see _them_ till teatime.
*pulls vases out of tote bag , fills them with water. Creates bouquets of freesias and pussywillows*
*puts vases along counter*
*starts putting up banner reading CONGRATULATIONS GREEBO on back wall.*
*tries to stand on IIEM while affixing last bit of sellotape to hold up end of sign*
*slips and falls within range of IIEM force field*
*vanishes*
