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

B-17, I've decided now. Can I have a hot choccy with a little whipped cream, oh a side glass of The Greebo. That'll wash the cream off me whiskers...

Can I take it at the table by the window in the sun, I'm feeling tired again...

*passes over the 'hcwwc' he had prepared for laisy anyway and a |_| of Greebo Special(with straw)*
Enjoy the sun my friend
Strange, i never heard the phone earlier. Oh well if it was important, they will ring back

I like tea.
I am just saying random things to be part of the conversation.

When you say random, do mean things that are all different?

Have you ever tried a hot choccy with a little whipped cream? Hmmm... it just makes me sleep all day... but it gives me nightmares of rodents getting their own back...

*passes BB a c(_) of tea anyway*

thanks b-17, that Greebo special is actually quite special.

I was wondering, a few days ago I was in and fell asleep over there in the sun. Did you see anyone approach me? I only ask because I had an extra special nightmare and a bit of a bad taste in my mouth when I woke up. I don't think it was Ook, since he is so sweet...

*comes up from basement with box of herbal teas, with phone between shoulder and ear*
Allo? Yes? He's not here. You what? No. We don't take sales calls. Please don't ring this number again or I'll have you assassinated.
*puts down tea and phone*
I've always wanted to say that.

Have y'all tried the Italian cream sodas? You can have any flavour you want. My favourite is vanilla & maple.

I got here by luck, actually, which I guess is how I ended up in the basement. It could be a DNS or a timeout next time. Quien sabe?

Laisy, sorry, I nearly missed your post as it was in the middle of a few others. I think your problem lies with Slarty. When you fell asleep the other night, this is what he did:

That hopefully should answer your question

I've been neglecting my tea drinking duties here.

Some Lapsong Scheusong (SP) please.

*whips up a quick pot of LS for DD*
There you go DD, good to see you again

Cheers Babel. I've been kind of busy and lost the Aroma Cafe just as Irv went on Holiday, so I'd better keep up from now on.

DD great to see you here again! How's the restaurant business? Hey everybody, Demon Drawer has an Italian restaurant here at h2g2 and he delivers pizza. Gwan, DD, give the URL.

Well, glad you found your way here again
If by some freak of nature you get lost again, the new thread is always posted on my page and is called 'The Counter'
How's NI this week?

Ehllo,

Studying went well- actually it didnt go at all, well, it went to Maccy D's for ice cream with a mate, does that count?

* phone rings

is anyone going to answer that? No? Ok then Hello....

*hands Ook phone

Its for you.... something about a shipment of bananas...

Tsk
*bends down to listen at earpiece*
Actually, Ook is handling that ok. Don't know why he needs to have bananas shipped when he gets them in perfect shape out of the IIEM.

*Ook hands phone to Lil who listens* Dial tone. Oh well, we'll see. If you get bananas shipped in, Ook, you're storing them in the shed out back, ok?
Ook: Oook.
*Ook picks up scrabble game and knuckles his way over to Babel-17, looking hopeful*

Hello Somat, drink perchance? Wash down all that ice cream?
What one did you have?
Ook, No! You cannot have my visa card number. I don't care.
The IIEM provides you with more than enough. If Vlad came back and saw you looking podgy, he'd blame us! Hang up. Hang up, now! Good boy.
Come here. *produces bunch of bananas from under the counter, hands them to Ook and pats him on the head* Now be nice. Out onto the porch with you, while your eating
*Ook shambles off to the porch*

Eho somat,

If your exam is in home economics then ice cream tasting will count as studying. If instead it is maths then I hope you counted all the special flava's...

Ook, can you get off that phone, I'm expecting an important call.

Damn Simulpost!
*tries to save simulpost face by shouting after Ook* And I'll give you a game of scrabble once you are done.
*puts board that Ook 'gave' him down on counter*

That should cover it

Flaky flaky flaky.
The posts aren't even in chronological order as I see them. Babel, shall we start a new thread?

b-17, thanks for that info about Slarty. He was the first one I met here and trusted him. If he ever comes in again while I'm sleeping, please wake me...

*laisy sticks head out into porch

Ook, can you do the same?

b-17, where is Vlad?
