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

Greetings one and all to the fabulous Aroma Cafe.
Fun, games and lots of friendly conversation, with the finest non alcoholic beveridges around.
The IIEM is primed and waiting for your order, should none of the caretakers be available. Enjoy.

A first-to-the-forum special for me please.

black pekoe tea, sweet, with milk, please. I've just successfuly had a whole hour of sleep, another victory. But I think I'll just sit and be a regular for a bit longer.

And I'll be an irregular, of course.

Mmm... hot chocolate...

Greetings, all. Just flown back from sunny Crete and popped in to let you all know that I shall probably be back on-line tomorrow night. I couldn't post a card because telecommunications in Plakias, Southern Crete are, to say the least, unreliable.
Catch you all later.

Dr J

Welcome back! Nice tan. What's the preferred choice of beverage in sunny Crete then?

I don't remember Dr. John asking our permission to leave for Crete. We will have to have a meeting about this.


BluesSlider, your espresso cup is ready. Where do I send it? If you're shy about publishing your addy, contact me at [email protected].


Coelacanth, I don't recollect seeing you here before, welcome in!

Thank you so much! I do a lot of lurking, so believe me, I've been before, but you have never seen me.
However, since Babel-17 gave me this lovely hat with holders for the drinks and a straw leading down, I really feel I should test it out.

Huh! And here I was thinking it was a periscope. What would you like to have poured into it?

btw, did anybody notice that my Atelier made the front page today?

Ook: Oook!
Pierrot: I read the news today, oh boy! Aawwk!

Hey, what's the new flavor of the month? Make that a double if you please...thank you kindly.

Hi ox! Crikey, I don't know. Let's assume the IIEM will.
IIEM, a double new flavour of the month for ox.

*waits to see what ox thinks*

(Fog slowly lifts from ox's brain) Yeah, buddy...now that's a brew! Such good coffee, so little time...

I was actually just thinking "Gee, I wonder where Doctor John is."

And just a big warning - I will be gone, without any internet connexion whatsoever for five and a half weeks starting July the fifth. So you know.

This site is just like some big university town. All the students disappear between terms.

Dr. John is really going to have to ASK NICELY for his own mug after just disappearing like that.

Yknow when I did Joanna's cup I borrowed a public domain image from the Hubble Telescope website ... and she _recognised_ which one it was. Boy was I impressed.

Hi Lil, Ioreth, Pierre, Ook and anyone else who's here that I missed.

Io, I love your mug... Lil did a great job with the texture on it.

How about a cup of coffee and, do you have any of those apple pastries with the strange name? I can't remember what it's called.

Hi there... Can I have some anticoffee please? I'm too tired to read the backlog...

(Pops head in the Cafe door)-Just visited the Zen website. I was actually heading for the pool but fell in with a cool monk instead. I really tried not to bat the fly...

You and the monk fell into the pool?

I feel like a fool-didn't fall in the pool
But I flew with the fly and humbled the I...

Cool pool, fool! Fly high, I!
Hi ox! How are you doing?
*decides he needs to get to the zen site and see these wonders*
