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

Take heed! This year is more than half over! And you've spent a good part of it waiting for your user page to download.

The Aroma Cafe welcomes you: its early summer caretaker Lil welcomes you: the blue orangutan named Ook also welcomes you and hopes you play scrabble.

We do terrific teas and wonderful coffees and some specialty drinks, too. If no-one is here to serve you, the IIEM (Infinite Improbability Espresso Machine) will fill your order, inscrutably if not gladly.

Bells of sarna hang at the door, alerting the customers within to your arrival...

Coffee. I'm still waiting for any of my pages to download.

you get your coffee in the special first-to-the-forum cup --
---------> ^}~{^

I'll have hot chocolate, I think.
DD, you are up very very late to be drinking coffee, not that I wouldn't have your company ... but methinks you are experiencing a high psychic energy level!

*boils bottled NZ water for more green tea for Looney*

by the way, did you hear that today the state of Vermont legalised the formation of same-sex marriages, or consensual unions as they seem to be calling them these days?

*sips chocolate*
*Ook can be heard clattering away at the keyboard out on the porch*

Well, everything is clean and ready for the British morning trade, or even the insomniac east coast trade ... So I'm out of here.

*sets IIEM on autopilot and heads out the back toward the Atelier*

I hadn't, but I was interested to read earlier this week that Hawaii had decrimilised personal cannabis use. Are these two things likely to spread to other States?
Iif any of the cafe's denisons are wine drinkers you may want to pop over to Lil's Atelier to read about some stunning NZ wines.

Sips tea

*turns back as she hears the bells of sarna ringing out front*

I hadn't heard that about Hawaii. As regards other states, it was said on NPR this afternoon that the Constitution requires all states to recognise the legality of contracts formed in other states.

And I'm all in. I've been doing yard work today and I'm not used to physical activity yet. Actually, I bought some cheap balloons today and I'm going to use them to improve my lung elasticity.

Anyway, I'll look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Everybody who wants to see a brilliant and subtle sendup of wine-columnery, go on over to http://www.h2g2.com/A304354 and read a short way into the 17th conversation.

*jinle-jingle*
*enters casting furtive looks about*
*doesn't see Lil about, straightens posture and strides in*
IIEM, tall glass of whole milk w/ice and some Oreos, please.

Loony, Mr. Drawer.

Was watching for Lil. Strikes me as a good hearted person but, I peeked in over at the CLI yesterday and put in my 1.5 cents worth.

Odra said not to worry but, still.
*settles in on couch*

*groggily rises from ottoman, blinking*

Wha...um. ls it Saturday or Sunday?

Hi jr, Loony, DD et al.

*groggily rises from ottoman, blinking*

Wha...um. ls it Saturday or Sunday?

Hi jr, Loony, DD et al.

its still friday for about 45 more minutes, i think, time is only a relative thing, how possible is it to get a hot cup of joe?

Very possible...just head over to the counter, and say "llEM? l want a cup of coffee."
And it will give you one.
lf there's anything else you'd like, nonalcoholic and within reason, and that isn't sushi, just ask it, and it will fill your order.

isnt that simply marvelouse(sp?) "llem hot cup of rotten tasting folgers coffe please" you know *gesturing slightly at Odradek* ive been surfing the guide for a couple days now and i am still un able to find any specific information, that anyone could possibly use, have you found any if so where?

Pertyboy, check out the link Lil posted a little higher in this forum

*blinking*
Goodness, Odra. Didn't notice your tent there. Must need to upgrade my weird (variable focal lenght glasses) focals, or the djinn is still messing with my optics (hee). On the great plains it's about to be Saturday.

Odra, given that Delores is at the CLI (and presumably cozying up with the celery-you do know they go well together) is it possible the djinn has something to do with the warp-warp around here?

how to be a wine conessiour is not exactly what i was looking for, im not certain what i am looking for but i know that isnt it, thanks anyway though *grins in a very thankful manner*

Sigh. Really, people. Are you going to blame my pets for every odd occurence and technical difficulty round here?

Well. lt's probably their fault...but still...

llEM...blackcurrant with honey, please.

*brushing off cobwebby stuff*
Obviously, I have been in some form or s.t.c. warp didn't notice you there either pertyboy.

ehh im easy to miss, really its ok dont blame yyourself , the name is deceptive really it is, it should be something like pertyeasytomissboy whatta you think i kinda like the ring to it.

Pertyboy...have you been here?
