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

Hat, dark glasses, big coat, reading a book, drinking a hot chocolate.

Definitely not Sartre, but adding to the atmosphere.

*sneaks a peek at the book, trying to figure out what it is, hoping it's not the N*cr*n*m*c*n*

*hurriedly shuts the comic book as it's compromising his intellectual image*

The Necro-something?

Hush! You must not utter the name of that loathsome book, else you bring down forces far darker than any modern theosophists or horror novelist could ever dream of...
(But, yeah, that ...nomicon thing...)

Tis not that dreaded book that I was perusing. It was a tome of far less consequence....

Namely 'Asterix och Vikingarna'...

Oh! Great book. I particulary fancy Obelix being wedded off to that squaw... *dreamy eyes* It's a long time since I read that...

You're thinking of Asterix and the Great Crossing. Yes, it is a good one

This here's Asterix and the Normans (in Swedish, so's I can practise) with the chief's nephew who gets captured to teach the vikings how to fly.

*smacks own head*
Of course. I get all confused with vikings and vinland and injuns, so I forget the poor gaelics (galls?). That one is even further from me in time, allthough it's much closer geographically.
You practicing swedish? Are you a lost child in Sweden? Or perhaps a lost Swede in some foreign land?

Not yet, but I may be next year.
Once I've graduated I'm moving to live with my Swedish-Finn girlfriend who will either be studying in Åbo or Stockholm next year. Either way I've got to improve my svenska!

Congratulations then! Those swedish girls are highly acclaimed here in the north...

Here in the UK too, mate!

Me ate a swede once... ~grin~

Bad Greebo, bad! (Unless it was a swedish male.. They're not worth much )

~Greebo hides her head in shame~

Me sorry... was an accident... honest...

*sties to maintain a stern face*
*fails*
Oh, how can I stay mad at you?
Look, it's okay.. It was just a swede.. Could be worse.. There's more of them anyway..

Greebo!

Are we cat or human today?
