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

*Now rotated up to the net, Mari-rae waits until Kheldar is just about to hit the serve, and quick as lightning flashes him!! Kheldar boggles and the ball goes straight into the net! Shazz and Mari-rae high five each other!*

*runs back to the game, thinking he may have seen breasts*

What'd I miss, What'd I miss!!!!?????

~puts on his sunglasses~

OK, that's it. Now it's time to play. Everybody back to the field!
Playtime's over.

~prepares for his next serve, which is a very good one. With a strange effect it swirves over the net...~

btw, what's the score atm ?

*Spikes the ball down to cloughie. He sails it up into the air on his side. Kheldar returns it over the net. Shazz sends it back into an unprotected corner. Tied score 2 - 2. Our serve.*

Alicat serves a rather weak lob to Big Al, a sudden freak wind blowing in from the Artic freezes the water ceremoniously dumped into his trousers by a so-called friend.

This makes certain bits go stiff, all the girls swoon-quite right too-and Big Al easily wins the point as all the comely females, flashing or otherwise -and weren't they nice !!- are all out on the deck and unable to move.

Cloughie and Kheldar give Big Al some low fives it's all he can manage with his freezing subframe and all 3 make faces at Shazz, Mari-Rae and Alicat who look a bit annoyed !!!!

Our serve I think !

Big Al nonchalantly props himself against the side of the screen and waits for the official umpire to return from lunch

*Giggling at Big Al's ballooned and frozen pants, the girls have completely lost track of who's turn it is. No umpire is forthcoming, so everyone stops for another round of refreshments under the shade of the palm trees.*

I'll have a nice large vt!

... and I'll have a pint of Old B*****d in honour of Big Al
Hey... isn't that a table tennis table over there? Maybe we should try playing a game with smaller balls (no insult intended Big Al!)

Are you saying that you're settling for a draw at the volleyball? Whatever happened to that infamous "I have to win"-killer instinct of yours then ?

I expect Shazz feels that size isn't everything.

*Ducks an incoming swipe from Shazz*

Besides, if you lot were real gentlemen, you'd be chivalrous and give us ladies the match!

Now we know why they did so well fellas they had a 4th lady hiding in reserve using Shadow-ACE's stealth suit so that she was invisible.

I think you should forfeit and I'm taking my ball back until you learn your lesson, so there !

Sulks and walks over to the table tennis table where he takes up a bat and starts playing with himself, next he practises a few serves !!

Anyone seen Alicat ?

Maybe she fancies a game with smaller balls, I know I do, how about you lot, Gwennie, ShazzPRME, Kheldar, Cloughie-still grinning from his YES concert, Mari-Rae-anybody ?

Sneaks off to the bar until someone comes to play with him

*A time-out is called and all players retreat to the bar for some game-enhancing refreshments. *

I think drinking is what we do best, how 'bout a drinking game?

One frog...

As my father was Polish I will have an unfair advantage in any drinking contest so to be fair to the rest of you I will tie one of my throats behind my back and just use the other two.

Also I promise not to drink more than two bottles at the same time.

Big Al is feeeling a lot happier now that he is in a game he understands a bit.

Considering the fact that it would take a lot of alcohol to fill me up from toes to head, I decided not to play, cause that would be an unfair advantage as well. I'll just sit at the bar and be referee then

Hrmphh.....

TM.

Errrmmmm...say what???
Being in your grumpy mood again TM ?

Translation : *muffles laugh...*

...and WE are accused of hiding an extra player!
*takes a few more swigs and promptly falls over*
shazzPRME

OK, are we drinking for speed or capacity?

Good point Ali! Capacity I think... you know how the men have to keep going to the loo when drinking large amounts! What if we ban all conveniences until the end of the competition! They will all blow up like balloons Hehehehehe!
