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

What a nice entry...made me feel all warm and mushy inside...

Hey Possum, long time no hear from. Cheer up, the right individual will one day sweep into your life and you'll find that all fairytales are true after all and that this is the one that you've waited for all your life. Trust me, I met my match and I'm hoplessly in love with him.

Hmm, not too sure about that - I think I'll go off and become a Nun...or would I have to be a woman for that? Damn it!

To be a nun you must be a female.... LOL Anyways, really, I mean what I say. Love is waiting in some dark corner for all of us and sooner or later (I found that it's usually later) it jumps out at us all and snags us throughly....

Maybe I could start my own brotherhood of male nuns...it's bound to catch on...

There's an old Tajik proverb which says something along the lines of "Love is a complete swine"...

Perhaps we can start a coed abbey for the unlucky in love. . .unfortunately, once everyone was at the abbey, they would start getting lucky!

Oh well, back to the drawing board for me. Who's heard of a Jewish nun, anyway?

I don't know - if I can be a male nun, then I'm sure Jewish nuns should be allowed.

Maybe we should petition the Pope, or whatever. See if we can get the rules changed a little.

That would be one heck of an abbey - if you ever read Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, do you remember the chattering nuns? Maybe something like that could be arranged.

Male nuns... I like that idea. I see an abbey full of Jewish and male nuns. And one could invite some of the chattering nums from Good Omens to join us. But what of the habbits?

The habits? Hmmm. . . .how about the old standard scratchy robes with scanty lingerie underneath - mandatory for both sexes?

I jsut might go for something like that, but I fear that I find them to chaffe in all the wrong places.

That's what the lingerie is for.

I'm all for scanty lingerie, so long as it's red - I wouldn't wear any other colour.

I prefer black myself.

I believe that the male equivalent to a nun is a monk, although there aren't a lot of monastaries around anymore, except for historical tours and whatnot, mainly involving beer.

The good news is that you can wear brown robes and not worry about the scratchy lingerie

I was kinda looking forward to the lingerie...

If you are set on becoming a nun you could go the hole way a few quick cuts and then a few pills and you could be a woman in no time there again there's about 3 billion women in the world so maybe you could keep trying a bit longer.

Don't you just love good omens? its my favourite book ever.

Oh yes! It is so good, people thought I was crazy because I was often moved to laugh aloud.

Is that the only reason they think your crazy.
