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

As far as I can tell, it's just a slang word for "cool" which seems to be fashionable at the moment...

*Continues digging*

<BB<

*building sand towers*

*Collects lollipop sticks to glue together to make a portcullis for the sand sandcastle.*

<BB<

*The Professor looks up, having been accused of being fashionable after using the word 'kewl'...*

*Teleports a heap of lollipop sticks, just in case BB wants to use them. If not wanted, they'll vanish instantly...*

I think I've got enough, thanks. :-) I picked them up from the Ice-Cream stall: http://www.h2g2.com/F44375?thread=67843 *Finishes gluing the lollipop sticks together, and places them in the sandcastle's gateway.* OO! Time to dig tunnels in the sand - I love that!

*Returns from stealing the Alabaster House's Flag*
Okay - we now have 4 flags to go on top of the Large Sandcastle's towers
So, how's the building work gone?

<BB<

*dragging Noticeboard along the beach*

Tunnels? Are we talking secret passages?

*The Professor looks up at the mentioning of secret passages...*

Eh what?

*removes sunglasses...*

Secret walkways? I'd best keep on the lookout then - Morphs like to get into those sort of things.
Why, when I was battling my way through their labs, I stumbled on hundreds of the. I just couldn't...*and he trails off into one of his silly ego-building stories again.*

Well - there's nothing to stop us if you know how to, but I was just meaning to make a little tunnel just big enough to stick your arm through.

<BB<

A - A little tunnel? Why not make several?

*starts digging, dropping Noticeboard*

Indeed - why not make several?

*Joins in the digging in the sand, making a network of tunnels running everywhere*

<BB<

*looks at BB, suddenly struck by a thought*

..and what do you think we will find living in the tunnels?

*shudders*

AquaMarina! Could you get some crabs to keep guard in these tunnels?

*The Professor gets lazily up from his deckchair, and comes over to help.*
*In the base of the towering sandcastle, he begins firing laser bolts through the sand, making a right swiss cheese out of it, before the whole thing gets coated in diamond...*

Hmm... well, we did try digging a tunnel to the Forum & Firkin, and encountered the Tentacle and Kitty along the way...
It shouldn't be that bad, though...

<BB<

Prof, what on earth - or in the universe - are you doing?

This is a SAND castle, entirely made out of sand (and lolli pop sticks) - so stop that, and help us digging more tunnels instead...

Two Sandcastles are being built on the beach
- a high tech diamond coated one built by MaW and his Penguins
- and a traditional - sand & spade - one built by Titania.
Bluebottle is helping to build both, and is currently digging tunnels for Titania's.

*The Professor looks back at them drearily...*

Eh what? Oh, wrong castle...

*Please note that he's still on holiday, so he's a bit absent-minded right now...*
*At Titania's request, he doesn't fire the holes in an efficient way through the sandcastle, instead choosing the slower method of using his hands...*

Thanks Prof! *smiles sweetly*

..and thanks for explaining, BB!

*digging*

No probs Titania...always glad to help out...

*continues digging...decides against using his Watch to speed him up, as it might spoil the fun...*

*Digs away, and with the sand dug from the tunnels, makes a nice pile of sand that can be made into a tower for the sand castle.*
