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

Hey, Fashion Cat,

Saw your question over at Tashall's and thought I'd drop an answer here.

Basically you can have classic goo set as your default to view all pages by selecting it in your preferences http://www.h2g2.com/UserDetails

However, you cannot have everyone that comes to your page automatically see it in classic goo. They will see it in goo or alabaster depending on their own preferences.

If you want others to see it in goo, you can put a link at the top of your page so they can click on it to see the page the way you want. For example, in GuideML on your page, you could use the following code:

See this page in Classic Goo!

You can also use graphics to suggest that it's better in goo. I have a page with some graphics and code at http://www.h2g2.com/A357437

Hope this helps.

Thanks Redbeard.... Much better!!

BTW Redbeard... I just found out we have the same birthday...

Happy b'day when it comes!!!

Very cool! We'll have to celebrate together!

we should start preparing now!! hehe...

Never too early! Bet we could get Lil to make us a cake at the café Although I suppose we should wait a couple of months before we drop the hint.

yup a cake would be great, though its still a few months yet!!

hehe.. BTW if you want a challenge, try figure out my drunken boyfriends ramblings... please, I wonder if it's just me??? (the latest journal entry on my page...)

Thanx!!

OK, this is a tough one...
Clearly he has problems determining the proper amount of alcohol to consume.

There are three possible reasons a guy would ask if you'd mind if he was unfaithful:

1. He's already done it and is trying to find out how you'd react. If he was going to attempt this approach, he sure wouldn't want to do it while drunk, because he'd tip you off and probably be too drunk to remember the response, so it would do him no good. He'd have to be REALLY stupid, which doesn't sound like the guy who brushed off the little mailing list problem you had earlier.

2. He sees an opportunity or has fallen down the road toward it and wants to get a kind of 'permission' or advance absolution. If that was the case, the fact that he's drunk and thinking about you enough to ask, means he's not thinking about her enough to follow through, might even be looking for some kind of communication with you to help avoid the temptation, and, as you said, would be unable to actually perform anyway.

3. It's a purely hypothetical/ philosophical conversation that has come up in some context, and... you know how when you're drunk you sometimes get into deep conversations that seem to have great significance at the time, plus you can be unaware that it may be inappropriate in that time and place?...

Which brings us to the final statement:
'Just think about this: if one can come in, how# can we stop other hethens?'

Clearly, this makes no sense whatsoever, but is exactly the kind of statement that can make you go "Oh, wow!" when you're on the mind-altering drug or alcohol of your choice. My guess here is that he was talking to someone else (who was also drunk), who said something that was about three sentences longer than that and still made little sense but was a bit more logical in the context of the conversation, and it sounded amazingly true to Si in his state. And this was as close as his altered brain could remember it.

This, then, leads me to believe that it's #3 above. Purely a philosophical discussion, totally out of place.

He should be told never to attempt philosophical/hypothetical discussions with you unless you're both in the same condition. That's just smart.

And he should be at least mildly punished for causing you grief....
I'm thinking maybe handcuffs and a whip... Oh, and maybe one of those hoods that buckle on and they can't see out of.

Well, this was the best I could do with the challenge.

Redbeard

hehe....

handcuffs.... whips..... punishment......

ah yes, back to reality... a few too many distractions there, sorry!

I hadn't thought about the third alternative actually, was more concentrating on the 'getting permission beforehand' one, but yes, your right, no 3 is much more sensible....

and as for the heathens thing, I had no idea whatsoever.... I just took it to be part of the alcohol.... but yep. you're totally right... thanx *hugz*

now all I have to do is make sure he appreciates his hangover tuesday!! 8oclock wake up call for him I think!! *evil grin*

8:00 wakeup after a hangover. hehe... you ARE evil

Oh yes!!

Why? Do I come across as not an evil person *thinks: maybe that's a good thing, you don't want too many people finding out about it*

hehe

COME PARTY RB!!!!
