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

I've set out the peanuts and those little cheese and pineapple squares on sticks, Drinks are all cooling in the fridge so feel free to help yourself. now all i need are some guests, feel free to drop into my party ... what am i celebrating? joining the vegetarian society of course. I have to warn you though there's a fancy dress compotition running and there's a pretty hefty prize of ... er...well lets just say it's a suprise eh!

switches on the music, glances once more at my costume in the mirror and opens the door...

Woohoo! A party!

Just need to invite a few guests now. Think I might and make some carrot too. Need a to celebrate properly.

*raises a glass to NLDohs* Welcome to HVS!

Cheers!

I'm glad someone else is here, i've just been drinking by myself *hic* now other people will be here to drink with me, ahhh.

So what's your costume? It took a while for me to decide on my but once i put in a little effort...



I made the parrot myself

*wonders in dressed as a cirrus cloud* Mmm...

At the fear of dampening everything, might I suggest just a moment of reflection sometime in the proceedings (preferably before everyone gets drunk)? Though admittedly I went to a party IRL on Friday (which had been organised a long time in advance - the opening party of a building I was involved in the design and construction of) and I don't recall much reflection there...

*saunters in dressed as a carrot, realises that theres carrot cake on offer and so Pegasus may get ideas about making some more. Rushes out*

*returns dresses as a tin of lovely plum tomatoes (value ones as I am a student)*

Now please no one get any ideas of making a nice tomatoe and basil sacuce for some pasta. I'm not edible.

Hay thanks for the invitation, though I haven't arrived too fasionably late. Could I possibly have a and a grape on a stick?

*starts to jig to the music. Lucily for you, you can't see due to the enormous can of tomatoes outfit*

Help yourself, the 's are over there in the corner and there's beer in the fridge ... careful you don't knock over the five foot trifle on the way. I've also set up a fountain in the garden which pours out whiskey... mmm (hey anythings possible allright!)

How about some trashy party music? Any suggestions? We could always start by playing Roxanne

*The door flies open and a stack of crates, labelled "Organic Cider" appears sporting a pair of legs at the bottom*

Yoohoo! I've arrived! Hello? Can someone take these crates before I drop them please?

*Starts to stagger as she holds back a sneeze*

Atishoo!!

*The crates crash to the floor, several bottles shatter and cider oozes out around Gwennie's feet*

Ooops! Does anyone have a mop?

*enters, sporting a Maggie Thatcher outfit, mops and mows at Gwennie and accepts from NLDoHS in return for a *

Hi everybody!

Hi there, i'm glad you could all come. I'd like to propose a toast to being a vegetarian and i hope everyone will still be one for many many years in the future

~Greebo cruises the buffet table looking for her fav. food~

Hello everyone...

*is in the corner whipping up a batch of chocolate soy milk, her all-time favorite drink*

To being a veggie!

*Treads on Pierce's toes and shoves the broom handle somewhere up his Maggie T. skirt*

And I suppose that mop will be squeezed out and added to the contents of the vat that passes for your stomach Pierce!

*Spies Greebo and tosses her a *

Hey Greebs! Catch!

*Pours herself a of cider, which she hold high for a toast*

to us veggies and many thanks to NLD for inviting us all!

*wanders in dressed as a vampire*

Hi. I agree, thanks to NLD.

*looks around for something to attack, then settles on red wine, which is at least the right colour.*

*jumps up and down waving her hands and saying "safnoijflk! vrmeioqutn! sukycbusdhjk!" to see if anyone will notice*

*notices and goes to look for a Polish-English dictionary*

*Pours a cider and raises galss aloft*
to being a veggie, may out lives be healthy and out friends be the many animals that we do not eat!

*strange aparition walks in with case of Golden Promise bottles (Caledonian breweries best real , incidentally organic) on shoulder*

Did someone mention a party? Do I have houmous or humus or who moose?

Oh look, I believe I do

*sets down much loved and much spelt houmous on table, with bread and various fresh vegetables for dipping...*

What is the aformentioned humouse (I really shouldn't have attempted the spelling of that, not in my state)?

*sneaks in quitely and grabs a cider*

*Waltzs around the room a few times to see if his disguise is working*

Hi Everyone,
I've come as the invisible man!

Cud anyone tell?

Z.

Darnit Zarniroop, there was me thinking you were an invisible slice of lemon... a cunning disguise indeed.

What is houmous? Perhaps I should reveal the fact that I have come dressed as a chickpea... no, then they will want to pureé me and add garlic, olive oil and lemon to me when the houmous I brought im at the start runs out....
