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

Welcome, what do you know?

Who, me? Well, I'll tell you one thing I don't know. What the hell they mean by "Subject". That has been keeping me up at night. Anywho, thanks for dropping by. I really appreciate the warm welcome. I didn't realize that word spread so fast here. It's sorta like my quiet, little, redneck, white-trash, mountain town. Well, it's not a mountain town, but close enough. It's not really white-trash either. However, it is quiet, extremely small (you can drive down all the streets in about half an hour.... just a theory... I've never tested it), and there are quite a few rednecks. But it's more wannabe ghetto than white-trash. The local militia runs around in their little gold chains with one leg of their pants hiked up. *sigh* It's sad, really. Anyway, thanks again. Am I going overboard with the fish?

Hi,
Interested to hear about the folks with one trouser leg rolled up. Over in the UK there is a belief that the "Freemasons" do this as part of their secret rituals, and with their "funny handshake" (done covertly - not like the high five) they are viewed with a certain amount of suspicion. Despite their assertion that it is their intention to benefit mankind there is doubt about their "perceived" need for secrecy - although they seem to be making an effort to come out of the closet.
Could it be that your locals are members of the new world "Reformed Freemasons".

I don't think you should worry about having too many fish unless you find yourself up to your waist in dolphins.

That's good,I'm not up to my waist... only my neck. And they're not dolphins... they're fish. Anywho, as far as the one pant leg, I have no clue where that started, but everyone is convinced that it's ghetto even though I've never in my life seen a thug with one pant leg rolled up. I think they probably saw the backstreet boys doing it, or something and assumed that maybe people would think they were cool. And yet they still run around in their little Abercrombie and Fitch shirts while reading their "Hooked on Ebonics" booklet. Well, at least I've got someone to make fun of without feeling guilty considering that they're all schmucks. Toodles

This is fantastic. I too was trying to think of a subject or at least what was the meaning of lif. When lo and behold (I think that's olde english fo Hey!) I saw your fish. THAT'S MY SUBJECT. I hope this saves my comments or I'll have forgotten what a subject is by tomorrow.
