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

Hey, I didn't think the Hardy Boys were in this story.

* M.K rides past on his new Quad-bike... *

Come on, where's your sense of adventure !!!

M.K*

Did I miss anything ox?

*after a mandatory sojourn in RL ox awakens on the beach to find the hard-won shark carcass miraculously floating in shallow water*

Yippee! *leap frolick*

It's an easy task to gut and filet the big and tote the succulent shark steaks to the fire. *ox uses sharpened seashell as filet knife*

Hey ox, well done with the shark
*approaches from the tribal camp*
I've found the cargo net from the first shelter and taken it to the camp. we've started on a log cabin and there's a fire going at the moment.
I'm gonna have a go at the machine-gun in a bit...see if it works. If it doesn't tonite could be fireworks night

*heads back to Yapong base camp*

*alicat has some great footage of ox's triumph over the shark. The Yapong tribe members gather around to decide how they will manage to process the carcass. Ox's stone tool will not penetrate the tough skin.*

Oooops, sorry alicat! I cleaned it on the beach with a sharpened seashell...Thanks!

*enroute to the Yapong base, eats points out to alicat that the tribes cutlery collection consists of a foot long bowie knife, a penknife and a growing feeling of hunger*
And ox can turn his hand to anything
*strolls on*

*wanders past, taking Fred the crab for a walk*
*pauses by ox*
Shame Dan's suggestion of using this little guy as a knife never panned out.
*sits down next to ox*
Well,
*pulls out a long knife from her backpack*
*it's covered in blood*
Whoops, I didn't clean it last night...
*wipes it on her white t-shirt*
Blimey, that's gonna scare them at base-camp

*If anyone else fancies their chances...*

* Please state if you take out the boat or the Ox's canoe... *

*Smelling the blood of thier dead relative a pod(?) of sharks approaches the island*
*Having been traveling for many hours to arrive as quickly as possible the sharks have become so hungry that they risk coming very close to the shore, sensing the presence of large food...*

* The sharks have left hours ago.. *

* A large package attached to a parachute ditches into the ocean about a mile out from the beach... *

* If it is not pick-up within the next 15 minutes, it will have sunk forever into the choppy swell... *

*wondering at Tweet's cryptic message, whether or not this kayak exists anymore or not and hang the sharks, ox grabs said kayak and rushes into the water, locates the parachute and pulls it on board. Before anything else can happen, he hurries back to the beach*

*puff puff paddle paddle*

*Kiddo would swim after it! But, alas, he is lost in the forest.*

*school of sharks*

* After the brave Ox finally subdues a shark following with the crudely fashioned oar made out of wood, he finally reaches the shore... *

* After a investigation of the package the contents are as follows...2 pillows, two towels, a blanket, a bottle of red & white wine, a large serving tray of roast chicken & a small bowl of trifle... *

OK Folks, it's Friday, and you know what that means! PARTY!
