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

Please shorten the title of the page. It's too big even for my 1024 x 786 monitor.

cheese! come join the rebellion. it was begun to lobby for a narrower screen! i can really use the help

it is a musical rebellion, tho.

'course, i don't guess you have to sing if you don't want to....

*trots back off to the rebellion, singing...*

every body in the tooooooown
can hear those forty thousand watts of dolby sound
and i'm mighty proud to saaaaaaaay
now i can watch 'the simpsons'
from thirty blocks awaaaaaaaaaayyyy!

No! Cheese! If you join the ever so popular "Anti-rebellion" party, I'll... uhh... double your pay! Yeah!

::begins plotting anti-rebellious things::

Hmm. A singing rebellion is hippie-ish (Although those 40,000 watts of Dobly sound ARE pretty cool ). An anti-rebellion is militaristic. I'll be in the anti-rebellion party.

well, it's not *really* hippy-ish, i'm not old enough to be a hippy. besides, they're 80's songs .

I like the "hippie" idea, but I think I'll stay neutral in this. (That way, I can make money selling all my shiny artillary to both sides if the conflict ever becomes a full scale war! *laughs while rubbing hands together in a slightly evil way*)

anne girl - -

could i get say twenty or so 'main-page-shrinking' artillery shells that play the tune of 'christmas at ground zero' as they fly through the air delivered to the musical rebellion headquarters?

thanks

YES! Cheese, I'm making you a Rear Admiral for the UCAIURLORRR Navy. And not just because "Rear Admiral" is an amusing military title. Your first objective is to launch... well, okay, throw as many big heavy objects as you can at that freakin TV! Go ahead and conscript an army from the peasantry to do all the hard work of course...

I'll start writing the Song to End the Rebellion... to be played on... da da da daaaaaaaaaaaa!!! My 40,000 watt PA! HAHAHAHAHAHA! ::unveils a 40' tall by 75' wide stack of speakers::

Oh and anne girl I'd like to place an order for some large explosive shells that play "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" when they hit...

All right, I've got the orders, now I'll process them... you guys should have them tomorrow, as long as I get payment in the form of personal check, Visa, Mastercard, or Discover. (Sorry, American Express not accepted.) Well, if you really wanted, you could get me some cds instead, or something else shiny...

*picks up a 50-mile-long cheesy hair metal guitar and throws it at the rebellion. The guitar plays an 80s cheesy solo as it hits.*

Sound check... ::turns on the 40,000 watt system, stands on a big balcony a half-mile behind the speakers with a guitar::

Hmm... ::strums a chord, shatters every window for several blocks in front of the speakers::

Not enough dammit! ::cranks the guitar to 10, starts playing Van Halen::

Yes! Totally RAD! COWABUNGA! HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!! Prepare yourself, rebels!

I can pay in CDs Anne girl but they're all 80's rock... Howzabout some Poison and Def Leppard?

Hmmm... Def Leppard is okay, but you know how I like the Cars... Ah well, consider yourself armed with some fun shells that play Queen tunes when used. *sends the truck out to the capital, Marc's dorm room* Enjoy!
Now, I'm still waiting for payment from the rebellion... Don't tell me all you have is American Express!

"...and while she can sell you musical implements of war, she won't take American Express. VISA. It's everywhere you want to be."

hehehe...

::starts energetically shelling the giant TV while a team of engineers tries to figure out how to keep the fuse box from blowing up when the PA gets cranked to 10::

BUDDY you're a boy
make a big noise
playing in the street
gonna be a big MAN SOMEDAY
ya got MUD on your face

WEEEEEE WILLLLLLLLL WEEEEEEEE WILLLLLLLL ROCK YOU!

Yes, i would if the fancy took me and when i had the power, i would lord it over the bathtub and terrorize rubber ducks.
