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

...not to mention the taste...

...when a h2g2 feels just as comforting as a RL hug...

*having thoroughly enjoyed group earlier today, which quickly turned into a fight*

...you feel compulsed to respond to all of the "Most Overlooked Pages" one day, then unsubscribe the next, and contunue this cycle for more than a year...

...you wish you were a regular in the Café, so you could have been in that group/!

...you remember movie titles as "The Truth About s and s" or "The es of Eastwick" and even "Attack of the Killer s"

Bit late now, but just in reply:
h2g2 isn't a normal method in my house cos we don't have the internet. So it's restricted school-or-family-member-who-haven't-seen-for-five-years-previously-but-now-see-all-the-time-just-to-use-their-computer use. And I've had conversations with people two rooms away through h2g2, instead of just walking down the hall. Really, I'm sure the school librarian is ready to kill me. People non-jokingly say that the school fees are increasing because of the giant Internet bills. And it's my fault!

...you try to deny your addiction to a large group of people who have found you lying in the middle of the floor, quivering and whispering "H...2...G...2", while smothering your computer, all other possessions taken away because you haven't worked for several months and can't pay the bills.

... you actually do have a fish bowl that says, "So long, and thanks for all the fish."

You know you're bound to be addicted when you're a top 5 "Researcher with the Most Postings in 24 Hours". Welcome Jon! 64 posts - not bad!

... you don't try to catch Shea and Orcus at the top of the busiest posters list because you know them too well!

... you seriously think about quitting your job, because you don't have the time to lie in wait to see when Greebo's logged on and therefore only have one tiny point in the third round of the H2IQ Quiz
