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

Right! Never thought of that!
I'll go and get me one rightaway!

If you find two, mail me one

Sure will! If I can find someone to lick the stamp, that is. They are difficult to attach in mails you see, these Italian waiters (they are a bit slick), so I will have to use snail mail.

I look forward to the postman delivering that parcel I'll start building a hutch... or should you keep waiters in kennels? I'm never sure. I'll let him run around the garden twice a day though so he can get some fresh air and dig a hole

Oh, I don't know really, to me it sounds great, but I've heard that they perform best if you keep them in your bed?

Gee, I'm scratching my head here, 'cause I just can't see how they can perform their tasks running and fetching from there... maybe if the bed's in the kitchen, but that sounds like a weird place for a bed, doesn't it? Maybe they mean a doggiebed?

They'd get the sheets all muddy after they'd been for their run around the garden. Besides, my flat is quite small and I don't want a man getting in the way all the time. He can sit in the bathtub until I call him for some light refreshments while I'm h2g2-ing. A doggiebed in the kitchen seems like a good place for him to stay at night. Then if I wake in the night he's close to the kettle to make me a hot drink

Yeah, that's what I figured too, that you have them stay in the kitchen on a doggiebed close to everything. But I was wondering - how do you do if you live on the 5th floor and there's no balkony or even elevator? You'd have to leave the 'puter for a long time then to let the waiter out for a walk, and then we're really back to square one here, aren't we? Maybe they're not so good after all those Italians?

Yo, everybody! I've found *the* top solution! Peanuts! Bought a 1 kg bag the other day, and it kept me sustained the whole day! And with a thermos of coffee handy there was no need to rise from the chair and go into the kitchen at all!

what about peanut M&Ms? those are good

I should have thought about that!

this is almost related...
i remember once i had to study for the Geography final exam, and i barley knew any of it, and was also very tired, and i spent the few hours before class studying with a Coke and some peanut M&Ms and did great on it... i maintain that it was the caffiene.

Coke is good for *everything* (except teeth...)

Maybe one should have a vending machine beside the computer? One of them rental ones that they come and fill up once a week?

*chuckles*

Peanuts Thanks for the suggestion but I have a nut allergy. I like the vending machine idea though.

Raisins works well too, I discovered today (ran out of peanuts)...

i use goo for those of you that do as well this is a reply to first post
