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

 Today I met Infinity Beeblebrox. Nice girl, but why does everyone claim they are either: Ford Prefect
Ford Prefect's girlfriend
Zaphod Beeblebrox (daddy!) or
Zaphod Beeblebrox's girlfriend

Saying you are someone's close blood relative is OK, even if you claim you are Arthur Dent's kid, but this is just getting ridiculous (speak for myself, hey?)


Zaphara Beeblebrox

O.K, so 'Obscurator is just a cover up.(There's a pun in there)
I am Arthur's Daughter, but with Fenchurch as my mother.
I don't know what happened to her, *sob*, but she left me a few things in my escape pod.
Sigh.
I've been trying to remember, but all things before the age of 4 are blocked.
My feet rest 5mm off the ground, and I wonder why the dolphins returned.
my name is Artretia Dent.
well...

Um, have you met Precise Dent yet? Or Stone Prefect? I thought being someone's kid was an original idea............. oh well.

Zaphara

O.K, the idea is that I,m an Earthling, rather stranded and alone, who is going to be evicted, by the looks of it.
THIS IS ALL IF ZACHSMIND, ECT. DON,T OBJECT.
I try to use my 'psychic' anti-S.E.P. to find some-one any one who knows about my parentage.
I keep getting an ingaged tone/hung up on.
I don't know who from, and siblings are a faint psychic impression, but I don't know 'em.
That's the plan, it's gotta be approved, though.

I guess we call ourselves zb, since we kinda like to respect DNA.

Both of my names' initials are ZB, which is why I am who I am.

And I 'm just called zb 'cos I plagerised the name of hhgttg. I really really wanted to call our child Zaphod, but my wife insisted on being sensible. Where's the fun in that?

There isn't any fun in that.
I want to know where the fun went, so I can follow it, though.

When you find it... let me know!

When I have a kid, if it's a boy I'll call it Ford (this is not real life here, OK, it's the Earth thing)

Wouldn't Ford be OK for a girl's name too?
She'd be all mysterious.

Well, Ford Dent just wouldn't work! Would I take he/she to the doctors or the car panellers?
