I remember one Christmas spending the whole day looking for the tv remote along with the rest of the family. We weren't impressed when we found my father had gone down to the pub and put the remote in his coat pocket... The remote wouldn't have worked THAT remotely and in anycase, you can't see out television from the pub.

How can you be sure? With the aid of hyperbinoptic binoculars, he might have been able to change the channels AND see the TV screen

Well, what he didn't have with him was his glasses...

Doug Dastardly Posted May 15, 1999
No, and I'm fairly sure that even if he did, he wouldn't have been able to see through walls...

OK, so he wouldn't, but if your dad's name is Clark Kent...

Hehe, well as much as I'd love to have a superhero as a parent (just think how useful it would be in those playground "my dad'll beat up your dad" style arguments) I'm pretty sure he's not. He never gets changed in public phone boxes, and never wears his underpants on the top of his tights - not that he wears tights...

But, whenever trouble calls, he's always missing. And that Lois Lane...

When trouble calls, he's always trying to work out a way to blame someone else!

"YOU did it!"
"No, YOU did it!"
"No, YOU!"
"No, YOU!"
ad nausem

Whatever it is we're passing the blame for... you see this is how the whole thing works. Everyone argues with each other about who's fault it was until nobody can remember what it was in the first place and comes to the conclusion that if they can't remember, it can't have been important.

How incredibly stupid.
Hey, isn't all this switching back and forth fun?

Doug Dastardly Posted May 16, 1999
I got bored with all the switching back and forth and have got multiple windows open! Is it just you and me on here or what? And have you found any easy way of getting people to come and visit your personal entries?

No... but if a page becomes an Ofiical Guide Entry, the odds are good that more traffic will be generated. After all, it IS the Hitchhiker's Guide...

Doug Dastardly Posted May 16, 1999
Well yes of course. I can see what you're saying... methink's we've wandered sightly from the topic... or did someone find the remote and change channel when we weren't looking. I hate it when that happens...
