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

Uh, Fenchurch, why does 'Strange Brew' appear twice...?

What happened to the rest...?

Uhh... 'cos with beer, you can never have just one? I dunno. I haven't touched that page in months. I will when I'm through with the paper I'm trying to avoid.

Ni! *waves*.... Hello there... spotted you online, so I thought I'd come and say hi.

Well hello! Been a while!

And if this is a repeat, blame my ISP! Egads!

Hi there!

It has...

repeat? No.. first time viewing for me. But I don't get cable, so I get everything year after everyone else.

ISP? Why? What have they done?

No cable?!

I had to post twice, because my ISP dropped me. So I was just acknowledging the possibility of a double post, thus avoiding the drop from 'comic absentmindedness' to 'complete idiocy'.

No, no cable, They don't do our area. We can't get digital TV either, because we already have too many phone lines with things plugged in, and we can't plug the digital box thingummy into the phone.

You did? Oh... I see. That happens to me frequently. My usual line of action is to ring them up and irately complain. Instances of me being dropped have almost completely disappeared.



Art thou never on ICQ?

Well don't worry, you're not missing much. Just a few Discovery channels and the random KPBS special.

No, not recently, not less than recently... . And not now, because I'm leaving for work in about five minutes...

Really? Oh that's good.. I'll be able to slep at nights now, safe in that knowledge.

Ohh... ... any chance of you being on it?

Oh, ok... in which case you're at work when this message hits the h2g2 server..

On what - the KPBS specials? Of course! I'm in the credits under the name "Viewers Like You"...

uhhh! *gobsmacked*.. I've met someone who's been in the credits list for... well... anything... wowww! *in awe*

*stands aghast* You're STILL HERE? Granted, I wasn't at work for very long... apparently ice skating isn't the biggest Easter thing to do

Yup, still here. I'm here 24/7, connected via umbilical cord to the net. .... (been here since 9 in the morning... and it's now... 00:04 in the morning. Load up ICQ!!

ice skating? cool!

Your umbilical cord isn't showing up on my ICQ...

... yes, sorry about that. Shortly after I said go on ICQ, ICQ and AIM died, and I spent 10 minutes not being able to get either to reconnect. So I stopped bothering, and just went to bed.
