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

Choose the force. Choose a side, choose a Jedi knight, choose a teacher, choose a f**king big death star, choose star destroyers, blasters, tie-fighters and a light sabre. Choose a black suit, black helmet and boots. Choose a loan from Jabba the Hut. Choose a philosophy. Choose an Emperor. Choose a planet with matching moon. Choose a three planet system in the Dromoda system and f**king enslave them. Choose the rebels and wondering why the f**k you are kneeling by the Emperor on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting next to that Emperor watching whole planets being enslaved in mind-controlling, force-crushing battles, stuffing f**king replacement parts into your body. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable death star, nothing more than a dictator to the selfish, evil f**ked up brats who fight for you. Choose a future. Choose the force. Choose the dark side.

I chose not to choose the dark side I chose somthing else: who needs the dark side when youv'e got a lightsabre.

I choose not to post the same tired old email 'jokes' to h2g2. I suggest you choose the same. Unless you attribute the source (or you are the source).

I don't know the source, other than e-mail. ok I choose not to do it again. I just thought it funny.

I choose to believe that it was terribly funny. I also choose to say that Agrajag has great taste, and humor, tweaking the Ewan MacGreggor factor. And I choose to divulge the author of the above source...Irvine Welsh, the artist who wrote Trainspotting.

Very funny
Cheers,
Amanda ;P

Hi,
When you're finished with the dark side choose something different -choose "Sokurov": http://www.h2g2.com/U37057.
Peace,

Hmmmm. Given the point of h2g2 is all about research, I wonder if we should put something in the T's & C's concerning attribution - i.e. we allow this sort of post if the poster can show that reasonable effort has been made to determine the original author.

For example, 20th May 1988 is the earliest post I can find on Deja.com - on alt.gothic of all places!

It would be fascinating to track down the original author - especially it was the first time I'd seen this, and thought it was hilarious!

Update:
Look at http://www.h2g2.com/P134812 instead.
