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

Welcome back Wooly Mammoth. if you like snow, I have a four-day blizzard I'd like to offer you.

I wouldn't mind a bit of your blizzard so I could build my GGchildren a snowman, could you post it down to Cornwall for me

Boston has melted 6,000 truckloads' worth of snow since Saturday. They did this because there was no room to put the snow that keeps falling. We qualified as he tenth snowiest winter on record, and the snowiest 30-day period. There's two feet of snow on the overhang over my front door. I have a long-handled rake, and have already pulled some snow off it, but more snow keeps falling.

Should we mention the elephant in the room?

Sounds like a good idea. Elephants have feelings, too, and like to be noticed.

I don't like elephants they have squinty mean eyes

I don't think Dumbo was that way. He was as cute as a button.

Do you like rats? Kermit the Frog says they have long, icky tales.

How very strange; it's been around about 9 years since I last took part in h2g2 and I felt an impulse to look it up just a few days ago.

Has there been some subliminal marketing (pretty sure such things have been proven not to work now - perhaps a sub-ether direct-to-brain communication?) campaign going on this year?

No, nothing like that .

Well, if there is such a campaign, it's

Of all the voices in my head, I don't think hootoo was one of them - but perhaps they were using an SEP field

JT

I'm back but under a different name'cos I lost my pass words and stuff

What's in a name?

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Except for those modern flowers that are bred to hardly smell at all.

Who were you?

JT

I was once a master of the universe.

Then the universe found out about this and complained about my lack of qualifications. :/

Do you remember Evilclaw, whose avatar was an orange tiger cat?

Don't think we ever exchanged scents

JT

I was kasdog!

I remember you. There was a war between the dogs and the cats about 12 years ago. Were you here during that?

Very strange, Stilvoid and JT both back after about 9 years.

Is there something in common to account for the synchronicity?

What's the first thing that comes to mind from 9 years ago?

BBC Autocrats and lawyers.
And off-site part-time moderation by interns who had never heard of DNA, irony or common sense.
And people saying "Wazzup!"

~jwf~

Let's not hold the irony and common sense thing against them. Understanding irony in a non-ironic age is itself ironic. Common sense is uncommon, too.
