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

Who the hell is Della and why am I asking? I thought Della was dead, in bed, with Janis. Imagine hearing her voiceover while reminiscing about the Fugs! It's frighteningly familiar.

And for chrissake people! Michael Caine isn't an actor, he's manniquin. You can tell by the way his glasses fit his nose perfectly. I'm surprised this obvious clue wasn't detected previously. Where's Sherlock when you need him? Elementary my dear Loren Watson, bless u soul bro!

She's cute that's Della.
That's why you asking...
Your right about Caine. Never spotted it, he's so reveered in the UK, I must be brainwashed...it's all the awards he's won.
regards Oetz

I thought Della was an NZ researcher.

*waves* Hi Della, wherever you are.

Could be on Alpa Cent or next door, but I believe you are correct.
She keeps funny hours..that's certain
Oetz

The problem Oetzi, old chap, is I'm on t'other side of the from you. Can't help it!

"waves back at Trillian's child". I *am* a NZ researcher, which is why poor Oetz has to bemoan my absence...
It's sad really.
I *like* Michael Caine, though he is elderly. He was a laugh a minute on the Dave Letterman show, talking about the 'George Foreman stove.'

s at the title.

The joke's a little close to your real name, don't ya think?

Your too sharp for me woman but that's why I like ya!
Oetz

Regrettably, I don't watch TV, Della, so I missed the elderly bloke's wit or wisdom concerning the Boxer Stove.

NZ researcher, huh? NZ? That would be something like an LZ perhaps? Or maybe a DMZ? Or perhaps that archipelago umteen thousands of miles east of Australia as the albatross flies where the sheep outnumber the humans 16 to one?

Hey humans! You need to catch up. You're losing the evolutionary race ok? Darwin would be appalled. With that sort of breeding rate discrepancy, your parliament will soon be full of sheep elected by a constituency with a refined herd instinct.

Oh, sorry, I might have been too late with my warning. Out of hemisphere, out of mind as they say. But who precisely are THEY? I need to ponder that I fear.

So carry on, don't mind me. I'm just pondering at the moment, deep thoughts and such, which are rather difficult to ponder with a shallow mind, but I'll muddle through somehow I'm sure.

Open house mate, please, stay awhile. Della usually turns up at 23:00GMT so you'll have to be patient.
Oetz

Might as aswell uncloak bother your on the screen!

There's only 4 million people here, so it's not difficult to out number us.

Never fear, we're importing Chinese.

Sorry, I thought I'd been shanghaied by a submarine for a minute. Started to blow the ballast tanks and where should I surface but here of all places.

Importing Chinese aye? Well, have you considered manufacturing them locally under license to avoid the tariffs?

I hadn't thought of that... Te he he...Bare naked ladies.

An increasing number are manufactured locally, judging by the prams in shopping malls.
NZ, the land where men are men and sheep are worried, *was* I believe, the slogan. Our national bird is the kiwi, but I prefer the honk-whistle-beep bird outside our house. (Apparition, any idea what like it is? That's a *really* funny noise!
Oetzi, I dropped by, at (hang on a tic, my watch battery's dead, let me get my pocket Pikachu...) 0014 GMT.

Says it all.
Della I can't work out this time thing, would you mind darling, just well, teaching me, no not that darling....the time thing please.

the common misconception is that frogs make a "RIBBIT" sound. Guess who we have to thank for this? Hollywood!!
The only type of frog that actually makes a "ribbit" sound are the ones that inhabit the surrounding area of Hollywood and lazy sound recordists and effects men couldnt be bothered to go any further, thus through many years of US blockbusters we have only heard frogs go "ribbit" and not "kwa-kwa", "brrrrrrriiiii", "waarp waarp" or "broap"

Never been into that stuff.
Oetz

Never been into it either. Knew some people in Georgia a few years back who liked to lick frogs to get high. They had to lick them of course because they couldn't keep them lit.
