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

Eeww! I'm getting my scuba gear out! This is really getting deep!
As I've said, the answer-if it ever does arrive-will be far past our time! It's also occured to me. In the days of yesteryear many PEOPLE were driven by madness...some from bad food or STD's...medicine being what it was. I think that MUST have had much to do with 'some' violence! And lets not leave out religious beliefs! Sheesh, to have a dollar for everyone who's died in the name of God!?? (Yes I know there's violence in the Bible...least we forget, it was re-written by monks...even changing ONE word could change an entire meaning! That's why Bible thumpers crack me up! Who knows What Jesus said? Anybody still here who spoke with him?)
There's a tribe of natives off the East Coast of Africa (sorry-don't remember the name...but was part of my studies in college) The women rule (I always wanted to live there!), they stay home tending the babes & taking care of politics & the men adorn themselves (even to this day) & wear oils, gather food etc.! Now if a man mistreats a woman...she declares that he is a 'bad man' and is then divorced & sent away from the Village to fend for himself! I think that in and of itself would be quite enough to keep a man's raging anger in check. If a woman is a 'bad woman', as decided by the other women, she must live alone on the edge of the Village & never be spoken to. For some? reson this type of system has worked for hundreds of years...get this folks...they have never had a war! I guess my point still remains. The way the World is, WE will never know the answer...but it is interesting to hash it over...who knows, maybe this type of conversation is just what's needed to fuel a change! PEACE all around! ~Pan

Gooday Pete,

I did like the rope joke; nice one. Fair dinkum means something or someone is genuine, true, the real thing. Can also be expressed as dinky di, or true blue. Lovely expressions, part of the Oz heritage but not heard as much nowadays as language tends to become more 'internationalised' (or Americanised). I think philandering cads are fine, and so obviously do Pandora, who is ultra true blue, and Moondancer who could flirt for Australia.

Walter.

Well, now, that's interesting. So, are you saying I'm a fake and a fraud by contrast to you fair dinkum types? If so, I take offense. I may be a cad, but I'm a genuine cad... and a real genuine person with affection, too.

True blue is something different. Here it means loyal and faithful. If that means being exclusively with one woman to the exclusion of all others, I'm not. If it means always being there for someone when they need friendship or love, I am.

Pan, are you saying it takes a village? The place you describe sounds like an old neighborhood of mine.

I kinda have to disagree with you, too, Pan, on the evolutionary thing... I don't really see that we've made a lot of progress over the last 10,000 years in terms of interpersonal or intertribal relationships, except in the details of etiquette or protocol. I think we're it as far as relationships go. So... let's have one, ok?

Gooday Pete,

Never doubted for one moment that you were a dinky di philandering cad. And true blue. The only person on this thread who is a fraud or a fake is probably me.

Walter.

'Morning Walter
'Morning Pete

My sons girlfriend use to have a sign on the back of her car
"Good girls go to heaven Bad girls go everywhere else"
Well I want to go every where else .

To quote a very astute lady "Bad boys are yummy" so anyone else is welcome to come with me.
Moreover, Walter don't you bother to tell me about who I flirt with. How can I win the flirt Limpics if I don't practice. And you get in for your fair share of practice.
You are only a fake or a fraud if you believe your self to be and I am sure you do not believe that.

Moondancer

"Hello all
Pete I think we are having a relationship. I've invited you to be my love at the Villa (virtual as it is). As for meeting you...to have sex with you...I really don't think I'd ever have the nerve. I don't sleep around. I don't mean to say that sex isn't grand...it is. But what you're wanting is a bit too cheap for me! Sorry luv. Why waist your time chasing me, when you could find some willing gal in this area? I know that many people go on line just to find lovers. But I
came on line to write & argue, something that I really have nobody to do that with. Even though I'm married...he refuses to fight & is aloof to most of life...so. I have found love through friendships. I was about to divorce him when you & I met. But I'm giving him one last chance. I would never cheat on him, at least without his permission. BTW he knows about you, & it dosen't bother him in the least. I think he wouldn't care if I did meet you!
But I don't think that's anyway for a gal to behave...didn't really mean to tease, as I said we were about to scrap the vows. So, I hope you'll forgive me for taking up your time. The offer of a virtual fling is still open...I'm wanting a boyfriend for the Villa, as Pandora is becoming tired of having her bottom pinched! But if you don't want to play, so be it. I'm quite sure the next time you're in this area you'll do just fine picking up a willing lady. You're smooth...real smooth. I'm not one for seeing a fellow a couple times a year for a fling. I have men coming around all the time & I haven't been unfaithful yet. Why start now? Maybe Moondancer would be more to your liking?"
"Moondancer, the sign you wrote of reminded me of one I had in my 1st apt. it read: SEX IS ONLY DIRTY IF YOU'RE DOING IT RIGHT!
Love & Hugs all around XOX ~Pan

Well just to any you I spent the weekend With Galaxy Babe and it was great

Gooday St Bob,

Shame on you. A gentleman doesn't tell!!

Walter.

Moondancer is totaly virtual

"Guess that makes two of us"

So does that make us a couple of teases


I would like to start a streem of conversation how do I do that?

Moondancer

well that all depends on who tarted th boasting first I supose. I mean comperd to some of thethings she has written that is tame. the only problem with the whole thing is that there is to much distance batween us
Iwish we lived closer together. oh well I am going back for a week or two shortly so it does not mattter

"Hi Moondancer! Just go to your left & scroll down to where it says 'new conversations'...or what I do is start a new entry from my Home Space! Good luck!" ~Pan

Thanks Pandora,

I have worked it out and already started it on favourite words

"You're quite welcome...never can tell who might pop up on your thread!"

Hi Pan, honey It's the thrill of the chase! I love it when you play hard-to-get! I love Moondancer, too, but she's just too far away.

Cheap? Cheap is having sex with someone who isn't a friend. We could dress up and go out and make it all more expensive if it'd make you feel more comfortable.

I really didn't come here to find a lover but, hey! Lovers are where you find 'em!

Don't worry about taking up my time. I don't consider chatting with you all a waste of time. And I know you're not a tease, so don't worry about that either.

As to "why start now?" If we just met, I think you'd know the answer to that.

Besides all of that, did I say anything about sex in all my postings about meeting you? Well, don't look for it, I hate when someone uses my own words against me!

I just like women and I like to flirt. Don't worry about it being too serious... it's just fun

As for signs, some of the girls at the Y belong to track teams and they wear shirts that say, "Fast girls have good times!" I like that one.

And, I'd be delighted to be your boyfriend... but that won't stop your butt from getting pinched... just maybe by the general population, is all

I think you're interesting and I would enjoy your company. As far as arguing, I'm a lover, not a fighter. But I'm a pretty fair debater too.

So there!

And Bob... Way to go!!! Woo Hoo!

Thank you we enjoyed our selves emensly. so much infct I am going back for a week or tw soon

Hi Pete,

I'm sooo disappointed, I was looking forward to a long distance affair with you.
I love a man who can flirt as outrageously as I can, and no telling what hight of the ridiculous we could reach.


Moondancer

*Pandora dons her cat suit*
"Hello Moondancer. So sorry Pete would rather have youth & beauty instead of...Aussie winks!"
"Okay Pete, I wouldn't use your own words against you. In fact I'm trying VERY hard not to hold ANYTHING against you!"

Good Morning Pandora,

How are you today.
I am not worried about Pete, I was just flirting with him . I 'm sure he doesn’t have any trouble finding ladies to flirt with either.
I only need people who will love me, as I am, too late to change me now.

Moondancer
