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

Nice One.

I only spotted a single typo - "One h2g2 Researcher reports that both of her dogs are addicted to toads and cannot let them out after dark without supervision"

I think this needs an SHE before cannot.

"I didn't actually know what a billabong was (I gather it's like what we call a backwater or a bayou)" You've never heard Waltzin' Matilda ?

a billabong is a pond or large pool of water, usually out in the middle of nowhere

Well, I mean, sure I've heard Waltzing Matilda - so I know that at least one swagman camped by a billabong - but I never really studied the language in it. Well, perhaps I should - (reads A6035348).

Why, only a dill, or a seppo wouldn't know a billabong from a bush oyster. I must have been opening my lunch while everyone else was studying.

So, anyway - if it's a large pool of water, usually out in the middle of nowhere, then it's what we sandgropers (adapted for western US) call a playa.

Ok, enough yabbing from this piker

What? That thirsty huh?



*waves to SchrEck Inc. in the distance*

Well, not so much that I'm thirsty, but here's the thing - just imagine, just picture in your mind, the condition of the toad traders (toad redeemers?) as the day wears on - into town, back to the bush, into town, back to the bush. Finally, they won't have the wherewithal to tote their bag-o-toads into town for the last round - so at that point they'll give up, give whatever beer remains to the toads and everone - toads and toters alike - will just lie in the road bellies up. .

Oh myI hope Hollywood is taking note and writing a film about this
