Alright, so you've made it this far. What are you here for, milk and cookies?
Oh. It's you. Should I be impressed? Am I to stand smartly at attention and clap happily at the fact you've mastered the intricacies of the mouse button click?
Yes, well, I can imagine that for someone of your limited intellect, it IS a bit of an arse-kicker, but really.. Oh, very well, here, take a fiver and go out to the corner store, fetch us some coffee. That's a good lad (or lass, as the situation warrants).
At any rate, here is my miniscule corner of the Megadodo Publications Earth annex, lovingly fumigated once a week by some underpaid biologist-in-training. Let me dust off the chair and move these papers and... there. Please, sit down, let me tell you about myself.
When I was once a youngster like you, I embarked on a terrific journey of self-realization, with hopes of going far across the galaxy.

(Seriously, the VERY abridged, and slightly-more-believeable version: I first discovered the Guide in my hometown library, and since then, I've been trying - albeit somewhat in vain - to find a complete run of DNA's works and different editions of the Guide. Somewhere along the way, I joined the Navy, saw most of the world, met my future wife, and developed a slight belly. Time is truly a killer.
