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

Hi there Cap'n ... replying to your recent posting on The Bridge ... If you read the Cabin42 postings about orders & suggestions through the eyes of an American crew member, you might understand why your Lookout has unsubscribed from the ship's conversations ...

ah and here i was thinking it had something to do with the in !

ho-hum, yes, well, i see

any ideas about how to solve this?

I suggest an in-character appearance by the Cap'n on the Lookout's page ... an invitation to return to the Nest could be all that's needed.

i have called her on the direct line, so to speak

::crosses fingers, toes, eyes and whatnot::

Looks like it worked. Well done, Cap'n!

thank you

but of course, speaking to an intelligent person like her it was just a piece of

or *peace* of , maybe?

Yes, very diplomatic!!!

ha, what would you know about it?

you wouldn't be able to recognize diplomatic if it bit you in the thigh

*Runs out disgraced and insulted*!!!

::runs after the admiral to bite her in the th.... - er - to appologize::

Ouch , I hate it when people bite my apology!!!

::runs home to get a bite of something else::

::runs back and finds the admiral gone::

oh,

::runs out again::

*walks in with two goons, both bold and speachless*

Would they be Neddie & Eccles?

::runs in again::

listen, i'm getting ing tired in this here leg of mine - and it aint doing me wooden leg any good either. so i'll just sit in this here rocker and have me an or two while you introduce me to these fine gentlemen and state their and yours business, admiral

care to join me, navigator?

Take back that insult about me not being diplomatic, or I'll get Bill and Ben here to punch you in the face and break your remaining leg off!!!

now *that* was *very* diplomatic! i'm thoroughly impressed!

Yes, you see diplomacy is all about compromise!!!
