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

Waz, if you do that Lammergeyer entry, can I also contribute a bit?

It'd be brilliant if you'd contribute Willem, in fact I think I'm going to do it just for that . So all contributions, from anyone, will be gratefully recieved. EGish or unEGish.

H, how do you pronounce 'Jodan'? I usually pronounce it '*that* sheep'. Ben said mine the way I'd say it, the way you're saying it would be very posh round here . Pin and I had a similar discussion about your name. I went for pat as in patio, he thought pay.

The virus, I'm pretty sure AR1, came from a website. All my email is opened on web email pages, not the pc, so I should've been safe from anything carried that way. It is all sorted now. The pc's just creaking a bit at having firewalls and checkers running in the background.

Your daughter's trip sounds fantastic. I'm . The Okavango...

I don't know how Jodan would pronounce his name - supreme ruler, probably. I think of him as JOEdan. Like Jordan without the 'r'.

After the recent kerfuffle about the correct way to pronounce Hypatia, I'm afraid to even bring it up again.

JOEdan is correct. But in certain Ohioan dialects, it is pronounced 'Pooh-Bah' and 'His Majesty'. In Cleveland, they call me 'The Great One'.

You ended up winning the kerfuffle, didn't you? Hy-pot-ee-uh or whatever it was ended up being a correct way to say it, yes?

I always mentally slip the 'r' in so that Jodan is Jordan, as he rightfully should be But when I think about it, it's definitely JOEdan.

I'm not going to say how I mentally pronounce Hypatia...I'll wait to see what she feels it ought to be and then train myself to it.

Kat - an easy name.

I pronounce Waz like Hyp does, by the way. And you can't make me change!

You can call me Jordan in your heads. I don't care. But if you write the r, I just get confused.

How else would Waz be pronounced? It reminds me of such phrases as
"throwing a wazzy" and "wazzing around"

Just for clarification sake, Spynxxx does not mean that

A- I'm a 'peeping tom' who spys on others doing the nasty

B- Neither am I an adult film star nor a cameraman for such though I do think I missed my true calling. Damn!

C- I do not work for an itelligence orginization

D- the correct answer being The Sphynx, Eygption statue/monument what have you, mysterious, silent and eternal

There, now we're all on the same page

As long as noone slips up and calls me a ringbearer or a hobbit, I'm happy

*glares at the

This means YOU

Why, Frodo, you know I wouldn't ever do that on purpose.

hmm, where's my mint sauce?

Next to the ammonia in the janitor's closet.

*puts on his ring of power* Ah there it is. When am I getting a new light bulb in here?

When you damn well go out and buy one out of your paycheck. You're the one who used the last one all up, aren't you?

"How many hobbits does it take to screw in a lightbulb?"



(my sincere apologies to Waz for hijacking her hijacked thread.)

Paycheck?

You know. The big bag of wool I send you every month. Those will be worth millions someday when I'm President and is the First Sheep, and probably Secretary of Agriculture.

Oh. I've been knitting belly button warmers with that. And what was that about hobbits? *picks his nose* No such thing as a bad hobbit you know. *awaits the canned laughter*

I've never met a Hobbit I didn't like. 'course, I've only met a few hobbits. I think you're my first, in fact, Frodo.
I'd save that wool if I were you. We can't very well use belly button warmers in a Presidential museum, you know.

I'm your first? aww.

Shall I make some scarves then? It's damn chilly in here, although I guess I shouldn't leave the fridge door open.

Scarves, yes.
And make a very lovely one for Waz to apologize for stealing her thread. If you run out of material, you can use some of the hair from your feet, can't you?
