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

Well, here I am to explain those rather cryptic comments...

I have (with his permission) been nagging Ottox to remind him to take better care of himself, ie sleeping, eating, etc... A little bit ago, he asked me to hold off for awhile. Since I already knew that tomorrow was going to be extra hard for him, I was going to anyway... (If Ottox emailed you Monday, that starts on Thursday. If he hasn't, and he told me this offline, I don't think I should say more on the subject.) If you want to see where I've been nagging him, it's the 'Hi Ottox < hug >' (without the spaces) thread on his space...

Does that help any?

Helps alot, and though he didn't e-mail me i think I understand and ir REALLY hope I don't...

Now I am sad because I think I do understands.




Dancer

Um, since you emphasized the really so strongly, you may be mistaken... *agonizes* OK 1 hint...see the picture he put on his space

Happy that youre calming me dows, will stop prying now...


Dancer

Perfectly understandable, you should see how I reacted when I saw what Ottox had done with his space after removing the candles... (Simular to what it's like now, but without the picture... And this was just after he'd started '1136'...)

I'm glad I managed to slow down your panic...

Yup, I saw this... My reaction was the "hmmmmm Black" thread


Dancer

Then, IIRC, you reacted better than I did...

Well, it was actually a referance to the begginning of the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy... "mmmm Yellow" which is a sleepy reaction to Arthur's house being taken down, it is not a moderate reaction, just subtle


Dancer

Having read the book several times, I really should have caught the reference...

Well, I kind of plawed the book (is this used in english, it is a translation of a hebrew phrase. It means I went through it back and forth a LOT of times. Through them all actually, including "Dirk Gentley's holystic detective agency". Still have to read "A long dark teatime of the soul").


Dancer

I don't think 'plawed' is used, but I can't for the life of me think of a single word that conveys the meaning of 'read the book back to front several times'... I guess you could say you memorized the book, though...

Having a memmory as bad as mine, I refraing from saying anything about memorising stuff

It is a nice book, and after the first couple of times, can be just opened anywhere instead of read the good old way. I sometimes like to just open at some random page (I have the edition that contains all H2G2 books together) and read a chapter or 2.


Dacer (knows the wazard is out of place, but likes it where it is)

I didn't get that reference either...

Dancer--It struck me this morning, as I was getting ready to hop in the shower, that the word you may have been looking for was 'plowed', not 'plawed'...And, yes, you could say you plowed through the book... (Better late than never...)

thanks.

*scared to ask* So what does plawed mean?


Dancer

Never heard the word...

I hoped it was something about Paws, cat paws preferably


Dancer

Not so far as I know... Maybe you have an all new word, and so it can mean whatever you want it to...

Just thought I'd say 'Hi'... And leave a mufflewhump...

Thanks

You can have a mufflewhump from me in return

Are you all flat and well?
