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

Thanks for clearing that up...usually your incomprehensible references are secret clues leading to something interesting on Google...like lambananas...

The name anhinga comes from the Brazilian Tupi language and means devil-bird or snake-bird.

I had to remake the anhinga video because Pennsylvania would not understand that anhingas are not cormorants...I added 30 seconds in the nest to the video and picked a new soundtrack...Thanks for the tip on finding free audio files without Copywrite issues.

Glad the audio link helped. Also: you know that you can go back and change titles and descriptions on your videos at any time?

I didn't know...thanks.

There's a lot that you *can* do if you know how.

mvp! Hullo to you! What have you been up to? Hope you and your family are keeping well.



Ah, right, interesting, about the Pininanas, and the Canary Islands. We were saying they remind us of the plants we used to see on the patches of wasteland in Tenerife. I used to love that wasteland, all lizard, rock and cactus, herbs and heatshimmer. How clever and inconnected we are. . In our dreams.

Uh oh .. an orange splorange lozenge poem to match Mister D's Wyatt Earp'll purp'll, Phreddy's burple. It's been all go around here.

heheh. Love it. Gorringe!! There's a auction house in Lewes called Gorringes! My Dad knew them. They sold some of the things from my parents home.
Oranges from Gorringes! Although I don't think auctioneers branch out into fruit and veg.

A punnet of strawberries here, , do I hear fifty pence? Any advance on .. oh, sixty pence from the gentleman over here, any advance on ... (half an hour later). Going going gone for one pound seventy five pence ..

I'll take the strawberries, but you can keep the straw.

Ah, splendid! Will follow up the Lah Zhung aspect. This is all very interesting.

Oh, I found my sepia/reddish brown willow pattern china, on Google images! So they exist! My memory served me well.

How come the willow pattern sometimes is sepia/reddish brown?

And whose is that black and white lightning picture in the Post Editorial??? Is it FWR's? How can anyone take a photo like that and still be a basic mortal? I promote them to De Luxe Immortal, and will bring them a gift of rose petals in a Lah Zhung bowl. Or maybe cupcakes on a sepia willow pattern plate .

OK what am I bid for this punnet of strawberries without the straw?

Forty pence? Come on people, these are a rare treat, strawberries with no straw that taste like strawberries except they have no straw..

I have some nice Willow Rosa, which is probably what you mean. it's basically somewhere between pink and maroon.

Oh, maybe it is more like pink/maroon. Willow Rosa!! OK thanks paul, will check that.

Mere mortals bow before my bloodied sword!

That sounds very deep and knowledgeable .. Because Pennsylvania ..

Because Pennsylvania, said just like that, two words. I shall say it, and look knowing.

Oh, it is FWR's picture. How can he do that?? Express the soul of lightning so perfectly like that? I knew he was a De Luxe Immortal, damn, now I'll go find some cupcakes to offer him. heheh.

Not sure I told you this before. Blame midsummer brain if I did...

Robbie Stamp saw that picture yesterday, and expressed extreme awe.

The Vogon Civil Service on Twitter liked it, too. They said: 'That's just what it first looks like when the demolition beams hit a planet. Beautiful.'

As you can seei n this link, the color varies quite a bit

Mrs Hoggett has some in brown, but I won't swear it's exactly the same pattern.

Punnet...never seen that word before in my life, Sherriff.

I was visualizing a woven wicker square container with an open top. The internet picture is a clear plastic square container and lid like the ones that strawberries come in...keep fruit from bruising...somewhat standard size...punnet...punnet...rhymes with?

Uh oh ... The De Luxe Immortal has returned from inside the soul of lightning..this could get mythological.

Oh yes! Midsummer! Solstice Brain!

Fine information, and well deserved! Well, the awe bit, as for the Vogon Civil Service, well ..
