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

Hello Blue and welcome I'm Babel-17 (or B-17 for short), just thought I would drop in and say 'Hi' and give you a few links to interesting things. Enjoy!
Feel free to browse around and post in any forums you find
interesting.

There is much to see and do on h2g2 so here are a few links
to get you going:
The ACE's (Assistant Comunity Editors) reside here:
http://www.h2g2.com/A214796
They are normally the meeter-greeters around here, I have
just been made one, so bear with me

There is a newcomers page here: http://www.h2g2.com/A5752
Full of good info.

If in doubt, just ask. Feel free to drop a line to one of
the ACE's, or myself and we will try to answer any queries
you might have.(just click on a name in a forum or article
and it will take you to their homepage then just click the
'Discuss' button and leave a message)

Also if you fancy a coffee and a chat, drop in to
The Aroma Cafe:http://www.h2g2.com/A202924

The main thing is to have fun!Oh and have a fish

Also If you click on the HG logo top left of page, it will
take you to the main page, with many a link on it!
Have fun,
B-17

Hey. BEsides doing what B-17 says you can just float around. (I got to...) any whos. welcomes.

Tis true.
You can do that aswell. Or lurk. That's fun too

just lurk eh?


*lurks around*

*hums the mission impossible theme*

(I would tell ya that this is fun, but I'm lurking, and I can't blow my cover!)

Nice! (Oops,who said that? )

*continues lurking*

*Pauses*

(I didn't hear anything)

* Finds suspicous looking sunglasses, puts them on and continues lurking*

*finds a convenient shop door way, shrouded in shadow.
Stands just in the shadow and smokes a cigarette. He watches the coming and going. All that can be seen of the lurker is the occassional glow from the cigarette end as a puff is taken*
(not that i condone smoking, it just always happens that way in old movies )

(Someone else here is lurking..)

*Drops the lurking part*

*Darts around suspicously*

*Finds the lurker..*

Alright tihs is the DAS! Throw your cigerette on the ground and step away!

*Coughs and waves away the smoke.* I say, would you mind terribly quitting trying to wrap me around you? I'm NOT a cloak, wrap or stole, I'm a...well...a shadow and most definitely not a garment.

Oh yes, I almost forgot. Welcome to H2G2 here are a few links you might find handy if you intend on writting a Guide entry or two.

Welcome again.

Not that I'm hinting that you should do any writing or anything. Not at all. But just in case you have the urge...

And here I thought we were all waiting around (lurking, darting, whats the diff?) for BlueSax to come around...

Ah yes writting, the stuff you do in between lurking
Where is BlueSax anyway, have we scared him off do you think?

As strange as it may seem, some people actually are NOT addicted to H2G2 and have lives outside of and away from it that preclude them from coming every day. Not that I'm one of them mind you, but Blue might.

Yes, but how long will it tka ehim to end up loke us?

OK. Typing properly, that should have read: How long will it take him to end up like us? (or her?)

The politically correct way of saying it would be, "How long will it take THEM to end up like us?" BUT, as I hate political correctness I'll say, It varies with each individual. I've noticed that women generally tend to get hooked more quickly and easily when it comes to stuff like this than what men generally do. Of course, age is also a factor, the older one is, the less likely they are to spend their time yapping on a computer. But mainly it depends on how chatty the person is and/or how opinionated they are and/or how lonely they are and/or whether they enjoy reaching out and communicating with new people. I myself qualify for three of the four at the moment. I jibber-jabber like there's no tomorrow and it takes a miracle to change my mind about something I have an opinion on. Mainly because I've researched the topics and speak from fact, not suppositions for the most part. Naturally being an ACE, I enjoy meeting new people immensely. That about cover it?
~S

So your not opinionated then?
Only joking.
Actually, nuff said really.

Oh? Why did this Nuff person say, "really" and what does that have to do with our prior conversation?
