Sorting you out?

The God Pigeon

Hello Charlie the Zebra. One quick question before I start. Are you human, zebra, or a human zebra?
Anyway my name is Dirk Gently(ACE) and at h2g2 ACEs (Assistant Community Editor) meet, greet, sort out (which I'm still doing with you), and help the newer people here at the Guide. Just because I haven't sorted you out yet doesn't mean I'm not doing my job, it just means that you have confused me. smiley - winkeye Well here are some webpages the may come in handy while around here at the Guide: The Newcomer's Welcome Page http://www.h2g2.com/Welcome-Newcomers, the New Tour of H2G2 http://www.h2g2.com/DontPanic-Tour , the ACEs' Homepage http://www.h2g2.com/Aces , and final my homepage http://www.h2g2.com/U109483. Feel free to ask me or one of the other ACEs around if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Dirk Gently

All around nice guy

Yes, scary human zebra that can change forms. Sometimes I turn blue. It's kinda like that song. Ze-ba-ze-ba-ze-ba-ze-ba-ze-ba chameleon.

Sorry for the posting delay ... took a week's holiday. Avoided my fellow zebras as much as possible.

There are more of you? *getting REALLY scared now* So let's recap, you are a human zebra that changes forms, and colours, and there are more than one. Is that right?

Yes, there are plenty of us.

In the spring, many of us change to blue, reverting to traditional zebra striping come autumn. When those of us who turn blue are indeed blue, the proper form of address to one of us is "Hey, Blue!"

I have even observed this in winter; one time, a fellow chameleon zebra drew the following in January: "Aw, c'mon, Blue!" Seems the zebra had made a particularly foul observation.

In depth. We are studied, scrutinized, looked at every which way. The life of a chameleon zebra is not an easy one. But we take pride in doing what we do and doing it well.

Cool, doesn't that get annoying after awhile though?

Only when folks try to study us too closely. Hey, we zebras have our private lives, too!
