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

Yeah we were asked if we were buying birthday cards for our grandchildren at a store a few years ago. *sigh*

People have so much nerve. I would never dream of saying something like that to anyone who was not obviously over the age of 70. Just like I would never dream of asking a woman when she was due - even if she was quite unmistakably pregnant.

(Although I'll ready admit that I know grandparents my age and I know I could easily pass for pregnant whenever I wanted to)

Well I could pass for pregnant... providing I shave my beard off anyhow

Mr b could too. Last year before I had the baby my sister threw *him* a shower instead of me

It was the only baby shower I've ever been to with a 'guess the beer' game instead of 'guess the baby food' (I didn't get to play).

"we were asked if we were buying birthday cards
for our grandchildren at a store a few years ago. *sigh*"

You could have turned the tables and said the cards were
for your grandparents.

I wanna see a closed thread!

And I want Ottox!

"Traveller in time not curious anymore"

I'm curious as to why you aren't curious any more.

I'm curious as to where a closed thread is!

And I miss Ottox!

I miss Ottox, too.

And I can't figure out how it is possible for us all to be p[osting in a thread that has been closed.


It makes me feel naughty to be posting here .

Is he still contactable out-of-h2g2, has anybody tried the scary contact details on his page?

*closes thread*

*Re-opens thread*

I think we should not rush to close this thread. It has some special memories for me, and I would like to remember them all. Yes, to remember my memories.....

Traveller in Time seeing threads closed all the time
"On the message boards that is.

For some closed threads on HooToo you should have a look at the announcements, they are closed after the initial message. "

I'll take a look, thanks...

*throws at thread*

Where's Ottox?

I dunno, but he has eyes.

He is probably rolling them.

I just want to say this about that, or maybe that about this, unless the that has become the this when I wasn't looking, namely that Red Dog's "Nothing at all" thread has been kept alive for years by mischievous researchers even though Red Dog wanted the thread to die a quick and painful death, which didn't happen because of those researchers, so if any of you want to keep *this* thread alive against all odds (and obviously against all common or uncommon sense), then please know that I and my friends have developed skills which be useful for prolonging the agony of this thread, and for keeping it alive indefinitely.

Any questions?

That's a very useful skill!

It leaves me tuckered out usually, though

Wake up! *plays brief trumpet solo*
