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

[Quoth the Murkrow] I'm in the hallway! I just came out of ... er, someone's room, I dunno, I forget.

I'm around, sipping a martini whilst we wait for Lord Reflection's return.

BBW, NYC, and myself are all in the maze (if it were the actual maze from Zork One, we would be in the Cyclops Room), and are waiting to see if giving the sack of coins to someone gets any effect.

Um, yeah. That's right. The maze is in NYC's room. We were performing a room-by-room search and got to NYC's room and found the maze.

I had a message from Lord R and he expects to be back any time now.

Good. We need this plot to advance soon.

[Quoth the Murkrow] Well I hope to Floyd that he gets here soon! I'm beginning to molt with impatience!

I ain't here

Anyone up for a sing-along while we wait?

Okay, I'll start.


One bottle of beer on the wall,
One bottle of beer.
Take one down and pass it around,
Zero bottles of beer on the wall.


Next.

N bottles of beer on the wall,
N bottles of beer.
Take one down and pass it around,
(N-1) bottles of beer on the wall.

(n-1) bottles of beer on the wall
(n-1) bottles of beer,
Take one down and pass it around,
(n-2) bottles of beer on the wall.

[Quoth the Murkrow] YAARK!

*Affy changes the setting on his watch to "Music", and a bright sounding rock accordian and rock guitar begin playing. He pulls a mini-microphone out of his belt and quickly runs over the lyricks*

This is "I Remember Larry", by Weird Al Yankovic...


Hey, do you remember that guy Larry next door?
Well he always was the neighborhood clown.
Like that time he pulled my pants off and he
took those color pictures and
posted copies all over town.

Like that time that he poured toxic waste on my lawn,
like those wacky prank phone calls from midnight 'till dawn,
What a crazy kid Larry was, always foolin' around!

Boy, what a joker, what a funny, funny guy,
I'll never forget about Larry, no matter how I try.



The verses will continue until Lord R returns. After this will be something else. Possibly "What Is Hip?" by Tower of Power, or "The Twilight Zone", or maybe "Zute Suit Riot". Possibly "Harvey The Wonder Hampster", or any of a multitude of songs you don't want to hear in a murder mystery forum.

Unless someone presents something more interesting to do, that is.

Where is Red? Affi, you should know?

Affy, do you take requests? How about "Spirit of the age" by Hawkwind?

(That's the one that starts with the line "I would have liked you to have been deep frozen too"...)

I don't know the lyricks to that one very well. BTW, UH, why should I know where Red went to? I'm assuming that he went home for the holidays and's just a tad busy what with a new semester of college starting.


Say, do you remember when I lost all my hair,
Cause Lare gave me that Naire shampoo?

And hey, how 'bout that day he put
Bengay inside my jockstrap and filled my toothpaste tube up with glue?

All the wedgies he gave, all the shoe strings he tied,
All the brownies he made (with the ex-lax inside),
Oh, Lare I swear, it was a...laugh a minute with you!

Boy, what a joker, what a funny funny guy,
I'll never forget about Larry, no matter how I try!
