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

Good King Wenceslas looked out
On the feast of Stephen,
Where the snow lay round about,
Deep and crisp and even.
Brightly shown the moon that night,
Though the frost was cruel,
When a poor man came in sight,
Gathering winter fuel.

Okay, okay, I apologize for inflicting
more images of snow and bitter cold
on my fellow researchers who are sick
of winter. Hey, guys, it was just a
throwaway line. Just a pun.

Now what the did that have to do with the conversation again???

*decides to change the subject*

PC has gone all Emeril on me. He's been cooking all sorts of yummy things for dinner since I work until late. Really if he keeps this up I may never go home...

I say we flog him.





























Paul, I mean... although while we're at it I suppose we may as well flog PC too

and a ful weekend, all

Not PC!!! Especially not when he's spoiling me rotten... How about I find a suitable penalty for him?


I was just offered a wonderful position at the school. I have been working there part-time since I finished my classes but last night I was offered a full-time position with a lovely salary change and full benefits. Woohoo!!!

Congratulations Batty, I sounds great.

Just check the fine print, you never know

Congratulations, Batty.

You took those courses in order to get a better job,
and it certainly seems to be working for you.

YAY!!! Congratulations Batty! I knew it wouldn't be long before they realized that you were indispensible!

YAY!!!

YAYYYYYYYY!!!!


Although it took the ers long enough

*wanders off to flog them*

Thanks guys... if only I had thought about getting a job here before I started classes - could have saved serious $$$$$

Thog dear don't flog them til AFTER they tell me exactly how much I'm making. I may need you then to goose the price up...

I think it was brave of you to go
back to school, Batty. I haven't taken
any courses since 1979. Oh, I've gone to
workshops that my boss thought I should
attend, but there isn't a lot you can
take in in just a morning, or even a whole
day. They usually summarize a lot of material,
so you don't get much detail.

Thanks Paul. But I don't think it was so much bravery as it was lack of other viable options...

Ah. That would be a circumstance with which most of us are well acquainted


in good for you nonetheingless, though!

But it worked out for you, Batty.

Great news Bats
About time you had a boost, you`ve earned it!

Wonderful news Batty, big
Now you need no longer loll around in warm tapioca pudding which shounds quite horrid. It can be cherries flambees and

Incidentally have a wonderful Easter. It sounds like you have got yourself a real super guy. I am so pleased.

Much affection

AR1

I'm not sure I like the thought of
lying in cherries flambe (or *anything*
that's on fire). Sitting in Champagne
is something I haven't tried. What's
it like?

Didn't we do that once in the fountain out in the veranda? Or did we just fill it with ? I think it would be fun. Just think of all the bubbles!

Have a lovely Easter weekend everyone! We're going down to the lake to visit my aunt & uncle. My daughter is taking a friend with her. I've packed suger cookes in the shape of eggs for them to decorate with colored icing, and an egg coloring kit and a couple of dozen eggs for them to boil and color. (cause it's supposed to rain all weekend - of course!) That should keep them busy for about, umm... 15 minutes... I'm doomed!

M&M's candies have been advertising
a new form of M&M's that are shaped like
eggs. They're speckled. Trouble is,
they aren't actually for sale anywhere.

i had a wonderful position at school once. unfortunately the biology teacher unexpectedly walked into the classroom

congrats,

Thanks everyone!

Wonderful to see you, AR1 (extra )!

I think I actually have a bag of those M&Ms Paulie. All of the employees here got Easter baskets with a stuffed animal and lots of goodies in it and I think those might have been part of it. Not sure though cuz PC nicked 'em...
