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

Paul, I must let you know, Abbi was struck by lightning a few year ago and was confined to a wheelchair. She used to come on hootoo regular, but her physical health deteriorated and she is unable to operate a keyboard well, I'm not sure if she has a special type or not ??, I do know her movements are restricted. When I first came on here, I soon found that she was a very well respected lady, by all and as stated, she is dearly missed. I would not want you to write anything that might be taken in the wrong text my friend - I dropped the proverbial goolie I have in my spine, a stainless steel rod near the base and I'd wrote on one of Abbi's threads at the time, that I daren't go out in lighting, then Lil came to MY thread and told me about Abbi, so err! sort of oops!
(I think she lives in Denver Colorado)

cheers my friend

Thanks for letting me know.

I probably won't want to bring up the lightning incident in "Marley and Me."

Or discuss Benjamin Franklin's kite .

Maybe even the storm in "Donnie Darko".....

puns could arise at a later date

That's sensible.

I found the hard way that puns are not helpful on the first date.

now you got me curious ??

There's very little to be curious about.

puns are not helpful on the first date <<< that bit


it's like the Yorkshire guy, that goes out night clubbing, he says to his mate, how is it you can pull women and I can't. He replies - you have to whisper sweet nothings in their ear. So off he goes, comes back a while later with a bust lip and black eye, his mate says what happened ? I whispered in her ear like you said, so what did you say then ? reply - Tha' dun't sweat much for a biggun' does tha'

It was an inside joke. In 2001, I met some other H2G2 researchers in Manhattan. I told so many puns that Shea the Sarcastic told me, "One more pun, and you're gonna get it." I soon forgot her threat, and . (Not really, there was a staged punch which someone photographed, but I was completely unhurt .)
It was fun to be the bad boy of the group formonce. My life is usually so uneventful...

got itwell, not to worry hereI only wish that rules were I little more laxsome deep puns could be used then

you definitely can't beat a good pun, there are loads of err! thicko's around my area and are too thick to realise what a pun/take down isthey are open to everything

Same here.
I can tell the same puns every year, and they've forgotten them already.

there are some that thick, if there was a 3rd world war, they'd think it was a console game

We already had the Third World War: some historians have decided that the French and Indian War was a world war, making the First World War the Secone, and the Second World War the third.



We should never have come down out of the trees.

and now with Pluto not a planet


well at least we know there are plenty of amoeba brains about

When they finally go away, we can say "adios amebas."

but over here, they think they can run the country etc

Look on the bright side: they may be running the country, but the city is still safe.

argh! those that run the city near us, also run our town and they've run it in to the ground
bring back the stocks and bad eggs

I think I can spare some of the bad eggs in my refrigerator. I also have some stocks.....

my greatest wish, is to put child molesters in the stocks and let the mothers/feamles have them - soon see how civilised we are

We are no more civilized now than we were 20,000 years ago.
