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

I'm still acting like a and saying silly things. I think that's pretty close to the main topic here.

it would appear that the majority of us do that

Every so often, though, aserious person visits this thread, and for a moment I have to put on a starched white chirt and gray pinstripe suit, and cover up my red bulbous nose....

only briefly though

I'm always serious

err serious about being silly, but it's still serious

Silliness is a very serious business. It can't be done by just anybody. You need talent, training, a full bottle of seltzer, and good aim when you throw the cream pies.

it's a good thing we are naturals, paul, because you just made it sound very much like w*rk

being daft etc is not workit's a vocation. It's the only thing I'm 101% great atand it don't earn me owtnot that I haven't tried in the past

if you were paid it would be w*rk and not silly any more, right?

guess i'm only part time silly

oh well

I and a mate were working on a club act, but he got marriedand I was trying solo, but someone who could have sort of opened a door let me down. To see some comedians on TV, I think that they get paid for canned laughterI don't need canned(modestly written)

Sorry, Pierce, I didn't mean to make it sound like work. I was just upholding the high value of what we do.

it's all right, paul. taking offence would be just be silly of me







wait, that didn't sound right

Just don't sit on offence.

er, depends, no? are we talking barbed wire? electric?

Hi Paul....Knew it was one of your postings by the title.....I'd love to have a dream like yours.....But I can never rember mine

You dream of having a dream you can remember, eh? Maybe you should go to see movies about the dream state, like "The Science of Sleep," or "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus." Heck, almost any movie by Terry Gilliam would give you strange dreams. But I love them just the same.

the only vivid dream that I can remember was when i had a tooth out
at the dentist when I 14 under sedation. I was dreaming about the chef from the Muppet's....with dancing wooden spoons

I wood love to have had a dream like that!

dreaming about a Muppetmy kinda woman

: hü-dü-hü-dü-hü

must confess i never dreamt about the swedish chef myself...

...ms on the other hand...

last night i dreamt that my house was invaded by a lot of family members who all wanted to sleep over. it was a nightmare!!! my house isn't nearly big enough for more than two guests at a time and right now there is stuff lying around and waiting to be sorted out in every room. you know, paperw*rk i should have signed and posted, shirts i should have ironed

thank bob for waiting up alone for a change
