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

I have come to pay homage to your truly legendary, monumental comic skills. seriously, along with ekki, you are one of the funniest people on h2g2.

I'm drunk right now, which is always a good way of saying these sort of things , but keep up the good work.

I would start your fan club, but id have to publicise it, and i dont have the time right now. my hangover cure reuqires the consumption of roughly my body weight in water.

Thanks for the compliments Uncle.

I've been away camping so sorry for the late reply.

When did the "Heavy" become "Cuddles"??

well parferris suggested it. im going to see how long it is until people start asking for the old, nonhuggy me back, and then charge them lots of money for the privilegde

I think I prefer "Heavy"

so do i, but im cuddles right now for comic effect. it seems to be working. people keep laughing at me at any rate

In fact how about something heavier than heavy. Like Uncle "the Daddypants" Absolut B*****d!

a vodka drinker with unmarried parents? no and no, im afraid. im not a liar, see?

You mean you don't drink vodka?

nope...i hate the stuff. im now officially too old for necking from a paper bag (i get served in pubs, see?) a peculilarly 15 year old thing to do in this country

You're never too old to be drinking from a paper bag.

Some of my best memories come from drinking. As do most of my best memory lapses.

i have had phew good spirit incidents. and many bad spirit hangovers

When I was 21 the people at work took me to the local pub and bought me double rum and cokes.

I lost count of how many I had.

I was sick for two days and was unable to even look at rum without being queasy for years afterwards.

thats a rum do. sorry.

i hate that. i can no longer drink ale in much the same way. but thats ok, cos its hideous.

My brother makes his own

I therefore now drink lots of because he has to give it away.

free ? cant complain. cant complain at all. why does he give it away? cos its unsellable?

Its unsellable only because you need a licence to sell here and that means getting government inspections etc.

He gives it away because he makes it by the tubful and can't drink it all himself.

Although he tries.

what a sensible idea. but theres something to be said for exclusivity: thus he should get inspected and hed be popular for only producing such limited quantities. people would pay thru the nose

I think he likes having all that to himself

fair dinkum

there, just trying to make you feel at home

Thanks Unk.

Sorry I've been away for so long.

Real Life. Grrrrr.
