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

Although it is evening for me.

Welcome to the Earth Edition of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I'm an Assistant Community Editor (ACE) and it's my job to help you settle in and help out in anyway I can. Click the reply button below this post if you'd like to answer, otherwise, enjoy your stay.

Thanks very much. And it is evening for me too, that is what's so funny about it. OK, maybe you had to be there.

I think I can imagine.
How are you finding h2g2 so far?

I had a little trouble making paragraphs (don't ask!) but I've just made my first entry. This site looks like it's going to be great fun and I hope to contribute in every way I can. As long as I don't have to do any actual work, that is...

Never work, ever. Always fun. Til maybe one day it's your real job... Oh, those daydreams again...

Anyway, sorry about that, those red mists... Do you want me to have a lok at your entry? I might be able to help.

In reference to paragraphing, my entry no longer has any problems. However, the actual content of the entry may prove that I have more problems than I originally thought. Thanks for the offer, anyway.

The entry is apparently at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A590041 and it is a retrospective look at a saga of computer games that made my childhood what it was... incredibly sad .

It looks very good. I spent a lot of time playing Chuckie Egg, so I join you in worrying about sadness levels.

Chuckie Egg? Was that the one with all the Easter Eggs? Or am I thinking of Easter?

It was on a BBC Basic that I played it. And do you know, I can't remember how it went at all. I just remember playing that and Frak a lot.

Frak? He's on Star Trek, isn't he?

No, he was a sort of caveman type thing that jumped around in trees (well, they looked like trees) and hit things with his yo-yo.

Sounds a lot like my uncle.

Then you have my sympathy.

That's what the doctor said.

Hmmm, charming of him.

He was a very nice man. Now he's known as Sister Challabumba.

I think he taught me when I was at school. Nuns are so genderless I feel.

That's what they want us to know. Really, they are rabid Tofu Snails from Mars, who are also genderless. But that's just a coincidence.

That's what they want us to think. Really, they are rabid Tofu Snails from Mars, who are also genderless. But that's just a coincidence.

That explains why I never did any good at school. Allergic to the snails...
