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

You'll need to improve your aim so that Fred and the mods will get errors, but we won't.

Easier said than done that. I think I'd rather just *pretend* to sing the ode. That way it should be safe. And I don't have to bother with leaning it by heart.

That's not a bad idea. Actually, I think I'll sing the ode right now.

*sings ode*

*applauds*

Very good! And it hasn't been moderated! Aren't you great at pretending!

Shh...I'm not pretending...

No! Of course not! Absolutely!

Very good Arthbard! And what a lovely voice you have! Gee, that tune is really something! Isn't this the very best ode ever written! Bet Fred and the mods are very jealous now! Won't they be here any minute and moderate it!

Why haven't the Gostbusters arrived, by the way? Maybe they do moderators too.

Maybe they got caught in a traffic jam somewhere around the question's only backlog.

The moderators or the Ghostbusters? I'm kind of waiting for both. I do hope the Ghostbusters get here first, though.

I was thinking of the ghostbusters. The moderators probably like to hang out over at the no, no, no thread. Come to think of it, I bet Fred does, too.

Why bother to pretended to sing the ode then? What do we need the Ghostbusters here for if Fred and the mods are over at no no no? Maybe we didn't pretend hard enough.

Would it help if I pretended really hard?

*pretends really hard*

That was better, I guess they'll be here any second now.

*waits a very very very long time for Fred and mods to hurry over to steal the ode*

I think there's something wrong with our planning, Arthbard. Or maybe it wasn't they who stole the original ode after all. Maybe they're not interested at all. Should we call the Ghostbusters and tell them not to bother?

I don't know. Maybe we should wait for the Ghostbusters just in case. You never know when the mods might stop by with a ghostly apparition of Fred's flapping undies.

Yes, maybe you're right. I'm not so sure about the moderators anymore, but there's still Fred to get rid of.

Yes, he probably yikesed the ode when we weren't looking. That's what happened. He just wanted us to think it was the moderators.

He probably what? Sorry, I haven't learned that word yet.

Ah, well, you see that horrified looking smiley down in the corner of this post? We call that the yikes button. You're supposed to use it if you see something that breaks the rules in some way, then it gets sent for moderation. So if you click the button, then you have "yikesed" that posting.

Aha! Ok, thanks. Yes, could be he did just that. They didn't bother with any of the other versions of the ode.

He saw how great that version was and decided to hide it from us.

Good thing I still have the copy. So we don't have to keep on pretending after we have gotten rid of Fred. The Arthbardians would want to know what it is exactly they are supposed to pretend.
