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

I realised that what this place needs is more culture and debate
so I invited theof Diderot, Voltaire,
Frederick the Great and many others to the salón
Mozart will give a recital while everyone gets
Bhrams and Lizt.

PDQ Bach can perform his "Pervertimento for Bagpipes, Bicycle, and Balloons." We can bring in a projector and watch "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" and "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians."

Dya think the of Mae West might come up amd see us some time?

I certainly hope so!

I just hope that Mae West doesn't come when
Catherine the Great's is here.
That could be a clash of the titans!

Sophie Tucker's would ramp things up a few levels too, eh?

Sure would and Bette Midler's would certainly make
things interesting.

If someone delivered a truckload of cream pies, a pie fight among the would certainly pep things up.

How could we forget Liberace! A true and chef
extraordinaire.

Can we afford the huge candelabra he would insist that we provide? m

I'm sure if we toured the posts and asked for donations
people would be thrilled to help with the costs and perhaps
a candle or two.

I have candles. That's not the hard part. It's the candelabra itself, that even Arnold Schwartzenegger couldn't lift.

I have a solution!
A hot air balloon above the candelabra,
a glitzyone of course.

Where will the hot air come from?

From farting cows?
From Senators and Gongressmen in Washington?
From geysers like Old Faithful?
From the main character in "Arsonist's Guide to Writers' Homes in New England"?

> Where will the hot air come from?

Surely if we have enough candles the thing could be self elevating?

We wouldn't need any politicians

I thought the hot air is coming from this thread.






I'll get me coat.

typ01 is on the right wavelength
we just need someone to stand by with a lighter
in case extra lift is called for.

Welcome back Elly, have a
for everyone else.

The hot air is coming from *all* the cool threads, Elly.
This one is, of course, the coolest, and you are a person of
rare discernment for having discovered it. Our minions in the
coat room have brushed and manually polished your coat so that
it looks better than it has in a dog's age.

Paul is too kind.




(here's the $5 I promised you for saying that.
sorry it's all in)

'tis indeed cool here.
