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

someone's stolen your mangy and left Toto in it's place!

I think that's a pretty good deal.

::Enters bearingfor Michele::
I'll just leave them under this tired
Merry Christmas

Thankyou luv! And a very Merry Christmas to you and yours!

(peeks in... )

::A muffled voice groans from the heap of bodies in the corner::
Aaargh turn off the light.
Boy was that some party!

Turns the light of quickly and tiptoes away...

(turns the light back on once the groaning has stopped)

Ahhhh, quiet at last!

*kicks off her shoes, slips her furry slippers on, pours herself a nice warm glass of cognac and sits by the fire listening to the little "snaps" and "pops" it makes, while watching the snow fall outside the window*

A fire made of breakfast cereal (whose brand name I can't say here). That's certainly novel but isn't it a bit expensive?

Nah, I buy the reject boxes... listen see? No "crackle"!

*wanders in, sits next to Michele, puts his head in her lap, heaves a contented sigh*

No crackle? But I thought he was the star gargoyle?

maybe being used as fuel gives him hives or something...

*scritches Fred then sits by the fire to warm her toes*

No, no, no I didn't mean no "Crackle" I meant no "crackle"! Get it?

Hullo Fred sweetie - how are you luv? Care for some warm cognac Batty? Mistadrong? Fred? I'll have Crackle get us some more...

Cognac ? sounds good!

If there`s any left, Michele my sweet....I`ve brought me own glass.....

Arr, never mind the namby-pamby glasses give us the bottle.

cognac sounds excellent! I'm still celebrating...

Well then - I'll do the neighborly thing and give everyone their own bottle!

Yum!


I just got something for a 'cookbook club' (like the old record clubs) that's actually an excellent deal. Since you're a culinary junkie like me let me know if you want to see it and I'll email you the url.

Sounds great! Send it along Bats!
