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

Good work. As usual.

Who you imitating? My vanity says U188966. But I'm not so certain.

Nice read anyway. You have a very fertile brain. I admire that.

Don't get the x-files bit though.

Trout

You're vanity's right.
As for the X-Files, I don't get it either.
(Obviously not what you'd have written, then...)

YOUR vanity's...etc
(we speak the English, you know, yes?)

With Dragons and Sojourns Wales got a Rarebit of coverage in the Post.

Phocoid. Or Phocid?

Is this Pingu's foul play?

Trout

Lion came up with 'phocoid'. That's my excuse anyhow.
It does Google slightly, only some of them are me.
Hey, a real cool way to feel like you're famous : make up words, post Entries, Google yourself.
So to speak.

Wo, Fish-boy
I noticed Fitzroy back. Sorry about not posting to the PR thread, only Gnomon and I tend to argue.
It's a good PR entry (with minor work needed, eg saying much the same thing twice about his predecessor's suicide).
I hope you still have the original. I'm not going to say that it was better, because that's a matter of opinion, and in any case I can't remember it properly.
I can remember that it was more personal, though. Said more about you.
There ought to be some way to entrify them both.
Keep it up, so to speak. I expect to be round here a bit more again now, if you're interested.
Have a belting twenty-oh-four, anyhow

"...if you're interested...". I most certainly am.


Your Dad. Corleone, Quixote or Caster-Rovers?

Aha...Dons.
(Which has me confused, 'cos dear old papa isn't. Never mind)

Definitely not Caster-Rovers anyway . Scunthorpe and Lindsey United, more like.
Not at all Corleone, either. Quixote, yes, a bit.

He's currently preoccupied with his weblog, btw. Shudder. Still, if it keeps the old boy from tilting at darker windmills...

More akin to Meldrew.

Hey son of Don,

It's about my penchant.

Trout

And a very nice penchant it is too...



I show it to a lot of people, you know.
Your stuff, I mean.
Most are charmed. No. That's not the right word. Never mind.
There are those (as has been said elsewhere) who compare it to Joyce on lavatory walls.
Myself, I think it's more Dylan Thomas with the pages stuck together.

You don't have the easi-wipe version then?

It'll get monotonous after a while though. And I can't do serious, or invent the character stuff (alberta, orchid, speak, et al), which I think is brilliant. Still, in the meantime, I'll just keep banging away, going at it hammer and tongs, etc ...

Where's Waz?

Trout

Interesting lunch party there in your Journal.
I never know whether to post to such things, in case I spoil some higher design.

Anyhow, Rachel would have said to watch out for the wizzened guy with the cravat who put his hand up her skirt. She might have added that the guy who looks like a fish is a lousy tipper.

So, if you ever feel a need for ungracious gatecrashing, let me know, yeah?

Oh Mr. P!

You're welcome to parcipitate in any of my functions, bodily or otherwise.

Best Rear-guards,

Trout

Hey, Trout!
I just read the whole of NS-S, start to finish.
In places it's almost coherent. The overall quality is better than I'd appreciated.
And I saw your googly-little fish-eyes pop up against your name as I read. Aw, bliss.
So...don't be so obscure. Where did that lunch party come from?

...and would you mind if I were to participate instead? Only I don't know how to parcipitate...

It's a bit dull really. Old Spice keeps a journal of the routine of our daily lives; stuff the kids say, milestones, stuff going on at work, what we're spending our money on; blah really. But it'll be good to look back at 10 years on maybe. Or even if it isn't at least we'll have the option. I try to spice it up a bit by mixing reality with fiction. And generally I post it here on my journal first to see how it gets received. Like the "Toy" thing.

Anyway, we did have lunch, I did have the seafood salad. One of those eating with us did resemble Roger Moore. And he does work for the UN. Doppelgangers for Gregory Peck and Bernie Ecclestone were at adjacent tables. But it would be much more fun to have them eat with us.

And I'd have you at my table any time. As it were.

A quick burtht of thee thellth thea-thyellth on the thee-thyaw thood have thaved her thkin.
