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

Is everyone living? Its the place for longwinded philosophical arguments on the "meaning of loaf"

*letting her meat loaf on a slightly tattered, scarlet velveteen sofa while sipping her cosmicpolitan *

Do you suppose immortals would be considered to be living, since they haven't the option to be dead?

In the words of the dao, Maybe.

Is anyone living in here yet?

Maybe

Ah grasshopper, at last you sense the dao.

Glasshopper's learning, with the help of a few cosmicpolitans.
*hic*

or....

*hoc*?

Ah grasshopper, seeking enlightenment thru' alcohol brings but a false dawn, ( and many hangovers).
Excuse me whilst I meditate naked on this rock.
Could you throw that bucket of ice cold water over me ?
Thanks.

*SPLASH*
A rock in the living room. Humph. You DO have some interesting ideas when it comes to decorating, beanfoto.

*demurely peeks to see if there are any 'shrinkage' effects from the cold water, while not appearing to peek*

You wouldn't be able to see any shrinkage because of all the steam coming off me, that and the Sumo training of course.
Don't you have rocks in your living room? As we say in Leeds "There's nowt so queer as folk".

Sumo training, eh? I haven't heard THAT excuse before.

I don't have any rocks in my living room.... uh oh.... am I behind the times? Will my friends come to the conclusion that I'm irrevokably non-trendy? I have a lucky bamboo in here... does that count for something? Or do I have to go out and buy some designer rocks, just so I can keep up with the Joneses? *grumble mumble* I really DON'T want to have to go back to working full-time just so I can redecorate. *sigh* But if I don't, people will think I'm living in a cave....

Seek not the designer rocks, but the ones in Nature that speak to you,
I myself favour the ones from Carnac, but the flics are on to me and it's sooo tiring levitating them all this way.
Ive never sorted out why the Sumo wrestlers need advanced withdrawal techniques, as in all the bashos I've seen I've never seen one hit in the ....s. Nor do I know how they know it's worked without using a mirror.

Or you could get an Olmec head, but only if you drag it home yourself.
Has everyone left the party but me?

*sigh*
What do you expect? You sent me off to drag around an Olmec head... try explaing THAT one to the local law enforcement agencies. I'm lucky that they decided I'm mostly harmless and set me free.

Did you forget to sprinkle the fairy dust over them?
Always keep some in your Tupperware Survival pack.
Want to hear what I've got in mine?

If I'd been busted with fairy dust here in south Florida, as WELL as an Olmec head.... let's just say I wouldn't have to worry about paying my rent for a while.

I don't even have a tupperware survival pack... actually, that's a pretty good idea for me to put together so I can dump it in my backpack when I'm biking around town.

Tell me tell me what you have in yours!
This is sure to be surprising...

1, Whistle
2, Cellophane ( excellent kindling)
3,Cheapo lighter
4,Pen knife
5, ball point pen ( no connection with pen knife)
6, CD Rom ( excellent for signalling in day light, with suitable hole for tracking spotter plane)
7,( Attached with Blu Tac to cd rom) old fashioned razor blade ( for shaving....cats)
8, water purifying tablets
9, Insect repellant
10, Plasters
11 Buttons
12, Sewing kit
13, Dental floss ( makes excellent string)
My more surreeal survival kit will follow later.
Actually, when I get round to/ have the courage to,do portrait work, I want to try to get my clients to have a panel of non portrait portraits, including such things as a silhouette, and a picture of their own survival kit.

Have you done any portrait work yet, or is it one of those things you're thinking about?

My survival kit is waaaay different from yours.
pen
36 colored pencils
notebook
sketch pad
sunscreen
scented spray water
lipstick
hand cream
towel
Eco's 'Misreadings'
camera
spare film
comb
asprin
eye drops
pencil sharpener
refreshing swipes
electrical tape

I guess we require different things for survival here in the tropics.

Refreshing swipes? I thought you had to get those from someone.
It may not get cold down there, but how are you going to signal rescuers? And cook? And get your film developed?
My surreal kit follows when the Guide is working quicker.

Refreshing Swipes are neat little things from CHANEL that I still have. Multiple uses, too. That way I don't have to carry a roll of toilet paper.

Signaling rescuers: Wave my empty beer glass in the air and look desperate.

Cook: Just lay whatever you're cooking on the hood of a car for 15 minutes. That'll heat it up fine.

Film: hmmmmmm..... might have to see if the Polaroid still works. You have a point there.
