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

Since you have continued to stubbornly refuse to provide us all with a glimpse of the Geezer in question, i have taken matters into my own hands and even as we squeak i am googling Chicago based geezers.... is this one them?

Ah ha, the thot plickens, this site mentions Tuffy Uk also, we are hot on the trail here.....

Fourth Rotor are friends of both the Geezers and most members of Tuffy UK. I can't believe you Googled and found them... lead guitarist of Fourth Rotor is K's old roommate.

I am probably giving away SO much personal detail here, there's no longer any point in concealing our true identities.

Incidentally, Fourth Rotor are pretty d*mned good!

In the first photo, top right, you can kinda see the top of K's head (he looks down whilst drumming), and part of his arm.

And I have *tried* to get you all a photo of the Geezer in question, however, he stubbornly refuses, using need of a haircut as an excuse. Never fear, he has to go to sleep sometime.

HAIRCUT???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

The man is supposed to be a bloody rock star for goodness sake!!!!!

Tell him i will come and beat him soundly with one of his own drumsticks if he doesn't co-operate.

zdt*has djembe, will travel*

And we have spare drumsticks around the house, for emergency air-drumming, so you wouldn't have any difficulty doing so, either!

(He *does* need a haircut, he looks kinda Beatlesque, horror of horrors... but has had it cut more than once since he agreed to let me get a photo uploaded for y'all.)

Lemme get to work on the camera borrowing task, and I'll have photos available hopefully by the end of the month, if not sooner.

Gawd, isn't the internet wonderful, found the poor soul, complete with photo, don't worry, i will remove real name!

zdt*internet sleuth*

Ah, the Underdog Zine web site, there *is* a photo of K there! He looks very much like that now (that photo is maybe five or so years old) although his hair is cut differently (when it's recently cut or not ). I'll still try for a new photo for you, my dears.

Still working out from whom we can borrow a digital camera, so I can share photos of K, Herman, and the house. I'll upload it all to my Snapfish account, then link to it here.

Just got a beeeeooootiful photo of K from his good mate Joe. How do you attach that collar? I take it he doesn't mind too much!

I might not have seen the photo in question. But I think I know what you mean.

It *was* the photo I thought (thanks for the email), from one of their old flyers. How typical of Joe!!

I will get a recent photo for you, much nicer than the one Joe sent you.

*bump*

And still, no camera. Why do men procrastinate so?

As soon as I get my settlement from the Department of Labor, I intend to buy a digital camera, so you'll never have to wait to see photos again.

I'll ask someone to borrow a camera myself.

Meanwhile, the place looks different already... I bought a new rug for the dining room, Herman's been bathed and conditioned, and K needs yet another haircut, his is looking kind of Ringo-esque.

*this all sounds worrying. I can imagine poor Herman being conditioned; PC staring fixedly at him whilst he is restrained on a kitty shrink couch:

"Herman, you have issues, it is time we confronted them"

"miaow"

"no; that is entirely the wrong approach, let's not be negative about this"

"miAoww"

"Ah, denial is usual; now, think back to when you were a kitten; did anything happen that might have caused this *ahem* unusual response to the litter tray?"

"MMMMMMMIAAAAAAOOOOW"

"Ah, jolly good, we are getting somewhere; now, listen to me, i am not being confrontational; but it's time to change these negative ways of thinking. let's get to the root of the matter. It's basically a problem with your bum really?"

"WAAAAAAAAHHHHMIAOOOOW"

"Hmm; so we are uncomfortable with being restrained; ah ha. And let's talk about this aggressive response to being held under a shower & covered in carcinogenic environmentally unfriendly human chemicals made by massively globalised petrochemical companies who torture animals to find out if it's Ok to put shampoo in their eyes. Do you have some sort of problem with this Herman?"


"Mwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww"

"Ah ha; i beleive we may be getting close to the heart of the matter. Anyway, the 42 minutes is up. That will be lots & lots of please. See you next week.

Hey, it was eco-friendly, cruelty-free conditioner. You know me better than that.

Herman seems to have forgiven me. I've just given him one of his tuna treats, and now he's curled up on his scratchy-box thing.

I wonder what *would* come out, if we had the cat shrunk?
