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

Two is almost a series Well, maybe not quite.

Have you ever read "last chance to see"?

No, I haven't. I've been keeping my eye out for it, but it's not a book that pops up all that regularly...

TK[1]

I did have to search around somewhat for it, but believe me, it is far more than well worth the searching. It's.. frankly quite beautiful. And funny. Quite an amazing read, and a good oppotunity to know Mr Adams as a parson, rather than a "42".

I shall keep my eye even more eadgerly peeled from now on. Failing that, I look forward to the day I can borrow it off you

TK[1]

I would point out your "eadgerly", but I've got a "parson" to my name

You'd be more than welcome to borrow it ont he assumption that you'd look after it and feed it twice a day

Ah, you knew what I meant... as I know what you meant. .

Of course I would! I know how to look after books when they're in my care. I certainly wouldn't rip the cover off, like Steve did with my copy of the 'Guide, although he did do it by taking it on a hiking and camping weekend in the lake district. It looks more travelled now, which is rather apt for such a book.

TK[1]

I know, I know...

So your Hitchhiker's book actually went hiking?
That's a claim to fame, surely?

We all know.

Lol, not /my/ fame, unfortunately...

TK[1]

My table doesn't

Oh, you don't want the fame. Become your book's manager and earn all the money for yourself

Lol, that sounded like a Pheloxi response...

Good idea *rubs hands menacingly*

TK[1]

That was just some fringe madness... I can't help it, sometimes it just happens

Bwahahahahahaha! I wonder if you can be sued for book exploitation?

As long as it's more or less under control...

Only if it's a really convincing book that's doing the sueing.

TK[1]

Okay, I'll try. One more "wop" and I'll be done.

"wop"

I feel much better now, honestly.

Hmm...I wonder what makes a really convincing book

Lol, you're more obsessed than me...

Actually, only reason I'm not doing it is because I'd never be truly satisfied until I had 99,999 companions all doing it at the same time as me.

I'm not sure...

TK[1]

You say that like it's a bad thing

Well, 2 is a start...

We'll have to ask one and find out.

No, just severely improbable.

99,998 wops in the air, 99,998 wops in the air, take one down, pass it around, 99,997 wops in the air...

O.k. Let me know if you find one.

TK[1]

You're right. I am obsessed. I managed to fit "the bugblatter beast of Traal" into a sentence perfeectly naturally and only realised afterwards that I'd done it. I despair. Wop wop. My RS notes are covered in "wop"s.

*sings along*

*goes on the hunt*

You ARE almost as bad as me. You ought to see a doctor.

*stops singing because you are most likely more adept at producing sweeter tones than I*

*grabs book net*

TK[1]

I seem to have contained my condition... untill the next episode. Or sheer boredom. Whatever works.
In fact, current madness bouts have involved a friend and I making up the rules for "extreme kurplunk" You need a tree, a chainsaw and 12 willing participants

*stops singing too as she is most definitely lacking in that ability*

*is imagining chasing books with butterfly nets *

The next episode is the last* one!
Sounds good to me, but what takes the place of the marbles?

Nah, I bet you sing like a particularly gifted angel. With lungs that big, you've gotta have a good voice

Bloody heavy butterflies...

TK[1]



*That should probably read 'final', but I didn't get where I am today by being clear and concise.
