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

Just thought I'd stop by... Have a mufflewhump!

Where in California? I'm in the Sacramento area...

A fellow Valley person! Rock! I'm San Jose! (If we find enough of us.. we should have a meetup sometime )

A mufflewhump! Awesome! (Yes, I did go and read the definition to find out what the heck a mufflewhump was.. That is a pretty darn cool gift there Amy!)


-Peter

I know someone else on here from San Jose.. Lemme go find him for you...





OK, here he is, Fadookie the Froody... U192271

Woohoo! Looks like I'm gonna have to go and introduce myself..
Us Valley-ites gotta stick together!

Thanks

Anytime

Kinda , meeting someone in my timezone, after all this time...

The UK is 8 hours ahead of us, most of the rest of Europe is 9 hours ahead, South Africa, Estonia, and Israel are 10 hours ahead, Moscow is 11, and Australia and New Zealand are 17 hours ahead, though I tend to think of it as 7 behind and tomorrow...

It IS sorta weird.. I'm used to thinking 8 hours ahead.. *giggle* I haven't met anyone from NZ/Australia yet, that I know of.. That's the kind of time difference that would mess with my head.. I remember talking about the World Cup and getting completely confused on when the games were actually happening..
-Peter

Yeah, I convert to UK time pretty much automatically... Though they changed to Daylight Saving Time a week before we did, and that threw me all outta whack... Actually, *everyone* converted a week before we did...

Really took awhile to get the Aussies and Kiwis straight after the time change, too, as they not only changed a week before we did, but in the opposite direction...

The screen's getting all blurry, so I'd better get to bed...

'Night, Amy!
Yeah, it's getting a bit late.. Guess I'd better head off from work soon, eh?
-Peter

*waves*

Oh, I've got an on-going joke with one of my friends on here. Would you like to join in?

Sure! What do I gotta do?

-Peter

Well, it's not what you're likely thinking--not a practical joke (but thanks for voluntering)

In a thread somewhere (I think I know where, but I'm lazy today and not going to go look) we were discussing having a meet at the Gilroy Garlic Festival. Since I brought it up, Happy's been insisting that I organize it... Now, I know that Gilroy's close to San Jose, because I looked at a map...

Don't panic! The soonest would be next summer, because Happy's in the UK, and *was* going to come to the Pennsylvania Dutch Meet, where I would get to meet him (yep, that's right--I'm flying there!) but he had major car repairs a few weeks ago, and now can't go. But he did say that if there was a garlic meet...

Woo! Gosh.. not only have I been to the Garlic festival before (GARLIC ICE CREAM IS PUTRESCENT! FLEE FROM IT!!), but I know people who have worked for the darn thing!

'Course I'm down for that!

And hopefully by that time I'll have a car and such and can get there easily..

Aww you mean I don't get to prank someone? Just Kidding.

Sings: "I might get to go to a meet-up, I might get to go to a meet-up"

There's also a pretty cool festival called the "Scottish Highland Games" that happens every year in Pleasanton.. even if you still want to meet at the Garlic Fest, it's worth checking out.. Aug 31/Sept 1.. here's the site: www.caledonian.org.. Although it looks like my favorite band won't be there!!!

Anyhow, they're cool. So's the Garlic Fest though.

-Peter

Well, Happy claims to like garlic ice cream, which is what made me mention the Garlic Fest to him in the first place!

I managed to find someone that could actually do something about it!!!

Why don't you go tell Happy hi? U150533

s off to say Hi to HappyDude..
Although I dunno about this guy, if he likes garlic ice cream..
But I guess he's just like this guy, you know. (Adams quote! Sorry...)
Wee!! This is
-Peter

Happy's a bit , it's true... But then, he *is* an h2g2er...

(And what makes him even er--he's in my fan club...)

But Amy, you're so everyone should be in your fan club!

And H2'ers are weird by definition, I think.. Why else would we be on the 'nets constantly?

-Peter

I think maybe your greeting to Happy got buried in the backlog... (Yes, I lurk...)

Suppose I'll have to go back and say Hullo again..

pete

Yep
