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

I just dropped by to say hi. and to ask if you know how Zee is. I haven't heard from him in a while and I just wonder about him sometimes. I hope yall are all doing good, Rita too. How is she these days?

Rita's fine. I haven't heard from Z either. I noticed his sites are down too. Maybe he's decided to pack it in. I'll let you know if I find out anything.

We're snowbound here. How about you?

I think I heard yall got some snow. that's a good thing though right? Jerry says it'll be too dry this summer if yall don't get a lot more snow, then he won't be able to come out and ride his bike around like a fool for a week till his butt gets sore. It was like spring time here a couple of days ago, now it's just dreary and a bit cool. It won't be long now though, the butter cups have already bloomed. I hope we don't get a frost now and kill them.

I'm glad to hear Rita is doing okay. So I guess she just swore off the internet all together or she just doesn't come to these places anymore? She has more will power than I do. I don't seem to be able to keep from coming around. Well when you talk to her tell her I said hi. No sense being mad forever. In fact it might be very educational for me is she would tell me exactly what it was I said that was over the edge apparantly. If not that's okay too, just a hi back would be fine.

It's not really unusual for it to be a very long time in between hearing from Zee. I guess he's just been on my mind a lot lately and I thought you might know what's up with him. Which site is down? I went to the webmuseum site last night and it was up. Well it could just be some glitch or another too.

I meant to tell you in some other thread, don't remember where now, if I had a rifle I'd come join your war. You could give me sanctuary from my own government or something like that. Maybe we could start a movement and enough of us can defect from the American government to yours and you guys wouldn't be such a minority anymore. think it would work

The sites I'm talking about are the ones he had about the computers and archery and stuff like that. I'm not sure which museum one you're talking about. I guess it's the one Rita was working on that had the geology stuff maybe?

Rita says "hi" or at least she's waving. I don't think she's still mad at you. She's a scientist so she does science stuff and that ain't what's happening around here. And she's got a new boyfriend and you probably know how that goes right?

We got the second biggest snow in a hundred years actually. We're still digging out and, yes, we needed it very badly, although it's still not going to be enough for people to water their stupid custom groomed lawns. You just can't get it through their thick skulls that they live in a desert as in rain shadow or whatever it's called. How hard is that to understand really?

Actually if you want to tell me something on that thread, please do. It needs the activity to get the attention it deserves I think, not just for us but for the people of the world. We're all going to have to defect from the United States sooner or later or settle for serfdom worldwide. That's why Bush is betting the farm. He figures nobody else at the table can see him let alone raise him. I don't know about you, but that's not what I had in mind, cleaning toilets for Bush so he can bet everything we've still got sort of on some stupid, horrendously hurtful and destructive game.

I think people just need to put down roots wherever they are and resist being pushed around. If you can get the real estate back, they can't use it for collateral and if the banks won't lend them money, they're out of business. Now, I know that's easier said than done but I don't know what else we can do, do you?

so rita got rid of darrell (sp?)? good for her!

you know you need to and can indeed must stop participating in the or any 'great' game 'they' propose, right?

hye, how come it ain't ** U N C L E ** Zinkthalahaha?

seriously, i send good thoughts...

Zitkalahaha is related to Rita, not me, which means I'd call him Grandpa, not Uncle, so we could have sex and stuff without people talking in hushed tones like they do about my "uncles".

And Darrel, or however you spell it, was history before Christmas actually. Don't think it hasn't been just endless days of sunshine since too. If you think I sulk, just consider Rita. When she won't talk to you, you're never sure if it's something you said or an offhand gesture or she just doesn't want to waste time typing.

The games are optional until you stop sending money, then they show up at your house with tanks to collect, since they can't do that with the rich bastards. Consequently, your entire socioeconomic group's participation needs to be insured by decisive demonstrations of what happens when you don't. Sort of like the European concept of public torture to enforce compliance in the crowd of voyeurs for which the show was presented. I'm confident we could find a modern example, but would be moderated if we mentioned it.

I've already read at least one piece of crap about how we're going to have to find some other country to live in once this madness finds its definition of victory. Ain't that just like a bunch of nazis? Telling us they'll get us in the end for our "treason"? Bet that gives them erections too, don't you think?

as you once told me so it is rita is a lakota, no? i understand the links between u & her and slcm and z ... to an extent. xo @ to the kids; i think one can never have enough of those. well then ...,

i for one and my family am/are not just giving up my country or indeed this beautiful earth.

and you _can stop playing in their game. yes, it will cost you more than merely turning over the protection money does. does freedom and liberty and peace have a price, can a price be put on it, can the price ever be too high in relation to the value of those items?

saddam was a good student, maybe. i remember the public hangings - no face bags - saddam carried out; the busloads of little children he brought out to spit on the bodies; they hung in public squares for what seemed an eternity; the tv piped the images into so many places ...

You got to wonder if the replacement will be such a great improvement. The lying, sanitized hypocrit still torments, maims and kills as well as the brutal exhibitionist.

no doubt the hypocrite is a more difficult than the one who just out and out rejects.

i've given up on the "opinions on ..." as there is nothing that will be allowed to remain that could be the cause of critical thinking. i still think aeotearoa is beautiful and i thought of all its inhabitants that way. now it seems i must be respectful of my reservations; those that i had thought were the unwarranted result of isolated experiences from my childhood.

as the thought has come to my head, i'll state it: though you remain elusive as ever and though you are better known by those who you are with, even if for a few moments, i do beleive i can trust you ... .

I mean you no harm, Kyaa. I never have.

You're outsider that's all. But you're a little less strange now than you were before. More a source of wonder than of fear. Maybe that means I can trust you too.

what do you mean 'outsider?' come to think of it maybe that is what i am... hummm...

I thought that's what you wanted to be so you wouldn't get tied down or whatever.

hey, have you read the book of that name. if not, do and tell me what you think.

Well, I haven't read it, so I can't really tell you what I think about it until I do read it.

and ana i love mother ... very much (and dear old dad, and, and ... mangoes, guavas, passionfruit, lemons, pink papayas, warm oceans, full sails on open waters, paths on tall mountains, the vast calm of a desert oasis, the cool depth of a vast cave, the deep green cacaphony of a rain forest, a good pony on a quiet path, the vast sky, the beautiful full moon, the sun on my shoulder, a fox at rest, the twinkle in an eye, a child's gurgle and smile, the delight of deep love, the comfort of affection, a good warm blanket, a long soak, a nicely turned phrase, a bite of bread fresh from the oven, a handful of pinenuts, a perfectly formed cashew, an apple right off a tree, a just ripe chermoya, a shaply lotus, the scent of a deep red rose, a proud rhino, an elegent tiger or wild cat, the gentle tounge of deer on my hand, the rough coat of a goat, the strength of my beautiful dog, the independence of a cat, the hug of my family, the shake of my friend's hand, the softness of a kiss given with love, the pleasure of a new friend, the combinations of colors and vistas in nature viewed anew, ....)

tell Rita congratulations on the new boy friend. I hope this one is a good one, although what I heard of the Darrell one seemed pretty nice. If a guy is sober more than he's drunk and works for a living, there's not much more you can ask for

Well, I got one now and he's a longhair who knows it makes rain and it has too or at least it's made snow. That's a good sign. Dude has power, and vigor too. My kind of boy friend for sure. Now if I can just keep him out of my beer.

AAAYYYY!!!

Good!
