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

Ohmigosh! It's my birthday. Surrounded by Mingle's wrappers, non functional lighters and cold cups of coffee, the mini brick kicks into the William Tell overture and I notice it is the seventh of January. A year has passed since I applied for permanent residency in this strange but magic land. And what a birthday present. Dr Deckchair Funderlik has posted http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/F109532?thread=365793&latest=1 One of my all time writing heroes and friends on hootoo... alongside the definitely non malevolent phocoid otherwise known as the redoubtable Mr Pinniped, The master bates of 'copy and paste', Dr Montague Trout, and the true lady of Shallot - A girl called Ben. If you have not yet read Funderliks personal space, treat yourself. Open the tipple of your choics, gorge on chocolates and savour his unreality. My thanks to all the rest of you who have helped me through this year. You all appear on my friends list but special thanks to, Waz, Jodan, Hypatia, Shazz, Speckly and fatty lizzard, you don't know how much you've helped. Now I raise a birthday toast to hootoo! take care boots

This year is going to be way better than the last one (which seemed to such for a good many people.)



Speckly.

Thank you all and special *wave* to Caerwynn who should also have been mentioned. If I eat any more I will not be able to get into my slinky outfit for the meet! My designer trollop friend calls it my 'student from hell' look but it's as close as I get to slinky.
take care
boots

*drops a quarter in the juke box and begins to dance*

Don't twirl your coondog by his ears, grandma...<

Happy Birthday Boots!! This makes 7th of Jan a red letter day for hootoo .

Would a coondog most resemble a wolf or a hound? Just trying to get a mental picture of this.

A coon dog can be a variety of breeds I think, but all are hounds with the ability to scent out the racoon. Like a bloodhound.

You mean you folks don't speak Hillbilly?

Racoon - I get it! And corndog is something else entirely isn't it?

Hillbilly? That'd be Welsh in these here parts .

Hey, boyo, watch who you slanderin.


Speckly - a celtic fish.

I only meant that the local hills are Welsh. Honestly.

A likely story! I can just tell everyone's minds have turned to jokes.


Speckly

I only know two.

What do you call a without legs?

A cloud.

What do you call a without legs?

A storm cloud

Similarly...

What do you call a with no legs?

a currant.

What do you call a deer with no eyes?

no, best not start on those

Anyway, Welsh sheep jokes are not quite that friendly!

Speckly

happy happy happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you little lady. Hope this year's better for both of us eh?
take care
boots

definitely!

I'm on a diet. I wish you hadn't mentioned corndogs.

So, how old are you now boots? About 112? Remember, women are like fine wine....we age well.

alternatively - men are like fine wine... you have to tred on them/grapes to get the usefulness out of them and then keep them stored for a very long time so they mature with age and stuff. That came out all wrong, and you get the idea but it wasnt delivered very well. oh well
