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

Hi, Peachy ... yeah, write yr password down - tattoo it on your eyeballs, as a guy on the radio said once...
Meanwhile - tis a shame about the discussion, just when we need it most! Nice to hear from you...

well I forgot the third password too, but then remembered the second one - this one - so I'm back on a different space, with the same name.

How is New Zealand ? I know a few people who said they were going to buy land there - I heard it is really nice.

and thanks for the cake, the tea and the

I have a new space too! I couldn't get in this morning, and realised only after setting up a new identity, that it was because the keyboard I was using was packing a sad... it wouldn't do the letter 'h' and so I couldn't log in! Sigh...
New Zealand is a nice place, but very cold, much colder than the Tourist Board would like people to believe. Many NZers are very insular and unconcerned with the outside world. Sad, but not true of all us, thankfully...

I think NZ'ers are a lot less insular than aussies. But then again, you have a lot in common, not so much in the cultural stakes, but in the aggression stakes. I trained and worked with a lot of aussies, and they all made fun of the kiwis and then I worked with some kiwis and they made fun of the aussies. I preferred the aussies for their fighting ability, but the kiwis for their humour and all around better nature. But they could fight like bast---- ! Them were the days ! .......

My little poem about "Buster Clombs" will soon be wiped from view, so I'm going to post it here to you, and hope it lives another day in secrecy -

Buster Clombs are friendly
Buster Clombs are NEAT !
Buster Clombs will give you ways
To reassess your STREET !

When you see a Buster Clomb
Descending from above,
Don't forget to wave and smile
We sent it with our love !

Try to catch our Buster Clombs !
They twinkle as they drop,
If you do not catch them
Product warnings say they'll POP !

Our Buster Clombs are lonely
All they want is fun !
They'll make straight for your family
Then you'll all be one !

If you lose your legs,
Or your Mummy or your Daddy
Its not because of Buster Clombs
Its that bad old Saddamy !

Buster Clombs are friendly
Buster Clombs are NEAT !
Buster Clombs will give you ways
To reassess your FEET !

Good Luck to you !

Peach.

Peachy, it will live on! I cut-and-pasted it to Microsoft word, and printed it - so moderated or not, I got to see it! Yay, it's brilliant!

definitely NOT brilliant, but anyway !

Thought you might like this one - if you've heard "White Lines" by Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel :


By Bushmaster Don & Jazzy Dick C.


(Ooooh...Pipe Lines) Vision dreams of diesel
(Blowin through our minds) And all the while I think of crude
(George cries) A very nice transaction
(For us to unwind) The more we see the more we do
(Something like a phenomenon) Condi !
(Force our friends to come along, but Aaarabs....blow away !)
(Blow! Rock it! Blow!)

Ticket to ride pipeline highway
Bribe all your friends, they can go our way
Pay your toll, sell your soul
Pound for pound costs more than gold
The longer you stay the more you pay
Our pipelines go a long way
Through your ville and against your will
With nothin to gain except makin' a schill

(Pump! Rock!) 4X
(Bomb!)

(High...) Higher, Tony !
(High...) Get higher, Tony !
(High...) Get higher, Tony !
And don't ever come down! (Free Oil!)

Verse Two:

Bush is an Orangutang
Bush is an Orangutang
Bush is an Orangutang Diggedy dang di-dang diggedy dang di-dang

(Pipe lines...) Pure as the driven crude
(Connected to our tanks) And now we're havin fun, Condi!
(Pop cries) Price is gettin' high
(But it makes you feel so nice) I need some one-on-one, Tony
(Don't let it blow your mind away) Tony
(And go into your little hideaway cause pipelines...pump away)
(Bomb! Rock it! Pump!)

A million magic barrels, painted pure and black
A multi-million dollars just sittin' in Iraq
Twice as sweet as sugar, twice as bitter as salt
And if you get hooked, Tony, it's nobody else's fault, so let's do it!

(Crude! Pump!) 4X
Rrrrah! (Suck !)

(High...) Higher, Tony
(High...) Get higher, Condi !
(High...) Get higher, Tony !
And don't ever come down! (Free Oil !)
