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

Indeed...

Naw, I'd find it fun... It's the singing slugs that get me... And clowns... urgh.

What did you have to do? The thing is that, like most things in Norway, getting a certificate is expensive...

Yup, same here... Pesto is a universal solvent... And sour cream is god's gift to mankind (not to be had raw, but an excellent ingredient)...

Oh, please tell me you can upload it to some webspace... That'd be soooo fun...

Singing slugs? That's a new one. I don't really have an opinion about slugs other than it's neat when you pour salt on them. Sadistic but neat. I don't have an opinion about clowns either.

I just had to go through some evil basic classes like how to share oxygen, how to put on a skin suit, and how to communicate. My uncle does some underwater welding, so he taught me all that. I don't recertified every year unless I know I'm going to be doing any diving. Too much work for me.

I don't know about sour cream. I was thinking more of cheese. I love cheese, but America sure lost out on the cheese market. What are we stuck with? Velveeta. Ish, just plain ish.

You're sick, but I'll work on it. X-rays scan really weird.

And you're calling ME sick?

Well, clowns are meant to symbolize people's fear, actually... That was why they were made in the first place, to make people face their fears, and then have the fears ridiculed in the arena... I don't think clowns are creepy, just... annoying.

Ahh... we have practical exams and classes in Norway, and theory, ansafety and stuff... Oh the horror...

Hmm... what's Velveeta?

Naw, I'm not sick, you just said they looked cool, and I can think of thousands of ways to manipulate an X-ray into somehting fun...

Try putting a blank sheet behind it... Or you could run it through a photocopier and scan that... It just might work...

Okay, so I'm a LITTLE sick.

I've never really had any interaction with clowns, so they've never had a chance to scare/annoy me.

Velveeta is this nasty, machine made cheese in a large, orange block. It's half plastic, half artificial flavoring. *runs to vomit*

You could hide faces and stuff in them. Muahahaha... I tried that, but the flesh image does this strange refracting stuff. Sort of weird.

Off to do evil pre-cal/trig bearings work.

Hmmm... a wee bit... but so am I, I suppose...

Well, I had, when I was little... I hated it...

Urgh... that sounds terrible... We haven't got any proper cheeses over here... Except perhaps Jarlsberg... Oh, and the brown cheese... 'Tis traditional.

Well, what you've got to do instead is to liquify the original image, and pull it, so as to make it look like the original image... Don't just layer another image on top... Anyway... are you getting anywhere...

Urgh.. Is that maths? I'm through with maths for the moment...

Sick is good. Good is sick. Must be a take off busy hands are happy hands and happy hands are busy.

Sounds horrid.

How would you liquify a piece of paper? Wow, sounds complicated. I just might get a copy of it and send it to you instead. The radiologist says he takes home some of the good ones and puts them on his refrigerator. Getting anywhere.......????

I shall live and die with maths I'm afraid. I'm positive they always come back to bite you in the tush later.

So true... which is why I became a drummer...

And indeed it was...

Oh, I thought you were doing digital manipulations... How do you hide faces in an x-ray then...?

Then I suppose one might as well get used to it... I actually like maths... But I'm through with it for a couple of years...

Drummers=sick. I agree.

I'm still trying to get the stinking thing scanned. I think I said I was PLANNING to hide little faces in it.

Math hates me. I'm actually quite scared because I've passed all of my trigonometry tests recently with high grades, sometimes the highest in the class. My math teacher noticed it and asked one in our gargantuous class of six people if I was cheating off of one of them. Yeah, right...

I would say the same about saxophone players ...

Ahh... naw, you said: "you can hide faces in them, but the flesh images shine through"... or something like that, anyway...

You're not cheating, are you?

Anyway, good grades in trigonometry, eh? Good for you... And how strange...

Well, poo to you too!

I have sucessfully succeeded in confusing myself. When I go back for a checkup, I'll ask the doctor how to properly copy an X-ray.

I love my teacher, but cheating would be completely...bad. We have six people in our class, and we all sit at a seperate table. While we COULD cheat, it would not be advisable. I would not like to experience the formidable white rage of Mrs. Gentry.

How strange? I'm thinking that you're implying something.

3-1, and all in one post !

Hehe... maybe it isn't even possible... I dunno... but anyways...

I see... The indescribable feeling you get when you watch someones facial expressions turn from mild interest, into confusion, and then into disappointment, which again leads to pure primal rage... all within the blink of an eye... And of course the knowledge that you're the cause for all of those emotions. Naw, it's not fun being caught cheating... I've never done it, and I don't think I ever wish to do it either... It's just too... evil.

Naw, you were implying something... you said something like:
"I'm actually quite scared because I've passed all of my trigonometry tests recently with high grades, sometimes the highest in the class."

Which implies that you're not always good with maths... But then again... you seem to be doing swell at the moment...

nooo

a typo in the emoticon!!!

it was of course supposed to be:

Truly, this isn't fair. Beating to death a poor innocent with easily hidden digs. I'm feeling the need to throw a tantrum.

I usually don't end up enraged due to senseless confusion. Mostly, I stick to the dumb blonde act and stay in a fog of ignorance until the next day. I really don't get that upset easily, at least, I don't show it often.

Cheating...did it once in third grade and I'll never do it again.

I'm terrible at math, so it is scary. You're a drummer, you wouldn't understand. *sniff*

Oh, no... you see, the question of if I'm being fair or not, is nota question of wether I've treated you badly, it's a qestion of wether or not I've ever treated anyone else better...

But, I'm only joking... you know that... plus, I love arguing, just as long as it stays unserious...

But do throw one...

Well, you do... you just wait a little longer than what an experienced teacher would... they go through it all quicker than you're capable of saying "collective punishment"...

But it's the same with me, really, I hate being angry... I only ever use anger as a last option, when I've tried diplomacy for what seems like an eternity...

I don't think I'll ever do it... It wouldn't help me learn anything...

What makes you think that I wouldn't understand? I find that most people are afraid of the unknown... And getting good results on a maths test is apparently a new experience to you... So it's perfectly understandable that you should feel that way... And anyway... I'm not too much of a stereotypical drummer... Though, I am a terribly unorganized person...

*wail* I feel the abuse.

Arguing is great fun, even when it does turn serious. However, one must be vewwy careful when it reaches that point.

Do throw a temper tantrum? I'm afraid not. As a reserved person, that would be highly detrimental to my health. I'm a horrible person when I get enraged. It's that glowing, white-hot, silent rage that scares people. Ask Cayle.

I'm not an angry person. When I get angry, I hide it well.

It's a waste. It's better to do your work. I failed that stupid test because my best friend said she got them all right. At least when you do your own work, you can be proud of it.

The stereotypical drummer...I would sincerely hope not. Most of my friends are drummers nowadays. What is the world coming to? I think I've lost my head.

Hehe... that one was a quote from the musical "My fair lady", btw .

Indeed, some people get hurt, and I hate it when that happens, I suppose I have too much conscience...

AAAAAH... the anger... the anger... Naw, I can be quite sharp when I get angry, but I have no need to be that angry... People get scared, simply for the reason that I never get angry unless I have a very good reason to... Plus I'm good at throwing words...

So true...

Hehe... it's true, drummers generally connect well with saxophhone players... You do play saxophone, don't you...? Or perhaps not... God... I suppose I'll have to go really far back to find that out...

I haven't watched that in ages. I go on a musical spree once or twice a year where, for two or three days, I do nothing but watch musicals. Great fun and you end up singing the songs for months after.

Being angry is bad and dangerous. Better to stay happy!

Don't strain yourself. Yeshhhhh I play saxophone, but I'm not quite sure how. In fact, it's sitting in the corner of my room giving me the play-me-now-or-I-will-murder-you-in-your-sleep look. I'm subtly ignoring it and I'm going to water my orchids.

I don't really watch a lot of musicals meself.. We just had to watch it in an english lesson... Oh the horror... Naw, it's quite fun to go and get lost in musicals... They're strange, and stupid, but in an altogether amusing way...

Naw... Anger is a tool, one should use it, but only when it is absolutely neccesary, because anger doesn't neccesarily produce the right answers...

Hehe... indeed the joys of happily ignoring someone, or, as is clearly the case with you, something...

I'm currently working hard to ignore the fact that I have a New-Norwegian test this tuesday... URGH!!! Gawd, how I hate that horrid, stupid, constructed language...

I love them. I only participate in them if there are parts as dancing whores. I don't know why, but I'm especially good at that. And, no, it does not correctly reflect on my personal life.

Anger is loss of control. You lose control, you attack people, and ALWAYS get the right answers.

I've now got an excuse as to why I am not practicing like I should *oh, the shame* so I'm safe.

New-Norwegian class? Is that like English class? Grammar and other evils? You hate your own language...hmm...I can see the problems growing. Let us ask this question: What is the first thing you will do when you get out of school?

*I know the answers*

Indeed... it's the same with me... I love acting, if it allows me to be unrightfully angry with someone... I enjoy a good shout, but it's not at all like me...

Naw, not always, that's what I used to think, but I realized at some point that some times, you just have to protect yourself from being overrun, and at those times, you'll need anger...

Hehe... well. I haven't got an excuse, as I've got a test this wednesday... AAAAAAH

Well, maybe I haven't told you... We have two languages in Norway, "Bokmål" and "Nynorsk" (directly translated: "Book speech" and "New-Norwegian"). New norwegian was constructed in the 1800 by a Norwegian called Ivar Aasen, whereas bokmål was derived from Danish, which was what was spoken by the upper classes at that time (Norway had just gotten out of its union with Denmark). Anyway, the result is that we have two VERY, but not totally similar languages... And we have to learn both of them... Oh the horror... I just wish they'd remove the bloody thing from our curriculum! It's so totally unnecesary, as no-one has any problems with communicating because of the "linguistic barrier".

Hmm... probably go out and celebrate... but then again, that's all we Norwegians do for the last three months of school...

Then, I might decide to become a musician, which will lead to an early death from alcohol or other drugs...

But then again, I might not...
