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

What's that old chestnut about "proof denies faith..."?

Tallulah, if you really want to know more you could email me. I will be more than happy to help you with any queries you may have.

Or you could continue digging away on other threads. No petards being mentioned, obviously. Makes no odds to me.

I have pointed out my reasoning for the lie challenges. Meter Maid and Audrey were backing up those lies in the face of the proof available for all to see. I have now unravelled their mystery. Even before IP proof it was hardly rocket science, was it?

So good sir, how many dragons slain and princesses saved today in your world?

Well,

St. George, being a hero of mine advised me to give up the dragon slaying and concentrate on what is actually happening in reality. It saves you getting into dodgy territory where the boundaries blur...

As for princesses, there is just the one and she doesn't need saving from anyone. By the time she hits 16 I am trusting my son to handle the suitors the way he handles his karate opponents.

What about yourself?

Nope, no dragons, and my princess is old enough and tough enough to defend herself. And has been known to, quite effectively.

I am hoping she will go the same. As I said, she is vey "Lucy" in her demeanour.

Not sure if that is good or bad at times...

These days, either gender has to learn to be tough. Or atleast tougher than what I needed as a lad. The trick is to not have too much insensitivity or cynicism as well ...

So, do you suppose we might hear from any of the many personalities of our hero? And if, ... might they even note Serenity's strong declaration in post #35?

Personally, I think the idea of reading a back-log is completely foreign to some. Especially if it may cause several grey-cells to be needed, to remember what they read for atleast minutes.

Our hero seems oblivious to back reading as it contains many of his inconsistencies and of course corrections (that he runs from without offering counter lie).

Hopefully he will leave poor serenity out of it. Not sure why he decided to attack her. An act of despair or distraction, maybe?

Ungentlemanly conduct to attack an innocent. His beef is with me and my challenging of his fibs.

The supposed disclossure of "dirty" messages pretty much proved the person to NOT be a gentleman of any sort. As to why she became a focus? Only that confused mind could say, ... and even that may no longer be possible. Selective memory and revisionist ways will see to that.

how did jack call serenity then, and if she doesnt admit to lies then how does she explain speaking to him on the phone atall ?

I don't personally know. He's supposedly the investigative sort who can find something as simple as a phone number. Or perhaps, in foolish faith and trust, she offered her number via e-mail?

How-ever or why-ever they communicated in the past, what DOES that have to do with your enmity towards her today? She has made it clear (in post #35) that she has had, and wanted, nothing to do with him for quite some time.

she should leave off him and so could isiah and the rest. he doesnt desreve it. i think he should show everybo dy her emails

Exactly how many times and ways do you need to be told? She has had nought to do with him, or about him, for months. And wants nothing to do with him. Until you came in, accusing her of any number of foul and evil deeds.

What IS your personal vendetta against her? You have already proven that you are no one that I have ever spoken with before. I would not have tolerated such rude, obstinate and simply vicious behaviour.

Jack,

If you were to show emails how would you show them unedited? Any you forward or reproduce her could be altered to read ANYTHING. Child's play.

The only way to do it is to give everyone access to your email account so they can see the raw thing.

Reading and waiting for you, Acting Private Alpha.

Things have really gotten quiet. Is there a convention of call-centre workers, and their "groupies" going on somewhere?

Just imagine, 100 such people invited, but only needing 30 or so name tags.

You, sir, are wicked.

Maybe he has been caught surfing when he should be phoning...

I am sure "Meter Maid" is busy with her parking meters in the magical fairyland she lives in (ie Jack's head).

"Audrey" is probably at home with her "rabbit".

And here I am with a simple full-time job. I feel so left out.

I'm sure that soon enough, the circus troupe will return. Who knows, there may be more friends brewing in a simple mind.

Indeed, there is no show without Punch...

I guess I'll just sit back and wait for the next 'episode' then. It IS more entertaining than a lot of the Reality TV stuff.

Meanwhile, I've dropped a note to your friend with all the "L"s in her name. She seems like a fun one to get to know.

She does, and she comes from his home town, so maybe she has heard of the legend...

I am shocked at you. You two are brothers in arms and you don't blindly believe his tales of military prowess. Instead you choose to follow the facts and your gut instinct.

Have you no shame?

I've been a doubter of long-standing history. Even a priest requested that I no longer serve as altar boy.

I don't really need to see something to believe it. But it usually should be from this general realm, ... You know, the one without wizards, dragons and double-ought agents.
