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

Hello Abbi's Twin. Welcome to this slightly strange little world!
Whatever Abbi tells you about me is probably right, but don't hold that against me!

(Come on in, sit a spell, take your shoes off, y'all come back now y'hear!)

Hi Twinny!! Hello from me too - I'm Ellen. Just had to come by and welcome you aboard! Abbi is such a dear person, she's great to talk to. I thrilled to have a chance to get to know you too. Do stop by my page - especially if you like movies - I'm a big movie fan.

JEllen (Don't be fooled by Mad Hamish's accent - he's really an Aussie. I on the other hand, really am from the south, y'all)

Sorry if this winds up a multiple post - I keep getting error messages.

Jellen, hey! I'm from the south! You lot don't have a monopoly on Southness y'know. I think South eastern Oz qualifies as "more south" than the Memphibians!
MH
(Mind you, we don't have the cool southern drawl thing goin' on like you lot!)

Hi Hamish and Twinny!

Hmm, I guess you are right, being in the southern hemisphere as you are.

yup, but there's more than enough to go 'round!

MH
('till the damn Yankees have their way!!)

Look out for them carpetbaggers!

I used to tease my cousin from the north when she said "pop" instead of "Coke". In the south, every soft drink is a Coke.

"What kind of Coke ya want?"

"Sprite"

"Ok, hun"

Really, that's the power of multinationals I suppose! I guess when things are large enough for long enough, they just become part of the collective culture eh?

MH
(I'll have a Pepsi coke thanks???)

Oh, I thought it was because Coca Cola is based in Atlanta. I went through the airport there on the way to Washington one time, and there was tons of Coca Cola memorabilia for sale. *Making me thirsty*

Well I dunno really! I wasn't aware that Coke was based in Atlanta, so maybe that's it then eh?

MH
(I love Coke too, but did you know that it will dissolve an in tact adult human tooth if left submerged for 24 hours! Freaky, I've tried it!)

Just to add, Hello (again).
All my scottish relatives call every soft drink juice, even water. But are extremely careful to correctly name all alcoholic beverages.

That'd be a case of priorities then TM? Who cares what you call soft drinks etc, but ya gotta get the grog names right! They are Scots after all.

MH
(A "Case of Priorities" is not a crate of booze by the way!)

Priorities I see the pssibilites, a new booze called priorities withe an ad tag line that goes:

At least I got my priorities right.

You could sell "mixer drinks" called "Mixed Priorities" or you could call someone who was vomitting as having "misguided priorities".

MH
(I'll have a priority and Coke please...shaken not stirred!)

Alcoholics anonymous.........Where you leave your priorities at the door!

It'd add new zing to 'office talk'. "I'll have to go and re-arrange my priorities." OR "Re-arranged my priorities last night, man, do I have a head ache!"

MH
(I'll have non-carbonated, single malt, priorities thanks!)

" the priorities in our relationship were not correct, so I bought a case. Now we are selebrating our 75th wedding aniversary!"

priorities.....when you get them right who knows where you can go!
Those under the age of 18 are expected to have misaligned priorities, therefore the sale of this alcoholic beverage has been banned.

Here's one bordering on poor taste
"Hey mate your priorities are up your a**!"
"Yeah, well, it was the only way to smuggle booze into the cinema!"

MH
(Running low....?)

"Bordering" on bad taste???

Priorities makes for good medicine, better than scotch in a hot toddie! But good medicine always has a *bad taste*!
