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

I'll send you a postcard as soon as I've bought one and worked out the postage

grate idia!!!

i'll send u a postcard of our nation capitol...
jerusalem
i bet u dont have one of those...

Since that's where Lady P is... Actually, she probably *doesn't* have one of Jerusalem!

When we get a new set of keys (forgot to get mine back from the inlaws) and I can go out, I'll get and send one

I'll try and get one of the Goodyear Blimps!

Will do

Nothing suspicious,GB, about bookstore,except maybe some people you might see there hunched over their coffee and books... Ginger , .. ... .

And the time warp just inside the door

This place is for real...

and also:..sorry, I do not know how to do 2 cut & paste at same time...

COOL! One, or two, or so, from Arizona coming soon!

I know Powell's is real--I'm just referring to the fact that time goes faster in there! (OK, so that's true for any bookstore, but doubly so for Powell's)

hmmm... its a tough decision Yael. Do you want the ones that come cut in the shape of a pita with an Israeli flag sticking out? Or would a camel in the desert go better with your room's color scheme?

Or I could just yank the postcard of Paris off the wall over my roommate's bed. Does that count? (they could probably use an invasion too.)

hey, when they all arive, invite me over for hte wallpapering ceremony.

Wow guys, this is SO neat! WHEEEE!!!

Anyone asking for preferences - anything goes. If you're not sure, just send two!

Shahaf, don't be silly. I want one of Kfar Saba, of course!

Leo, you better send me one when you get back home too, then... I can wait.




Um, what else? *Skims thread* Oh yeah, Amy, I actually do have a postcard of Jerusalem now... I bought it in a used book store I love, which also has old postcards. It was written in '68, and has a picture of Mount Scopus on it, before they built all the ugly new university buildings.
Terri, would you like me to do another collage one for you? Do you have a 'standard' one at all, actually?







I wonder if I can find any postcards with badgers on them?

Well, I'll have to go to the post office early next week, so I might as well make the most of the opportunity. Count me in... When I get around to dealing with my email backlog, you'll have one of those too.

Right, so far we have:

England (a few locations)
US (a few locations)
Canada
Finland
France
Israel(?)
Japan
Australia

(and Ireland, if GB stops being so paranoid about this and lets me make my invasion plans)

I could, if you realy want of course, also send you one once I'm back in the Netherlands, adding another country to the list (does it count if you get 2 from different locations from the same researcher). You would have to wait at least another month though before I could get around mailing it, reason being they don't have that many dutch postcards here (wonder why, don't they have those everywhere?)

Well, I don't really think it can 'count' or 'not count' - the more the better...

Thanks everyone. This is awesome.


Oh, I've started a folder for this on my Fotki album: http://public.fotki.com/LadyPennywhistle/the_postcard_project/ (doesn't have too much on it so far, but it will hopefully be updated)


And just to add to GB's suspicions... I'm getting a strong urge to get myself a big map and start sticking pins on it.

OH! Dear!..I am leaning over my keyboard strongly chanting a mantra of happy thoughts..you know?..[pins & voodoo] heaven forbid!.....from Gentle Genger.... .... .. .

>>and Ireland, if GB stops being so paranoid about this and lets me make my invasion plans<<

Aha proof!

Well, it would be better than the current Irish government, I suppose.

Ah the hell with it, I'll send one!

England, England, what is this England. Yorkshire is a country unto its self
