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

I was just wondering that earlier today.

I know one word that rhymes with 'evil', and that's 'weevil' (2-2).

Does anyone else know words that rhyme with 'evil'?

Um.. rhymes with evil? It's a pity devil doesn't (you little deevil) - you haven't seen my (constantly changing and you can do nothing about it) weevil game rules then?

(Oh no, I accidentally mentioned weevils)

No, I haven't seen the official rules, but I'll check you rhome page.

Oh, Lord, I'm really getting a good laugh out of all this.

Yes, but for some reason at the moment I can't think of how it's speeled. Knivel? (As in Eevil Kneevil and his son Robby Kneevl -- the motorcycle daredevils. )

Dare deevils?

Medieval (it's taken me all day to come up with that - I knew weevil couldn't be the only answer.) Sorry, I sort of discounted Kneevil as it's a proper name...

Weevil Kneevil - the motor-cycling dare-devil of the beetle world?

Wouldn't he/she be more of a Blue Angel kinda thing?

You've lost me there - explain please.

Well, Mr O'Teen - you didn't need your sneaky what rhymes with evil formum after all - you won by a clear margin (see your user page discussion for final score).

So what is my forfeit?

Amazing. I didn't even seek to elist assistance from anyone. Never underestimate the power of the way words sound.

I'll check the results in a little bit. I have to meet someone for coffee at the moment, which sucks because you're online at the moment and I wouldn't mind chatting. As it's Sunday, I guess you won't be online for much longer. I'll check the moment I get back, though.

Ah, real life. You lucky so-and-so. Enjoy. i shall be snoring by the time you return.

Phooey. You're gone now. Ah well. By the way, his name is spelled 'Evel Knievel', but the 'Weevil Knievel' line is hilarious. Why didn't I think of that one? Perhaps I was less interested in what rhymes with 'evil' than with scoring points. Ah, me.

To contribute, then: primeval, retrieval, upheaval

I taught my primeval weevil, Weevel Knievel, retrieval.

Well, it's 5:00am your time (9:00pm here). Think I'll go play Final Fantasy VIII for a while, then hit the hay. 'Night, folks.

g'nite (nice page ).

Hey, it's morning again! That was quick.

Hey how come I totally missed all these postings - strange, especially the v. silly (but funny) retrieval weevil bit... I'm not a very observant penguin...

I would hazard a guess that you were probably distracted by something even siller somewhere's else.

I take it you're home from work now. Cripes, I haven't even gone for lunch yet.

I've been back for a bit now - totally shattered at work and had to sneak out a touch early. Had a bit of a lie down on the sofa, spot of telly - and now back to this place - the magnetic draw of it...

Lunch - blimey that was hours ago.And I've had my tea as well.

Just got back from lunch. haven't had any coffee yet this afternoon. Gonna need some in about an hour or so to get me through the rest of the day.

I've decided (rather unsurprisingly) to open a rather cheeky little bottle of wine. I have this silly knack of getting drunk on a Thursday night and having to struggle through work on Friday. And it got to 8.30 and well, it's only wine. I mean it's medicinal really.

As I live so close to France - and booze is considerably cheaper there, especially the really poor quality French red wine - I tend to pop over the Channel every now and again and buy a few cases of wine to keep me going - so unfortunately there is nearly always something alcofrolic here to drink.
