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

Need I say more?

So... Am I in?

Hello Alien. May your weevils party whenever they damn well feel like it. I guess its up to the Weevilmeister to confirm you in the CotTW but you sound just the sort of pers.... being to spread the message of the Church. I think that you should consider what office you wish to take in the likely event of your investiture. I, for instance, am the Peripatetic Proselyte of the Lambic Brewing Weevil and Zonker is.. well you know what Zonker is.
Boswell thinks that your quote generator might put Bohemian Quoting Weevils out of work. I have assured him that people are unlikely to wander about with a quote generator before their eyes and that, in any case, a random quote is no substitute for one which is wonderfully apposite.

I did think about the title earlier but couldn't come up with one, and have occasionally thought it since my first post in the other forum but after all pondering I still have no idea what sort of weevil-related alien I could be... But I guess I still have some time to think about it since the Weevilmeister hasn't spotted me yet...

Don't fret about being noticed by the Weevilmeister, Alien. He's likely working out the details for our newest holiday, The Feast of the Ancestors, that you probably read about in another thread. I don't think that you'll be denied entry. Keep thinking about your title.

Dr. D

I'm most _dreadfully_ sorry for my latest absence. Work got very intense for the last week or so and I've been rather neglectful of my weevil duties of late.

Let me just jump right on this and get myself up to date here.

By the way, I'm still working on the holiday. I'll let everyone know when the first draft is ready.

We sure do love weevils, don't we?

Yes we do!!!

Dr. D

That wasn't fair to put me on the page without a title... Now I have to find one quickly... *thinks a bit* Perhaps it was a clever move after all...

But okay, after all pondering I just decided to be (more or less cleverly...) the "Guardian of Alienated Weevils"...

And I didn't mean "weave" in the other thread... I meant weeve... See, I told you no one believes me... I think it's obvious weevils weeve... At least they should...

But I'd better start concentrating on learning more about weevils and the weevilholidays... Haven't had time to read it all...

Weevilmeister? Is there such a thing as an "alienated" weevil? And what would they be alienated from?

Dr. D

I was expecting that... But if there aren't any alienated weevils, always better!! I'm just there in case some exceptional weevils are in danger to lose contact to other weevils and to marzipan gin... You never know what will happen when some young weevils get weird ideas in their small heads...

OK, Alien, you are now known as Alien, Guardian of Alienated Weevils. Bear in mind that it's not necessary to think of a permanent title on the spot. You can change your title at any time.

I'm sure that, in this great big world of ours, there must somewhere be weevils alienated from something (through no fault of their own, of course). However, we now have Alien to be ever watchful for such unfortunate weevil souls, and to protect them from feeling bad. Perhaps even preventing them from overindulging in the marzipan gin department in a misguided attempt to drown their little weevil sorrows. Now they can be reunited with whatever the hell they were alienated from in the first place, thus bringing them back to the world of great parties, good friends, and the occasional hedgehog.

*goes interviewing nearby weevils, but doesn't find any alienated ones*

All is well!!

Yay!

Kensington says, *yay*.

You are not likely to find any around here Alien. It might be a good idea to put together a searching party.

Dr. D

A searching party... Not a bad idea... "Save Alienated Weevils"-project...

We Love Weevils! Even Alienated ones!

Dr. D

Gosh, Zonker, you're getting mighty... enthusiastic... about weevils.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. Weevils are most worthy of friendship the sharing of scrumptious digestive biscuits.

Are alienated weevils the same as socially excluded weevils? We at the Museum of Weevil-related Stuff (currently closed for refurbishment) are working on outreach projects for our more disadvantaged weevil brethren - y'know, workshops, oral histories and stuff. Details to follow...





maybe

Hey Nick? Are you aware of any incidents of weevils casting other weevils out of society? I don't think it's possible but, you never know.

Dr. D

You know, weevils are such wonderfully considerate and compassionate creatures that, even if there were incidents of weevils being cast out and being alienated, they really wouldn't want us to get upset or worried about them, such are their bold spirits. This is precisely why we must rescue such weevils.

However, although I'm sure that such deplorable things must happen to some weevils somewhere in this great big world, I haven't yet learned of any instances of this actually happening.

Nevertheless, we (and Alien, particularly) must always remain vigilant. Just don't forget to spend some quality time with the weevils you already know and love.
