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

Hi, I've seen you're working on the shovel entry. I like the second rhyme, it made me laugh, but the first rhyme gives us a very good clue as to how long a shovel actually is, or rather the handle of the shovel.
Oh, and your sentence that Rabelais rhymes with Pailaway took me a moment to realise, cause at first, i pronounced Rabelais the French way, then took a guess at the English pronunciation of it

Hey, thanks for stopping by.

I'm still dithering about the rhymes - I'll probably figure out some way to include them both.

I've been collecting links to information on shovels in preparation to complete the entry - here's the first I found that was most unexpected:

That sounds very much like the sledges you can buy here for small children: they're made of plastic, formed like a large shovel blade or maybe a leaf and have a short broad handle.

Hi - dusty in here

How's the shovel entry coming along?

Oh, and I've ed a bit - looking forward to the Roswell entry you're working on.

The main reason I came here, though, is to say thank you for your enthusiasm and support in PR - I wouldn't have managed the last two entries without it. If it hadn't been for you and TC in the peal of bells entry, and you and cardi bling in the car entry, neither of them would be in the queue for the FP now.

Hey, thanks for stopping by - umm, it is a little dusty in here.

There are some entries that are easy to be enthusiastic about - yours are among these. On the car entry, it was great that you dug in your heels and refused to let it become a motorhead entry. Both Cardi-bling and I might have pushed to make it more minutely technical, but you chose put the car in a much broader context and the entry is much better as result.

I really should get to work on the Roswell entry - sigh. I finally came up with a beginning that I like, and the rest should be easy, if I would just get to it. Well, so I shall.

Well, I just finished up the Roswell entry - A18814548 - thanks for the needed prod.

and now

That's funny, I just read it and thought: oh, he has added quite a lot since I read this last time around. Must go and see what it is about the Habanero I shouldn't eat , which wasn't there 30 minutes ago.

Sleep well.

Hi, your entry is coming along nicely - and very convenient timing, too.

convenient timing - what could that mean, hmmm.... Oh

I think I'll just stroll over to that entry and see that it's tidy in case anyone stops by

From writing to Front Page in just three weeks

Congratulations, paily.

Thanks

That was very quick. Thanks for your help.

Now I guess I'll have to finish the one on shovels.

You know, the reason I started on shovels is because It's so completely mundane a topic and I thought it would be a good challenge to make something interesting of it. Hope I can.

Thanks again

It's a very good entry, and I didn't really help all that much.
Will be interesting to see what you'll make of that shovel entry
