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

Mmmmm. Roo fillets cooked medium rare in a red wine jus with steamed asparagus spears. Does life GET any better than this?

Well, for Skippy maybe...

WHERE DID YOU GET 'ROO FILLETS FROM!? I've looked all over this town, but I obviously haven't been looking in the right places..!

I want to say something else, but am too overcome with ravenousness...

We were at dinner last night at a very fine restaurant in the city -Touch restaurant in the Melbourne Building (Canberra, Australia non-locals)- and I couldn't resist... although the whole time I kept hearing 't t t t' in the back of my mind

Ah! Cool. Birthday dinner, I take it...?

Nothing gets past you does it...

I prefer to think that nothing gets TO me, bubsterous one...

Never had it. Had osterich several times. Never 'roo.

Hmmmmmmm.... I'm not sure what I think of that. Do they taste good? I mean, it sounds to me a lot like eating rabbit. I don't know.

Buffallo is good.

'Roo tastes good - very, very good. It's a bit like a gamey sort of steak, although less bright red and much tougher if poorly cooked (a problem which bubster evidently didn't have at the restaurant he was eating at...).

Far out, man, two hours since breakfast and I'm already hungry for dinner...

am i missing something?? roo, as in kangaroo?? eating kangaroo??
AA

Oh dear, I should have looked away like bubster told me

Kate never listens. Even when it's good for her.

*Particularly* when it's good for me, actually!

Perhaps I should mention that it was TofuRoo...

I mean, it wasn't, but perhaps I should mention that it was.

That's definitely you, bubster: a model of discretion if ever there was one...!

Yes indeedy. I have no discretion, but I have a model of one.

*seeking the soul of discretion...*

't t t t'...

...'nah-nah nah-nah, nah-nah, nah nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah, nah-nah, nah nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah, nah-nah...'

I've had snake, gator, osterich, buffolo, deer, chicken, cow, fish, shrimp, turkey, worms, crickets, sea monkeys....

But i've never had SPAM!!!!!

LOL, Hypo! I remember having to play along to that with castanets, tambourines and triangles in second grade at Red Hill Infants school...

'What's that, Skip? Lebanese terrorists have highjacked the helicopter and are plotting to unleash chemical weapons all over Warratah National Park?'
