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

What _is_ a 'garibaldi', Garibaldi? I run into the word every now and again, not counting Babylon 5 references. But,as it appears to be a European thing and I'm American, I haven't a clue what it is. Judging from context, it appears to be some kind of drink. (Ref. Camp Koala from the "Tank Girl" comics, quote, "Relax mate, have a garibaldi") Any hints?

I don't know. Being and Australian I wouldn't have a clue. I just borrowed the name from Babylon 5, like I am asumming you borrowed your's from Rocky Horror Picture Show

Fair enough

Garibaldi is the best character on Babylon 5!!!Shame about your hair though LOL

Sorry....the html didn't work LOL

Yeah shame about the hair.

B5 is still been shown here in Oz, albeit on and off depending on what sport or major event is happening. It was on for one week last week, this week is golf. Pity I missed the episode.

I like Garibaldi, especially when I wanted a laugh.

ahhh....well the whole series is being shown again on Scifi..so am taping every one The new spin-off series "Crusader" started here last week!Do you drink as much as Garibaldi then??!! The hair could be better I guess..but that's what it's like in real life(well maybe not so red)) LOL

*laughs*

I tried to drink on the weekend and ended up being sick. :-\ I can't wait to see the spin off, but I hear that only 13 episodes were made, which has made me upset.

Anyway, glad to meet another B5 fan.

Well..Crusader does not seem to have quite so much going for it..no Garibaldi for a start LOL.I'm sorry to hear that you're transmissions are intermittant...thats terrestial TV for you!!Try pointing your pc at the skies and see if you can receive it that way Failing that,download the "Seti" programme..than you too can talk to the stars
))

Ooh, SETI@Home, I want to do that. Just that everytime I am at home I keep forgetting to register and download the software.

I actually wanted to get into radio astrophysics, so I guess I could do SETI@Home instead

hehee...yes that would be a good start I got the prog but unfortunately my comp. is prehistoric..so I couldn't use the correct screen res.! ( If you get it please tell me how it goes Remember to keep a towel handy though..just in case LOL

Ah, so the SETI@Home software is like the electronic thumb. God, I never thought of it like that. I will have a while stack of towels near by then. (-:

Anyway, if for some reason I disappear of the face of the planet, you'll know I found something.

Cool Remember to tell them that I'm looking for a job!!..but a personal shuttle is a pre-requisite of my acceptance LOL

Mama Mia! Santo Cielo! Garibaldi wazza the saviour of Italia in the middle of the 19th century, who united North and South. He commanded The Red Shirts. Do you know nothing???? He was so famous that they named a biscuit after him, which is thin, crunchy and full of raisins, much like Garibaldi himself. Nowa you know! Colonials - whadda you do?

Thanks jan*

Now that I know, I will be more concious of it. Thanks for pointing out the error of my ways. I just thought it was a common Italian name, and since it appeared on my favourite show, Babylon 5, I thought I would use it.

Maybe Bab. 5 just made a play on words..Gary Baldie(knowing how he ends up it wouldn't surprise me I'm sure that you would never wear a red shirt..well not without sunglasses on anyway

You mean Grey And Balding?

Don't give anything away, or I will have to shoot you.

got to catch me first

Ha, that will not be hard, and also there won't be some ancient alien artifact that will bring you back from near death either

oh yeah...thats no way to describe yourself LOL
