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

Those are serious chin-whiskers, Fenchurch. I think you've set the standard there: beards, handlebar moustaches, and muttonchop sideburns for everyone!

Really? Wow...I thought that it was a pretty negative thing at first, you know, with my mom choking on her drink and then my boyfriend going into cardiac arrest...but if you like it enough for everyone to do it...wow. I feel better already...

Good! Beards can be fun. And remember: one never starves, who has a beard. Soak it for ten minutes and... voila!... soup.

J-the-G: Remind me never to accept a dinner invitation to your house!

Fenchurch: Love the new hair. Perfect for a pitcher. Thanks for mentioning my team on your page, by the way.

Ok, E@R, I added you to the team as catcher. You and Fenchurch had better get together and discuss signals.

Maybe we need to recruit a team cook. Anyone but J-T-G will be fine by me. Soup a'la hair of the chin. Yukky.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I've been in a couple. So I could make a fairly good look out.
What kind of technical consulting you ask? Well, I think it is best described as the.....erm.....it's most like the...ah.....hmm....
ah yes.... I would most definately say it's of the technical kind.

Well, I just signed up Kat to server refreshments. But watch out for monkey hairs in the lemonade!

That should have been "serve," not "server."

Stupid posting without previewing...

Don't worry about it! My toungue does not fall under the management structure of my brain at all, but I seem to get by.... And I prefer lemonade with monkey hairs - they add texture...

Does J-T-G's hair soup have too much texture?

It's not the hairs I'm worried about with that - it's what's in the hairs!!!

Why, those are the special soup flavor-crystals, of course! I just found one in my beard...I didn't know they grow so fast!

Aye, there's the rub. The nice thing about a big bushy beard is that small amounts of anything you eat inevitably find refuge in it. In an emergency (or just for fun), you have the ingredients for nostalgia soup a la whiskers. In winter, in these northern latitudes, one can simply snap a piece off.

[Editors note: John-the-Gardener doesn't really eat beard soup. The reason he no longer has a beard has nothing to do with his having eaten it].

Well, I guess I shouldn't start up a beard soup team.

I'm an available second base man if you want one. I'm not very good at tending the base but I have an uncanny ability to catch line drives when they go straight to me. Not only that, but I already have a goatee and sideburns.
As for my other position, put me down as "revenue generator" I wear glasses, so I figure when we need a little cash I can get hit in the face with a ball, break my glasses, pretend to go blind and sue.

Welcome aboard moonjack! If you study the roster closely, you'll notice the very first person is our second baseman. However, we still need a designated hitter, relief pitcher, rover (short center fielder), or any other number of non-softball positions. Make another choice........as for your secondary position, how about lawyer? You don't need any experience, you just have to sue, sue, sue.....and pretend you know what you are talking about when you give out legal advice.

By the way, how did you find this forum thread?

Beats me. Now that I look at it, I didn't even read the article before you mentioned the list. Actually, though... Now that I look at it, I'm not sure I could find the time to play. Mebbe I'll just be the team lawyer, call me when you need someone sued.

Good enough, you are now the team lawyer. Don't forget to stop by the clubhouse, where you can meet many other team members and convince them to stop by your own page and read your articles. I'll even get around to adding a law office for you at some point......
