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

Confusion is my middle name.

It's my first, though I'm not sure why.

What? So now you'll be Confused Phaid the Deranged (and silly) ...

No - you can change your nickname if you like - remember though, your signon name stays the same.

Ahha! so you're trying to confuse me! Well it won't work! I'm already confused!

If you think you're confused now, consider yourself lucky that you weren't here when they introduced Single Sign On

What's that? YOu weren't allowed on unless you were single?

What's SSO? You don't want to know - believe me

Whether I believe you or not is irrelavent. I ALREADY don't know. I guess, if it was all that bad, than I'm happy I don't have to deal with it now. I get confused easily enough as it is!

I'd suggest to ignore all the "old days" and "you don't want to believe" issues anyway. SSO wasn't half as bad as Rupert anyway.

Traveller in Time on his head
"And the down only lasted for 4.2 hours. "

I forgot Rupert

A severe case of selective memory ....

Okay, so...Rupert is bad as well. Got it. I'll be on the look out. What? About 5'4", balding, thick glasses? Why was he down for 4 hours? I know! He has REALLY big feet, with which he tripped himself up, then proceeded to bump his head quite hard, causing him to loose consciousness. Am I close?

Somewhere there is a page which details the history of the different incarnations of hootoo - if I find it I'll let you know

Ah-ha!!

Not the one I'm looking for but all the above bits of jargon are explained at A632431 - it's probably a good idea to bookmark it

And run screaming, if I see any of it coming back around, right?

You got it!

Thanks! I did read about SSO and Rupert (amongst other things. It was almost informative!
