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

well, it seems that we have collected quite a few odd human sayings throughout the past few weeks
the time has come to extend our collection to a new page
a clown is born every minute.....
class clown.......
clowning around......

nobody here? I'd figure this sight would be "As busy as a two cent hooker"... Just "Putting my two cents in"... "The poor man is not he who is without a cent, but he who is without a dream"... "I have a dream"

hasn't got a "pot to piss in"..........
good as gold.......
poorer than dirt.......
his cup overflows........
not for all the tea in china.......
worth as much as a wooden nickle......
the cup is half full.....
or as a pesimist sees it..the cup is half empty......

I feel as useful as tits on a fish. (Viz Magazine, 99th edition...)

Well.....I'd say..

"It's about time"!
It took "A month of Sundays" to load this before......on YOUR computer!LOL

I'd definitely say this is "New and Improved"! The old site had gotten "As slow as Christmas". But I knew you'd eventually "Fish out" the problem and "Slay the Dragon" which had "Overwhelmed the masses"!

NM

Talk about "long-winded," "slower than molasses," "any slower and I'd be dead by now!"

Well, we had "too much of a good thing." "My cup runneth over". It's good that we're not "putting all our eggs in one basket." Things seem better at this site, but it's best not to "count your chickens before they hatch." I'd make a smiley, but my mother warned me that if I kept making that face, my face might freeze like that. And my browser has given me enough freezes!!

"The Damage is done" .... "I'm only Human on the inside" .... "If looks could deceive" .... "going to extremes" ....

All thanks to the Pretenders!

"I gotta' get my boots on, the s**ts gettin'deep in here!"

"I'm standin' in the middle of life with my past behind me."
Well, not QUITE the middle, but it's coming up too fast for my liking. Ah, well, we can't be "spring chickens" forever. Because you "only live once", but "youth is wasted on the young". "With age comes beauty" and "when I was your age...."

Haha. I think I'll stop there. Sheesh, and I'm not even 30 yet!!

Must do Christmas cards now. "Time's a wastin'". "Waste not want not", they say. And while "Time is relative", my calendar tells me that if I don't mail these things soon, no one will get them...

Haha! Everyone grab a shovel!!

Well, for fear of "flogging a dead horse" on the Pokémon issue, I'm going to say that Zippy has finally gone and sat in his Poké Ball. I "just had to put my two cents in" ... whoops, that's been done.

"Don't kick a Pokémon when it's down", now. "It's not big and it's not clever"...

"I'll keep this short and sweet". "No sense in dragging this out". Sorry to say, I believe that Pokemon is "mearly a moment in time". It will survive it's "15 minutes of fame", and then "fade to black".

This is as it has been for "as long as I can remember". Every popular video game ever concieved has "died a slow death", only to be replaced by some "young upstart" which "made a name for it's self" using new technology and "a bunch of fancy gizmoes".

"May it rest in peace" "when it's time comes"!

NM

FINE! I'll leave!

Cumon' YK......"Don't get your undies in a twit"! I honestly have nothing against Pokemon(how DO you get the slash on your e?).Ain't nobody here really "dissin'" Pokemon. "Heck Far", I've got a stepson who "eats and breaths" it. If I can handle it live, "Memorex" is a "walk in the park"!

Please remain, and join us in our endeavor......a "mind game" of sorts. "I think, therefore I am" enjoying this entirely too much!!!

NM

It looks like our friend has "risen like a Phoenix". It's "the second coming" of Pokemon for us here at H2G2. We may not all be the biggest fans of the game, but "it takes all kinds to make the world go round." So, let's all be kind, because "what comes around goes around" and "every dog has his day."

Oooh, look, a cliche (that trick with the "e" would come in handy now)... anyway, a cliche in every box. Whatever that means.

Is this a'kin to "a chicken in every pot"?

You'll find no animosity in me...."Fun is my middle name"! I'm only "pullin' his leg", or would "yankin' his chain" be more apropo?

It is my nature to "Poke(mon) fun" when I can! "no harm intended".

I hope he returns to "take his lickins'". He's seems to have "opened a can of worms",and I would hate to think he "Gave up without a fight"! It would not be "keeping with his Karma"!

NM

Hmm... do you really want to know? All right then... there is a secret in the "buis" that if you hold down the alt button, and then press letters on the numberpad in a certain order, certain letters with accents will appear...

alt+ 130 = é
atl+ 131 = â
132= ä
133= à
134= å
135= ç
136= ê
137= ë
138= è
139= ï
140= î
141= ì
142= Ä
143= Å
144= É
145= æ
146= Æ
147= ô
148= ö
149= ò
150= û

From now on, I will just put the symbol, in succession from 150 up:

151-160
ù____________í
ÿ____________ó
Ö____________ú
Ü____________ñ
¢____________Ñ
£____________ª
¥____________º
P____________¿
ƒ_____________
á____________¬

Heck... if you need any more, go to my page... I'm doing an official piece (yeah)

Ummmm.... hate to "burst your little pink bubble", but those of us with Macs don't HAVE an alt key. We DO have an apple key, and an option key. And my keyboard also talks (types) in several languages (US or UK English, French, Swedish, Spanish, Finnish, etc) so the key combination that gives me one symbol in one default gives me a different symbol in a different default. So to get the £, I can use "Option 3" in US default or "Shift 3" in UK default. Does Windows have a similar option?

But now I'm boring EVERYONE, so just a quick note: to get the funny accent over the e, for all you Macintosh users, type thusly: and "e" at the same time, then let go the key and just hit "e" a second time. And voila, there you have it.

Right, I'll stop "running off at the mouth." It appears that "my train of thought has no caboose", and I don't want to "bore the pants off" of anyone. So goodnight, all.
