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

Well well well, fancy meeting johnnyr and mrs. slartibartfast here.

I was only searching for 'macadamia' as I am thinking of writing a user page about them.

Anyway, my favourite nuts are macadamia nuts (no sick or crude jokes please, because I have thought of them all)

gidday Gazza
should nt be surprised to see mrs S here as its her forum
mind you i havnt seen her for a few days


theyre definitely best chocolate coated

Here in Oz we get macadamias (they originated here) dipped in yoghurt chocolate, coated in butter toffee (YUM) or (my favourite) hot with a light dusting of chili powder.
Great - if you like your nuts hot.

I just love everythign with Macadamia nuts in (well with in reason). I like raw unroasted ones, roasted, chocolate and macadamia, ice cream.

Also not only did they originate in Oz, they originated in my home state Queensland. Hence you may sometimes here them called the Queensland nut.

Eh? You recognise me? You know who I am? My fame is clearly more widespread than I dared imagine. Johnnyr doesn't ring any bells for me, so tell me a) if I have completely misunderstood the situation - a common occurance on planet Bazzy, or b) where the blinkin' 'eck you know me from.

Bazzy.

what's that got to do with macadamias? i'm lost.

Oh that's easy. *gets out his map* Ok, we are here, no hang on, *turns map upside down* Ok, we're here, and you need to go here. *turns pages, and map back up right way* Ops, wrong page. Ok, we are here, and you're there, so that makes this spot empty

now that can't be right. ugh!! give me that map if you will mr. garabaldi. oh i can't find it. do pull over and ask for directions!!!

Oh look, there is a macadamia nut farm. Lets stop there, eat up heaps, and then ask for directions. Or I could keep on going.

yes stopping is a good idea. i need to stretch. and i know how you like your nuts.

oh my. i hope my last post isn't taken out of context.

Too late for that one Mrs Slartibartfast.

*pulls the car over* Ok, lets get some Macadamia Nuts, well I get some macadamia nuts while you ask for directions.

wait a minute, this isn't a nut farm at all!!! run garabaldi!!!!!!

*starts to run*

Um, what sort of farm is it? Or shouldn't I ask?

I stumbled on this conversation and have read it, entry by entry, and I have no idea what it is about! Nuts, sqirrels, bovine, green grass? Have I foolishly chosen to reply to sheer nonsense? And if so, how should I reply. What input could I have to fit in here? ......I know? ....Has anyone read Animal Farm?

yeah, I think you hit it on the head, though I haven't read Animal Farm.

It's a great book, great title! But since it is about society, socialism and the weaknesses of capitalism, maybe I should have suggested Rudyard Kipling's Jungle book!

and a much gentler introduction to George Orwell than 1984. btw if you're going to read 1984 you have to read Aldous Huxley's A Brave New Wrold too, just so you get really depressed.

i'm afraid i can't read any of them as i am illi....illit........em i can't read.

that explains so much
