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

Yay!

Today's front page, I mean. I think that project has been almost a year in the making. And now it's done done done done done.


Thanks to all that made it possible, etc etc, and thank you all for joining me here to celebrate, do have some







And of course, can't celebrate without the food:



Help yourselves.

Great stuff.

Oooh a party -

Congratulations!

Well done, Leo!

That was a monster of a project, and put together so very, very well. I'll bet you're feeling thoroughly relieved it's done!!

*helps herself to *

oooh waydogo leo

I've got a project a bit like that on the go but very slow in the making regarding Monroe and other Hollywood greats. I take my hat off to you.

Ooh, FP all weekend! Well done that Leoa of a project



*looks at table*

Ooh, I'll have those *munch* and some *sups*

*sneaks off with the *

Leo I've noticed the entries aren't live so I've reported that at EF.


Also, 11 of the 12 are solo efforts so I've added up your solo edited entries including todays and I make it 25. Would you confirm this is correct/wrong before I report this for your 25 solo EGE badge, please?

*chomp*

Well, of course you can report it yourself if you want: A709120
*slaps self with *
Apologies, I'm such an for helping people get their badges.

I knew I forgot something - the entertainment! Thanks for fill the gap, Pailaway.


Live? Not live? What's dead about the entries? I did notice that I haven't got a Uni researcher badge. I wasn't going to kick up a kerfluffle right away, though. I was going to wait long enough so it seems like I don't really care but...

I counted on my fingers and used my calculator and only came up with 24 solo entries, and then I realized I should have used my abacus... and ding, there was 25. So exciting! A shiny gold badge! And I thought it didn't get better than this...

Oh wait, I see what you mean by "not live". They're all still down as "pending".

But I'm forgetting my hostess manners. Pleasure before business. Can I offer you some , Wilma?


Hey Opti - as long as you know that it's slow going, you're OK. I thought this one would be done in three months. And It's more like 11 since I first hatched the idea. When I think about it, I question my sanity.

I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to Leo for an amazingly well-designed and well-written project that is still, after subbing, a pleasure to read. It's terrific to see it finally on the Front Page and I think it's safe to say that it can go down in history as one of h2g2's greatest.

Absolutely!

standing ovation








while everyone clamours "Speech!"

yay hey

(staggers into party)

..... nice party, folks ...

cheers Leo .... this is some breakfast ...

(slinks to the h2 front page (after a year's retirement) ...to see what she's celebrating ...)

(slinks back from front page .. reeling and swaying ... having discovered what Leo has been up to all these months ... good heavens ...... )

(munches , and waits for speech) ...

(heads back to retirement ... to consider Leo, Lion-photos, The New Yorker .. Education, Research and breakfast coffee )

Grandma H (last seen somewhere south of 1990)

Well done, Leo!

Oh dear, I'm blushing. Thank you Echo. (That's the subbie who did such a marvelous job, everyone.)

"Marvelous job"? *bats eyelashes* aww, thank you.

*Decides to celebrate before reading*





I know nothing about The New Yorker, but the project definitely looks interesting, and I know you write very well. So I will maybe at the end of the day know something about this magazine .

That would make me the cause of you learning something new. Wow. Such responsibility...

If you're looking for good writing, may I recommend the EB White entry? He was an excellent writer, and I included some samples.

They're all live now and you have a shiny new badge!

I have one shiny new badge. I should have two. Oh dear.
