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

Oh.

Anyway, I cobbled together an issue using that Penniped entry
and two that I found by spending an hour or so with the Random Entry thingie.

Now I've got to start looking for stuff for next week, unless one of you can come up with some entries or
an issue of thine own.

I found this the other day, A933888. Which I thought deserved a lot better than a PR rebuff and burial.

The author's not altogether Elvis either. He/she (not making that mistake again) seems to be in sporadic correspondence with the Trout.

With current spare time and my speed of thought it would be three weeks before I'd have an issue ready using it. So if you, or anyone else, likes it and wants to use it - feel free.

Had some unexpected free time this evening and went searching and found this, A2060380, sort of spoof comic strip.

Also some hat connected bits: Spooky man in a hat A830945, a hat A1338536, and a rather neat hat cure A1146304.

Shall I slap it together, then?

Would you like to provide some short words of comment on each and I
will shlep the bits into an issue?

I did take a look at one of those and found I just wasn't able to focus. I read a couple of lines and my brain simply shut down. It's not the entries fault, I just seem to have ants in my pants and spiders in my brain and I can't concentrate on anything. I blame the Bush administration.

My attention span is shorter than...

I am unable to handle any question or thought deeper than might be expected of a social butterfly.

Right now the most profound intellectual query I can formulate is, "What's the LL stand for Waz?"

Okay, I'll take this one.

The hat stuff I'll leave to someone else.

Sorry, I don't feel like using this one, either.

this is what I ended up with.

It looks good. I read every word.
Every word you wrote. You have a
compelling style.
Not the links though.
Like I said, I got this headblock, eh.
But I read what you did.
And I noticed the thingy from the template is still showing. Not sure if that's an oversight at this point.

Ehh. Thanks hadn't noticed that.
Trying to get my own column done.
Weird last couple of days again. Uvula sick again, though apparently better today.

I'll to have a go with the hats on Wednesday tr.

My niece has been having bouts of sickness - ended up in hospital last time because she got dehydrated. Diagnosis - Unresolved Pain. Helpful, huh?

jwf the LL is just the LooselyLately I was too profoundly lazy to put back in full. Which in a non intellectually vague fashion resembles a family nickname.

I think advice on the importance of getting your choice of nickname right should be carved on those help pages .

LLW

Nickname advice? Pleh.

Well Wednesday's finished five minutes ago and even if I hadn't flooded the kitchen the Hats would've had to wait. You're getting left to do them all just now, I'm sorry about that.

I have an idea of something to go with the hats but I want to have a proper go at it and I won't have the time that that will take me before next Wednesday now. Won't even have access to a pc Friday through to Monday.

This is not a problem. Take all the time you need.
There will not be a Post next week.

I have started filling in the blanks on one of the templates I created at my own space. So far I have one submission, a poem, left at the AggGag 'contribute' page earlier today.

Flame-of-gold has presented me with a piece which I have added to the poem mentioned above and put together as an issue at A2601992.

BUT WAIT, do not ship it off to just yet. I know we have some time so let Flame-o-gold make any final minor adjustments to her new piece and I will let you know when it's ready.

It really is fine the way it is, but I've suggested a couple of very minor changes she might like to consider. I just wanted you guys to know there is an issue 'almost' ready when needed. And I thought you'd enjoy reading her story. It really is very good.

Right-o.
Thanks.
I went ahead and did an EPD. I was in the mood and I like being a bit ahead.
Don't wait too long, Jwf.
Saturday would be about right.

She tells me she has made some changes. So I'll go have a look and see if it's ready and let you know. But if I get sidetracked I'd say whatever is there on Saturday will be fine.
