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

Yay for big hair!

(Except on small people, where it just makes them look like gonks.)

Hmmm... and orange and black cats...

Greebs..xx

*after sustained efforts over many years to avoid big hair - at least horizontally - decides to ignore the 'yay'*

Depends if you're a fluffy cat or a slinky cat.

So you're fine with vertical big hair? You trying for a mohawk or something? Or do you mean the dangly kind of long hair?

(What's come over me? Why such fierce interrogation on matters folicular? Probably jealousy. I had hair too once upon a time.)

Oh me is quite fluffy cat.. ~grin~

Awix you said that wrong... it should have been...



Once upon a time Awix had hair.

The End


Shortest story ever... ~grin~

Greebs..xx

Vertical hair downwards, silly. (only very small select group of people are allowed the other sort)

I don't like sad stories, tell me one with a happy ending.

Once upon a time there was Awix. Then he bought a PC and joined h2g2 where he met a lot of wonderful people some of whom were even prepared to be his friends.

The End (so far)

One upon a time in the great land of Hootoo there lived a dashing young prince. This prince, who went by the name of Awix the Venerable... or Awix the Soppiest, cosiest thing ever... or upon occasion Awix the ploppy bum, lived in a great castle at the very top of a very tall Hill. The Hill had a name, but no one could ever remember it, so it was always referred to as the Hill.

The Prince was much loved by his subjects, waited on hand and foot... and sometimes paw and paw... and wanted for nothing.

Now Prince Awix particularily enjoyed the company of felines, and whilst we are being so particular we shall name two of them... Princess Catwoman a regal beauty from a distant shore and Princess Greebo... the other one.

The three royal persons would while away the days, enjoying gentle pursuits and quiet conversation... watching life go by and occasionally feeding doughnuts to Princess Greebo... who liked them enormously.

One day, whilst conversing on matters of great importance, Prince Awix, Princess Catwoman and Princess Greebo decided that their story should have a happy ending.

... and so it did...

They lived happily ever after...

The End

Bravo, Greebs - but if you think I'm changing my nickname to Awix the Ploppy Bum you are gravely mistaken!

Alas, I think we shall miss Catwoman's trenchant wit over the next few weeks...

The only thing I have to say about that is that since Greebo is a semi-Discworld reference, she should be aware of being 'the other one', since the three stages of witches were maiden, mother, and 'other one'...

Ah yes, the Triple Goddess - nicked from Jung - that is, if a subconscious archetype can be said to be nicked at all...

Heavens, listen to all this New Age psychobabble I'm coming out with! I've been reading too much Neil Gaiman again...

'venerable' is probably the male equivalent of 'the other one'.

Thought you ought to know... *thud*

big s

~Greebo dives in~

Me just wubbles a huggle

Greebs..xx

I am feeling my age and decrepitude this week, so if any of those s are aimed my way, be careful not to pop any ribs.

I even have begun sculpting big fat guts onto my model soldiers so we have more in common.

So we would have a bit of a problem actually getting near your ribs, then?

Ribs... what are those???? ~Greebo ponders the strangeness of humans...~

Greebs..xx

You have ribs too, unless you're Bagpuss. (which I doubt, you not being pink and everything)
Just smaller ribs.

And fewer, too, I suspect (unless the human you're comparing yourself to is Cher or Jane Fonda).
