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

I finally got around to HTMLing my site......not that I really wrote any of it, in fact it was more or less all direct theft, but hey, at least I can put in proper links now.........all that remains to be done is finding worthwhile things to put on there....the search continues......

Ooh, I completely missed this in the morning... Blame the blindness...

You really should try GuideML sometimes... And what about the stuff? I heard some 'stuff' mentioned the other day...

You and your Guide ML....I'm beginning to think that you're the Guide ML official spruiker.........and I've come to accept your blindness....
Stuff? Stuff's always being mentioned, I wonder which stuff this is.......

The stuff about you that was... Or was that only a promise you're not going to keep and just made to annoy me...

Oh...that stuff... And here I thought it was just a general, aimless complaint...........I can only do so many things you must understand....it took me at least five minutes to steal the source code from your page.....I can't just steal your life story as well, I have to make that.....I mean, remember it all myself....

Yes of course... Try not to use too much imagination, it might become too unbelievable... Which reminds me - how do you come up with all the names everywhere?!?!? I never manage to make up any names - the hardest part in making a rpg-character is to give it a name...

Are you saying I have an unbelievable imagination? Why thank you....
Names....it's a matter of consistency of tone....notice most of the Sundertanian names have similar elements....fl, er/ur, g/ng, consonant beginnings......but these sort of names are just of random people, it's much harder to give a name to a specific thing because you usually want it to carry meaning......

Well yes, you really do...
It's difficult for me to come up with even random names... What I wonder is how do you pronounce the sundertandian names? In English it seems impossible...

*blushes*

A-li-en.....
Flam-gin-don (hard g)
Gif-ling-ber (hard g/soft ng)
Flin-gin-foo-dle (hard g)
Ham-bil-god-le (hard g/'dark' first l)
Din-kl-ber-ger (dark l/hard g)
Han-fel-bur-tle
Sin-gon-e-ven (hard g)
Med-frel (light l)
Jun-kle-ham-den (J as in Finnish J/ light l)

A light l is like in 'Le', a dark l is like in hill, a hard g is like in got.

Oookay... They just seemed much more easier to say in Finnish...

Once again I take your word for it...

Aww...

Exactly....you don't (yet) know what I look like, and I don't know what you sound like......

Hey, you can't compare those things... I don't know what you sound like either...

But at least you know what English generally sounds like....

You could find a Finnish movie and hear how it sounds like...

Any favourites? Gold rush in Lapland perhaps?

Or perhaps not... I don't know, hardly ever watch Finnish movies...

I'll keep an eye out on the foreign language channel here....in the meantime I'll have to get by with those photos of you in costume that you're going to scan.....

I am? Who told you that?
