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

*hands TK1 an Academy Award for the overstatement of the century*

Which bit?

TK[1]

Okay, I'll grant you the second bit as being subject to opinion therefore not judgeable, but the first part is a slight overestimation I mean, where's my fan club and my milions of pounds?

Well, I'm a pretty big fan club all by myself. And wealth is relative.

TK[1]

I wouldn't say you were a fan club... You don't have a t-shirt with my photo and bad slogan on it now, do you?

As a one- man fan club, we don't need T-shirts.We just know what we like.

TK[1]

Okay.

Awwh
You know I didn't mean it..

Y'know, I found out today that both of Kirsty's brothers inexplicably like me. They've only met me once. And that was a long time ago.

I've never met you, and I like you.

TK[1]

Awwh, I'd never really run away from you.. unless we were playing tag of course

But you know me. You've had multiple conversations with me. My dialogue with you has extended well and beyond "hello" and the last time I said that wan't 3 years ago...

2 player tag would be a little boring.

I can understand guys remembering you from one meeting, though...

TK[1]

My mother and I manage perfectly good games of two player tag...

Yes, but they're currently 13 and 15. They're not quite at /that/ age yet, methinks...

O.k...

Nah, just about right, I'd say.

TK[1]

Madness runs in the family, you see. It really annoys my stepdad when we try and include him in the game

You'd probably know more. My contact with males of that age gap is rather limited.

Surely 3-way just doesn't hit that spot when you're used to 2-way?

Well, I was one, once. Believe me, even a slightly pretty girl can make the blood rush out of your head (no coments as to where it goes) at that age. And you're not 'slightly pretty'. I don't know how I'd describe you instead, but there'd be an "astoundingly" in there somewhere. So yeah, I can see you having an effect.

TK[1]

Out of context, that sounds plain wrong...
Admittedly it is far funnier 2-way, simply for the sheer juvenility of it. Is juvenility even a word?


It's subective, as I keep saying...

>>> Oh God, I think my parents & friends have X-Factor on downstairs and someone has just CRUCIFIED "Bohemian Rhapsody"... *puts fingers in ears and goes 'lalalalalalalalala'*

I know
It is now if it wasn't before.

I think I'd struggle to find a human male that didn't agree with me...

It's G4- they're are extraordinarily talented, especially for contestants in a TV talent show. They're actually really good, if you listen to them. And I mean classically (musically) good, rather than just personalities. Even Brian May's been on the radio supporting them- he's said it's just the thing Freddie would have been enthusiastic about because they are such good singers.

TK[1]

Which was, of course, why you said it... sick sick puppy.
Damnit, it isn't new...

Oh well...

I'll bet I can name several offhand

I just caught a snippet... I'm naturally aggitated by listening to a talent act trying to cover something that was good in the first place. The cynic in me wonders if Mr May could have been paid to say that.. I'll take your word for it that they're not terrible, though.

Bitch Queen.
Aw, poor you. Keep trying.

I doubt it'd be an accurate list.

I doubt Mr May is the kind of person who would allow himself to be bribed like that, but there have been all sorts of people praising them- Elton John's another that I can remember offhand. I know that the fact they're on a program like that implies they're not worth listening to... but they are actually fantastic singers! And they're not trying to be something else. In fact, they're hardly a 'popular' style at all, and I'm surprised they got as far through the competition as they did, given the mental calibre that usually picks up the phone and votes...
