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

As part of a convoluted tax dodge, myself and Mrs Funderlik have decided to try our luck by running away. Officially, this is called a 'Holiday'. We saw this interesting and strange looking place on television, and realised that we could probably go there quite reasonably and cheaply. The place is called "outside", and apparently theres all sorts of stuff to see there - the sun, trees, dogs, apples and stuff like that. So we're going there for a month.

Dr Funderlik believes and Mrs Funderlik agrees, that after about five minutes and thirty two seconds of being "outside", Dr Funderlik will start shouting "Where's my computer?" and whimpering like a baby. So it is very possible that we might get back on-line over the next four weeks or so. But if Dr. Funderlik can be distracted with rattles, soothers and large balloons, then the silence may be somewhat more prolonged.

We step out of the thing called a "door" on Friday. After that - who knows? Hopefully be back soon, and if not, please don't buy any emergency batteries or extra frozen chicken, for we shall return near the end of August.

Well I hope you've left a series of Grunts to tide us all over while you're away!

Have fun

A whole series??

If I tried to do that in advance, my brain would force its way out of my ear and catch the first bus to Acapulco.

I've done one for Thursday, all about Sigmund Freud, and I'm toying with writing a short one about rhubarb for the week after that - but that's about as far as it goes for now.. sorry..

nothing to read for a whole month .
Have a great time!
take care
boots (also off on hols next week...who will be posting to our paper?)

But... no!!

No.

Ah! Dr F...

The Weddell and I did something like this once...
* shudders *
...however if you are absolutely resolved to go through with it, then I'd like to recommend these little places we discovered with big yellow M's and a frightening-looking clown-thing.

The dispense some kind of food-alternative-stuff. Kids can subsist on it for weeks at a time.

Please note, though, that if you keep it up for more than a month or two, they'll suddenly blow up like balloons and develop a complexion like bloodshot semolina.

Also on no account talk to the people you find inside these places. The sallow, haunted ones behind the counter are very depressing. The fat, red-skinned, crew-cutted, tattooed ones on your side are bl**dy dangerous.

Happy Holidays!

Can't find any evidence of Dr D posting anything since April 16. Perhaps he really has run away and isn't coming . . . back . . .

Rats! That's not nice. I could have sworn I saw him lurking earlier.
Hey ho
