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

Whoopee! I'm a SubEditor. Now I have something vaguely worthwhile to do with my time...

So did the excitement of being a Subbie fad when you realized that you had to read THREE entries from my day trip to the state Capitol?

Thanks for the edit, though I would have liked to see all the entries linked to each ohter. That linking is an important part of the Sub's job, but when you miss something, the full-timers always seem to be there to pick up the ball!

Again, thanks and I hope they weren't too ponderous for you!

excellent articles BTW
I wanted to link them together but I edited them all at the same time and so none of them had approved entry numbers yet. I attached a note to the full timers, hopefully they'll do it!

Ah! I hadn't thought of that!

D'oh!

Glad you liked them - pretty soon I'm not going to be allowed to leave my house. My wife says I'm always looking for Guide entries to write when we go out. Those three came from a day-trip with my daughter on her birthday.

LOL! It's a good excuse for going out, anyway!
That gives me an idea... I have a valid reason for sampling all the restaurants around here now...
The Beast Of The Number ( http://www.h2g2.com/U666 ) managed to get into some exclusive press event by convincing the guy at the door that he was a reporter for H2G2!

If they'd give us some sort of credentials - like a little card or something, that could work! Of course, most places aren't media savy enough to check credentials all that closely. Who would claim to be from the press and wasn't ?!?

I've been thinking of printing out my SubEditor badge and laminating it
It probably wouldn't work but might be worth a try sometime!
I think TDV ought to try selling H2G2 goodies, eg. H2G2 T-shirts.

I've seen photos of the shirts....

When Mark and Peta went to Miami, there's a photo of him on the beach with his laptop and he's wearing an h2g2 shirt. It looked great. Perhaps our esteemed leader should go into male modelling!

Or perhaps not!
