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

I was trying to catch up on the local uni weekly paper this morning, and read an artice on a protest which happened recently in Auckland: members of the destiny church (no they do not deserve capital letters in their name: it's officially a cult, and its main moral influence is towards bigotry and intolerance. ) they were protesting against the recent 'Civil unions' bill (non-christian yet legally accepted alternative to marriage, which includes same-sex unions.)
Anyway, the destiny church were there protesting against the bill, and against homosexuality and reason and tolerance etc, and a whole lot of /other/ protesters were there too, protesting against the destiny church's protest.

Viz: This paragraph from the article:
"In front of the people congregated for the march stood around 100 counter-protesters in interesting and colourful costumes. They brandished many varied hand painted signs including: 'Down with this sort of thing', 'Your sister's my girlfriend', 'Defend diversity - love thy neighbour', 'Hate is not a family value', 'God still loves us too', 'Giz a hoon on your Harley bro', and 'Welcome your impotence'. Two happy looking women ran giggling down Queen St to join this group, one was wearing just a bra and pants and the other was just wearing pants."

Fantastic!

This reminds me; one of my must-do-one-day goals is to sit on the side of the street with a hat and a handpainted cardboard sign which reads: "Family killed by ninjas, need money for kung-fu lessons."
Aparrantly there's a photo somewhere on the 'net of a guy doing this. If anyone gets their hands on a copy, please send it to me.

if i ever see it i'll be sure to send it your way post haste.......

s!

I only missed you by a little bit again, didn't I?

I'm back on again now... although I'm doing my assignment in another window. It's horrible!

I've been over my head in assignments before... but this isn't anywhere near the same ball park of stress. This isn't even the same sport.
Usually bad assignments with which I'm over my head in, make me hyperventilate. With this one I'll be surprised if I manage to avoid having a coronary before it's finished.

Hmm... at least I could get a med cert then...

no! dont do that!


i'd miss you!

i'm back!!!!
....well obviously.... if i'm typing this.......

Search on the google imaes page, you'll find it eventually.

http://www.voy.com/10007/18920.html thank nighthoover ,he asked son of bob to send you this, http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/A660674 to visit shrine to offer homage if you want to leave him personal message here but you have to read whole thread. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/F19585?thread=244117&post=6779313#p6779313

ooooh!!!
lovely!

thanks that was neat to see

Ultimately stylish!

Yay! Thanks LTP!

That's a mighty long thread though... Do I really have to read the whole thing?

certainly not.........you have far too much of your own backlog to read first.......

s!

Couldnt we just give him the gist of it like we do for me?

oh, i suppose we could.......
its rather a lot........ but i could try a little.

what do you think jerms?

Well definitely, but only if you already know what's in the backlog. I'd hate to be responsible for you reading through 12,000 -something posts just for me.

well you know..... i would do it just for you

in fact i will.... lets see....... i'll have to start tomorrow though. i only get the computer for annother half hour. but tomorrow is my day, so i can start then

by the way bob says extra $400 in your account may dissapear should you not complete your allotted task,

Geep!

geep....geep...... not in my vocabulary
is that pronounced like jeep, or like gep?

Rhymes with Jeep.
Like in "the Land of 'O'", by James Thurbur: '"Quiet you darn parrot, or I'll sqwuck your thrug 'til all you can wupple is geep!"
"Geep! Geep!" Wuppled the parrot.'

I love that book.

ahhh....
i see.........

well if you like it perhaps i'll have to look into finding myself a copy...

In that case also have a look for "the thirteen clocks" by the same author. It's at least as good, if not better.
