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

Well, the title says it all. I think I'll just have a few friends over to watch a few "Weird Al" movies, open presents, eat food, and enjoy myself.

Good on yer, Affy!
Since you seem to be interested in sailing, it might interest you to know that I spent my birthday this year (31st May) on a 15m boat in the North Sea (we were sailing back from Ostend, after spending the day there.)

Ah, everyone seems to have such exotic lives around here. And here I am in the Central Time Zone.

Is that Canada?
You seem to be very good friends with Garius, and he's from Canada.

Central Time Zone is an area that stretches from the North Pole to the South Pole which includes portions of the USA (where I live) and Canada (where GL lives, but I think he's actually a time zone ahead of me).

Anyway, the reason I'm good friends with GL is because we met on a Zork message board several months before either of us found h2g2. I found it, mentioned it to him, and then he surprised me by making a post about martian pasta (you needed to be on the Zork message board for a while to really get it). He didn't have a name yet, so I had to click on the link to his page to see, and sure enough, he'd even personalized his user page to point out that he'd surprised me and lured me to his place.

Gee, that's really nice.
Someone named Zem42 introduced me. I know him IRL, but I haven't been to many of his forums, and I don't think he's been to many of mine.

CTZ could make this whole STUMPED/me thing a bit hard. Isn't there an eight-hour time difference between UK and North America?

Depends on where you live in North America, really. I think the CTZ is currently about fiv/six hours behind the UK.

No, I live in Cambridge, Great Britain.
It's about 2am now. What time is it where you are?

It's about 7:50, according to the cuckoo-clock.
