ABOUT THIS RESEARCHER

Created: 21st January 2002 
I Am Buzz Lightyear, International Space Ranger!!!!!

Bienvenue! Bienvenidos! Benvenuti! Wilkommen! Welcome! Yo, Whassup!!

Please come in and make yourself @ home. Heck, you don't even have to wipe your feet! winkeye

A Hubble telescope

smiley Well Done, you have successfully whether intentionally or not found your way to chez Buzz on h2g2!! rocket [Apologies if you think my little greeting above reads too much like an International tourist resort, but thought it appropriate here!]. It´s amazing when I think just how long it took me to find this little corner of the Internet galaxy considering how much time I spend surfing the Information Super-Highway!! Now, I just can't keep away (Hint: you may have to release the hounds soon!!). No sooner have I logged on, then up comes the login in page and...ALAS! Well, even International Space Rangers need a day off from time to time after fighting the Mighty Zurg and tending to my trusty ol´ space ship. Although my warrior status is legendary, you should fear not for I come in peace! Pray, take a pew, read on and leave a message if you like, I'm always glad to hear from fellow travellers!! cheers Alternatively, you may want to exeunt with haste when you realize you've taken a wrong turn in the guide. Please don't go! cry If you feel the need, there's always The Post; Ask h2g2; United Friends of h2g2 and now over 5000 Exclusive Edited Guide Entries! wow

A sci-fi fantasy world

NAME: You must know me by now. I'm the famous Buzz Lightyear, the one and only authentic one (not one of the toy Buzzes!).
OCCUPATION: Great nemesis and scourge of the Mighty Zurg and intergalactic villainry, and useful mechanic! Hoping to add "Accomplished h2g2 Researcher" soon too...Keepin' on dreamin'!!
HEIGHT: Diminiutive, but every bit the Intergalactic Space Ranger!
WEIGHT: Sleek, and Muscular (Kept in Shape by fighting the Mighty Zurg!).
PASTTIMES: Well, when I'm not busy patrolling the galaxy, I stop by at the great hotspots of the known universe and hang with my good friends.
FRIENDS: The boy Andy, Woody, Slinky, MR And MRS Potato Head, Rex... Who knows, I may even be adding some of you fellow researchers to this list some day (or, more likely after visiting my domain here, you'll rather want to keep well away!)
LIKES: All his good pals, honing my warrior skills, chocolate, thought-provoking talented h2g2 researchers (just about anyone on here really!)...just about anything really. I´m easily pleased!
DISLIKES: The Dark Side (including Zurg), bad things happening to people like homelessness or bankrupcy, Manchester United!
PROVERB TO LIVE BY: "Keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer" - John F. Kennedy, 1917 to 1963
NEVER A TRUER WORD SPOKEN: "There is no sincerer love than the love of food" Mmmmmm...-George Bernard Shaw, 1856 to 1950
ONE I EMPATHISE WITH: "Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names"-John F. Kennedy, 1917 to 1963
NOTE TO STUDENTS: "Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance" Still trying to work out what it's for!! - Will Durant
MOREOVER: "Imagination is more important than knowledge" -Albert Einstein, 1879 to 1955
AI, THAT'LL BE RIGHT: "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former"-Albert Einstein, 1879 to 1955
Okay so the game is up! I was trying to find something deep as well as meaningful to say here, but felt haplessly uninspired!! headhurts

Let's Remember: "There was life before Coronation Street. But it didn't amount to much!"winkeye

And, not forgetting: "The Capitalist System is oiled by the blood of the workers!"


Anyway, if you folks would like to find out more about me for real, check out my blogspot, an online journal evolving all the time. Enjoy! I do tweak and prod it every now and again, Honest I do guv'! ok

That'll be all folks 4 now!!


Now, I must be off to search and explore this intriguing part of the universe I have just about reached ..... This galaxy needs me!! Buzz Lightyear to the rescue!!

Live Long and Prosper!love

To Infinity and Beyond!

A rocket blasting off


Here's this space ranger ufo wishing all my fellow researchers on h2g2 A Very Prosperous New Year!! holly May 2003 bring you nowt but wealth, health and happiness!! bubbly

A foxy cowgirl saying 'Y'all come back now!'

1 [ALAS, fear not for this personal space shall continually evolve!]
2 Incidentally, if you happen to be passing, I´d be delighted to hear what your advice is on writing these introductions, and anything else you have to say so that I can continually improve upon it. Have I got this right, or should it be more true to self (so to speak!)? Thankee, good people!
3 Just hope Disney don't come and screw me for breach of copyright!! yikes

JOURNAL
It's been a while, but guess who's back!
Mar 23, 2004

smiley By the 'eck/Stone o' crows, I've been Absent Without Leave for a long time from this ickle corner of cyberspace like George W. from the Texas National Guard (or was it Alabama's?)winkeye !
yikes Moreover, I don't really have a very good excuse! erm I guess we Space-rangers rocket can't remain in one place for too long! run

Although, I guess the thing that has tempted me back is the recent publication of my very first solo Edited Guide Entry!! cheers It took a while, but we finally got there in the end! wow
It is about the Comunidad Valenciana in Spain - A1151759 - (unedited version still to be found in My Space @ A1075024). Hope y'all enjoy it and find it informative, but when you've finished reading the articles, why not tell me what u thought?! And yes, I can take criticism! blush 'Course, if you don't happen to like it, I can always blame it on the editors! winkeye Hehe...bwahahahahahahahaaaa!!


Thanx 4 reading and Bonne Nuit! ok

Friends of h2g2, Unite!
Dec 31, 2002

Hello again! biggrin
Another journal entry which can only mean another momentous occasion to celebrate in my h2g2 life. This time I, one Buzz Lightyear rocket , have been officially accepted into the United Friends of h2g2 Community. Yippeeeeee!!!! bubbly I hear you shout (or rather, more likely erm , oh no not that idiot again! winkeye ) which is rather appropriate as I have often stressed that I always come in peace. peacesign Alas! I know what you're thinking. You're thinking what took me so long, aren't you? I know as I can hardly believe it myself! bigeyes I may be an International Space Ranger accustomed to fighting the evil of the Mighty Zurg, but I always endeavour to be as friendly & forthcoming as I possibly can. hug Meanwhile, this induction to the "United Friends" Community just makes it all official. Consequently from this day onward, I vow to make an extra effort to spread peacedove & love among all my fellow h2g2 researchers.

If you feel that I break my Mission Promise to you in any way, pray do tell by dropping me a message off here in my Personal Space or, if you prefer, by replying to the message where you see the offence committed. I hope that I do not have many such messages of this sort as Buzz Lightyear would be subsequently failing in my mission. sadface Thank-you all for your time in reading this.


peacedove & love to One and All!! bubbly
Happy & Prosperous New Year 2003 to One & All on this New Year's Eve! Take care of yourselves & God Bless.

Joining the Revolution, Comrades!!
Dec 9, 2002

HOOORAY!!!!!!!!!!! cheers Scream it from the rooftops, yell it at the tops of your voices for...
At last I, Buzz Lightyear rocket , am proclaimed an Official Member of the Thingite Cause. Plus, as if that wasn't enough, this spaceranger was Number #200 to swell the ranks!! wow magic
If you are a fellow thingite reading this, I am also to be known among you by the title: Admiral Carpe Diem!! ok Always fancying a naval role (no sniggering now!), I seek to turn the forces @ sea towards the cause & use them to its advantage. Of course, being an Admiral & thereby placing myself at the summit of the fleet does set me up for a rather big fall if I should be failing. However, I am nothing if not committed & the good of the Cause is always uppermost in my mind. Nonetheless, in the meantime, I seek to establish command of my fleet & lead from the front as by example accompanying my crews into battle with them at every venture. I hereby declare not to let the side down!! smiley

Here, for future reference (& I should not forget upon pain of torture! smiley ), will stand in summary of the Manifesto as proposed by the Thingite Uprising. We, of which I am now a proud member winkeye , only seek the renaming of the Days of the Week in accordance with their rightful names. Henceforth, within the Thingite circle & to others to whom we speak, they shalt be known thus:
(i)The days @ the Weekend are to be called "Doobry" & "Dontbry";
(ii) Subsequently the five weekdays are to be known - "Sodit, Wimpey, Wibble, Thing [from which the Movement derives its name] & Poets." cool
I should also like it to be known here that, as an Admiral in HM Navy & as necessity dictates, I would gladly lay down my life for the wellbeing of the Movement to advance its principles to the point of success. ok We Shall Not Fail!! May Nelson be proud of me.

cheers & bubbly to the Thingite Movement!
Vive la Révolution! rose

Sentiments as expressed by Yours Truly,
Admiral Carpe Diem [aka Buzz Lightyear rocket on the rest of H2g2]magic
Now it is time for me to inspect my fleet & introduce myself to my crews...To Infinity & Beyond!! peacedove
