I guess the star reporter Frank the Dragon missed the involvement of A Little Green in those negotiations gone sour... A place for some investigative journalism I think?

And it was not a prison but a refuge for endangered species. It was all either a misunderstanding or then a groundless but intentional provocation against the wight-community. We only tried to save these McPenguins from their own desires...

Oddly enough, my computer has randomly chosen to no longer show the images of the Downer. All I get is a tiny little dot. Drat and blast.

I did try uploading it on the Downs, but it worked not.

I'll E-mail it to you if you want. :(

Finduilas 01-14-2008 06:19 PM

Do you purposely always spell whether weather?

alatar 01-14-2008 08:55 PM

Must update my resume...;)

And at least the wife and I got out, if only in a digital picture.

Gwathagor 01-14-2008 09:01 PM

Ah, there it is. Thanks Hookbill.

THE Ka 01-14-2008 10:18 PM

'Oro-gin' :p ;)

It would be a lie if I said yes... So... Yes, it is deliberate. ;)

This thing is insane, people like Hookbill the Goomba should all be put into a barrow as a danger to public health and sanity. People die of laughter all the time, it's a serious matter.

We tried that once. However, they accidentally left a printing press in said barrow. Indeed, this is how The Downer got started. ;)

Without further ado...

I must have bee half asleep when that protest happened, because I don't remember half of it... but when the paper came out I thought, this must be true, because the Downer is always telling the exact truth!;)

Groin Redbeard 01-22-2008 03:08 PM

Wow! That must have been quite a dissturbance that Gwathagor caused, but I guess the Barrow Wight had it coming to him.

Gwathagor 01-22-2008 03:17 PM

What? What did I do? I can't see the image, but it sounds as if I've been taken advantage of by the sensationalist media...

McCaber 01-22-2008 03:33 PM

They claimed your family destroyed their own house to build a battering ram and dethrone the B-W.

Looks like I'm going to have to start posting these up for you, Gwathy. ;)

I don't use photo bucket usually, because it blurs the text slightly.

Gwathagor 01-22-2008 03:40 PM

Gwathy? Gwathy?! Not only am I slandered by the press, but they've begun to use a familiar, diminutive form of my name, thereby adding insult to injury!

Thanks for the special posting, though. I do appreciate it.

Legate of Amon Lanc 01-22-2008 04:36 PM

Hey, I did not notice that on first sight, but is Alien actually crying? :eek: Indeed???

If you zoom in on the picture on Photobucket it works!

He's done it before in a very early episode. I think it was episode three or four. :D

Laurinquë 01-25-2008 01:50 AM

Ah yes, me and by brilliant comments. I do suppose I should have elaborated on that sentiment, but I really do love blunt statements. But anyway, Faeries are awesome. Another blunt statement.

P.S. Go Moths!

Groin Redbeard 01-25-2008 09:06 PM

You might be a redneck if you wait all week long in anticipation for the Downer to come out on Sunday. Yehaw, the Downer comes out tomorrow!:D

Yes, briliant comments indeed! But that's okay, everyone knows I'm the Queen of Random Comments! But you have a kind of colorful language (not in cus words) But of course you can say blunt statements sometimes. Let us state out the obious! Just like Legolas!;)

Groin Redbeard 01-26-2008 08:05 PM

Yes, tomorrow the new Downer comes out!

Laurinquë 01-27-2008 03:21 AM

I would like to hear more about that moth. I love moths. Why was it arrested? Because it prevented death so there could be no more wights or something?

Moths are awesome.

You know, you love any thing that is an animal that moves... except for the science teachers son!;)(and I won't say his name online)

Hookbill the Goomba 01-28-2008 03:02 AM

More news than is good for you...

Thanks to TheGreatElvenWarrior for the second story...

This week, Alien gets festive!

Laurinquë 01-28-2008 03:36 AM

WEEEE!!!!! TheGreatElvenWarrior is now a published writer!
*pats on head*
Well done!
And remember, if Hookbill the Goomba says it is true it must be!

Oh, and go Fryingpan Dog!

Groin Redbeard 01-28-2008 01:40 PM

Wow, The Great Elven Warrior is a writer.:eek: I liked the whole twist that Smeagol put on the story!

Hookbill who was that drunken Downer that blew up the balloon factory?

No one got a good look at the culprit. But one witness said he had a red beard. ;)
I'm sure DCI Lalwende will want to speak to anyone matching said description. But make sure you don't eat any of PC Davem's 'Special' mushrooms.

So... are you admitting it? :p

If you read back on the articles where davem is mentioned you'll find some not-so-subtle implications that he is on strong halusinagenic drugs. :cool:

Inccodentely, if you have any incrimiating photos, The Downer will pay good (read: 'fake') money to anyone who PMs them to me.

Hookbill the Goomba 01-30-2008 11:28 PM

Lets cut the chat shall we.
Unless you have an article on the subject, try and keep this sort of thing to a minimum. Thanks.

*sighs* Agreed Hookbill. I thank you for helping keep an eye on this thread as I haven't peeked in lately. Please remember to keep on topic and avoid chatting. As much fun as it is to delete posts, which I have done in some of the aforementioned, it gets a bit tedious too. Infractions will be next.

McCaber 01-30-2008 11:52 PM

Hookbill, I was going through this thread (a good one by the way), and I noticed that there is no P&A 31. Is it an unreleased edition, or did you just not make one?

Ah! I think that happened back when my computer died, so I'm sure it was a mistake. I could make one if you want. ;)

THE Ka 02-02-2008 02:11 AM

I wonder if the exploding camels had anything related to the balloon factory incident? :p
They could be a distracting ground cover at least.

I find the new shadow sectary general Chancellor to be quite nice, plus they have an appropriate head cover for all occasions. And look at their poor paw! :(

Gertrude? No, no, it is Guadalupe you ninny.

Gwathagor 02-02-2008 11:38 AM

Guess who can't see Week 82... :)

Hookbill the Goomba 02-02-2008 12:48 PM

Looks like I'll have to start to post a alternative link for you, sir.

Week 82

And just in case...

The Phantom And Alien

Aganzir 02-02-2008 01:34 PM

Hookbill, I've never ever laughed this much at any Phantom and Alien cartoon (and I think I've read them all).

Laurinquë 02-04-2008 02:08 AM

The next newspaper cometh! Hooray!
