This time we have absolute facts! Honest!

Okay, not really.

The Phantom and Alien have some unfortunate news.

Again...

:D

That was amusing.

I'm only itching to know who's the mysterious balding 'downer and if the bearded child is Aganzir... ;)

How did you get out of that blender Hookbill?!:eek:

If these people don't stop to take The Downer seriously, it's going to end very bad... :rolleyes: ;)

Are you saying that the Downer is spreading lies? I'm shocked that you would say such a thing.:rolleyes:

Brilliant! Another stunning contribution to the literary world! Love that part about A Little Green throwing children out of a tall building (from the first story!:D)

Ah yes....declineing morals Legate!

No, I never said that. I complained against people like you taking it always seriously. :p

Not possible. It's you whom I like to think to be Gandalf.
But I remember I gave you a fake beard for birthday some years ago, also... So I guess you can stop itching now. ;)

He climbed.

The blender wasn't on when Hookbill fell in was it? Because if it was, then he might have gotten blended...:eek: Poor, poor Hookbill...

lacking in humour since '87
 

Well, it's just past midnight and I can't sleep, so here is this week's paper...

This week, Alien has been messing with the pipes...

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...h/PandA079.jpg

Wow! For once I get to see the Downer on Sunday!

So many things happening to so many downers! It certainly looks like it has been a busy week.

The second article was hilarious!

That was all too funny, especially Raynor's hotel and the mini-heads. And I sincerely hope that the 'downer who won the right to eat her/his sister was not Greenie and not in werewolf (not in any other circumstances either, for that matter). :p Also, I'm glad they removed Agan's teeth so she won't be biting people that much (again, I could mention werewolf ;)).

Anyway, I can only wonder how do you Hookbill always find the time to do this marvellous newspaper. But I'm very glad you do. :D

What one lacks in life, one makes up for in pointless endeavors. ;)

I have to complain about press intrusion in last week's issue of the Downer. How on earth their reporters know that davem has the fairy king hiding in his sock drawer I shudder to think...:eek:

;)

Random Titles settle in the South Downs
 

Hm...South Downs, sounds like a gated community. Perhaps they keep track of how many skeletons are in your closet rather than how well-manicured your lawn is? ;):Merisu:

How very odd! I was dreaming about talking tornados chasing me up and down Middle Earth sunday night! Well anyhow, I like the weather news...The Downer should have a weather page in it.....:D

So not only does Folwren say that during the article, but also she says it on her signature? ... wow, she must really like that phrase...


(And yes Laurinque, I read this weeks Downer... finally...)

Too bad Folwren isn't here to enjoy it. I'll have to make sure she reads it when she gets back.

I'm sad to see my teeth go, but rather them than nails, I guess.

Have you never heard of Freedom of the Press? What? That actually exists?

I had planned on doing a St Pancake's Day special, but I forgot. Sorry. :(

I've made a decision, though. This year, at Oxonmoot, I'll be bringing a special, exclusive copy of The Downer which I will give to any fellow Barrow Downers who come. The Oxonmoot Special will be printed on A3 paper and have some inside pages as well as probably a couple of Phantom and Aliens. :D

Should I be worried that this is the best motivation for me to go to Oxonmoot? :rolleyes:

Is one of these P&As the mysteriously lost strip 35? Because that could influence my decision.

Quite possibly.
Actually, the reason for the confusion was due to the olden times one which I saved under the name 'P and A 035' and I never noticed. I will rectify the mistake at some point.

Hookbill, what if one can't go to Oxenmoot? Does that mean that we don't get the special edition of the Downer? Because if that is true, then I will be missing out on it...:(

That's Complete Sadness...

I will probably post it on the Downs after Oxonmoot. But some content will be exclusive to Mooters, unless one of them wishes to scan it in or something. ;)
It all depends on how it goes, really, and what format it takes.

That's enough to get me depressed for the rest of the week.:(

Yay! I want to see it, of course I know that I wont be able to go to Oxonmoot because my parents are not going to buy me (and Laurinque) plane tickets to go there... sadness
I am sorry that you are depressed... maybe you will be able to go and get the special edition of the Downer, but of course not all of us can...

Don't be scared.

This week, Alien becomes musical. :eek:
Also, a new character; Puts accents over every vowel man.

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...h/PandA080.jpg

But there's no accent over the "y", is there? :eek: :p

But Y isn't a vowel ... or am I missing an obvious joke here? :confused:

Depends on in which language (you silly English-speakers! :p ;) ).

I'm just glad that you've been distracted from the truly unforgivable atrocities Alien has obviously been involved with. ;)

And now the Weather:

Rain.

Hey if you didn't double up all your letters you wouldn't need extra ones. :p

Hey, that's not us who doubles the letters - that's the Finns! *points finger*

Either write an article about vowels and linguistics, or face the fury of Chat sqururlulrlrs or however you spell it.

A new activity for the newspaper:
I'll begin a story, and anyone can finish it off, if you so wish. Someone could also provide a picture if they so wish.

Police remove Skin in bid to stop crime.

In local news, it has been announced that several residents of The Barrow downs have had their skin confiscated by police. DCI Lalwende of the Yard expressed concern at the latest move by Scottish Yard, saying, "ever since skin was reclassified as a class A drug, davem hasn't stopped buying it."

More on this story as it unfolds. Or rather, as anyone wishes to add to it...

Ice and snow, you incompetent weather man! "Rain" says he!

While she said this, her skin was stolen from her and she ran off. Everyone on the Downs has been incredibly angry because of this. We interviewed one Wight, Laurinque she said "I like Pie!"...

However, an interview with the pie's family reveals the sordid truth about Laurinque - she is in fact a maniac pie murderer.
"I want my daddy," sobbed a little pieling, as her mother tried to explain why her daddy was never coming home.

Since then, nobody has wanted skin, but now we have a bigger problem. They want pie! So the BWH needed to stop this madness by eating all of the pies on the Downs himself.
