This week, Folwren (with help from Finduilas, I think) wrote the second story.

Alternate version:

Due to an impending court case, The Phantom and Alien can't be with us this week. So, all the way from Fugrolshenslarviar, we have the most popular comic strip in Eastern Griodira: Fungoltch and Shcmurt...

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...andShcmurt.jpg

My copy of the paper was delivered without the 470-page arts and crafts insert :( - can I order that separately?

Well, you will have to pay for the truck needed to deliver it. Given that each page is nine inches thick, the full insert requires several lorry loads to deliver. It will cost you 470 Notes.

I don't think I like Fungoltch and Shcmurt... :eek:

;)

Seriously, that was a very funny one. :D

The best since 1947, to be precise. :D:D But I do hope that we'll not get too much of Fungoltch and Shcmurt in the future.

Yum! That Tornado Sandwich looks good!:D

Is Fungoltch related to the phantom?

I can't even figure out what they said... poor me who is only fluent in English and can speak a few words in Russian, German, and Spanish.

As is always said, 'once you loose your reputation you can live more freely'...

Well, that is as long as you avoid people in general I guess.

That tornado does look nice, minus the mysterious cheese inside, mozzarella?:confused:

It looks a lot better than any torando I've been in, those were mostly hot air, pieces of homes, dust, rocks, tree, and random articles of clothing. :rolleyes:

No, but Shcmurt is. :eek:

One of those occasions where, in absence of jokes, one goes for the bizarre. :D

A New version of the paper is up, by the way. Folwren's picture has been included. The Sandwich was a temporary measure.

Awwwh. :(

This is balsphemy! This is madness!

This is the Downer!

The things that go on here when I don't visit:rolleyes:......And in regards to the pie incident, her father was blueberry, and delicious, as was that tornado sandwich. :D

Also, might I ask what langauge Fungoltch und Shcmurt is in? I feel ignorant. :(

I know a little Gibberish, and I must say it looks quite like that.

;)

Nonsenseish. :p

I originally entitled it 'Fungoltch and The Shcmurt' to make it more opposite to 'The Phantom and Alien'. :D

He's in England...it always rains in England. Everyone knows that ....

and y is a semi-vowel.

Sure, when you want pretty looking words like rhythm. Having an i in there would look so wrong.

I just want to know what this court case is that's stopping us getting our Phantom and Alien!

It's time for some SHOCKING news...

This week, The Phantom and Alien return!! :eek:

For Laurinquë and TheGreatElvenWarrior --
Fungoltch and Shcmurt are speaking "high middle mispelled Dinglish" and are saying:

Fungoltch: Frog, you're crappy!
Shcmurt: Lost grams.
Fungultch: Where did you put the semi-rotten wood? The door list is gone!
Shcmurt: Fun dagger?
Fungoltch: Mulch.
Shcmurt: Must dig grave?

It is possible that photo op shows Cheif Insectpor davem was merely attempting to imitate his new son's awesome achievements in regurgitation but failing miserably in the projectile category. However, other interested readers of The Downer might recall that green blood suggests two other possibilities: either C.I. davem is ingesting large quantities of anti-migraine drugs (aka not-so-cheap over the counter drugs) OR he all along has been hiding from us his Vulcan heritage.

I think this definitely allows for Downer journalists to investigate this situation. We could have the reknown expert Dr. Spock here amidst us--why, even Michael Martinez would be jealous of such expert presence.

HAAAAAAAAAA!:eek::D

(he's gonna kill me when he sees that, teee-heee! :D)

Maybe he's just been eating my cooking?

Or it could be that he has been chewing his biro. Not that, for one moment, I'd suggest he is a pedant and writes letters in green ink: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_ink ;)

Wait... I'm absolutely SURE I posted the paper this morning... seems to have vanished... I'll post it again...

Special thanks to the phantom for the second story and the min-heads.

Alien's dark side starts to show... again...

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...h/PandA082.jpg

I hope that it vanished because of the forum problems and not because it was inappropriate or anything.

Oh, how rude! This time they surely overdone it!

And by the way, I don't think I wish I had Indiana Jones' hat. If more people say that, I think we are going to get the picture of who the Downers who want it are by ellimination method :)

I didn't know that the Downer is made by an "Evil Genius"

I thought Fordim Hedgethistle already had it.

Anyone who has read the first edition of The Downer will know that an evil genius was involved in some way. ;)

That only means that he is NOT counted among those who'd wish they have it; as he already HAS it. So another one apart from me who belongs to the 24%.

Provided, that the Downers together make just 100%. It may be as well possible that it's more... :D :eek: :smokin:

I don't want his hat either. I'm more of a phrygian myself. :p

If Gil killed Davem (again), then what is with Davem's mass production? I'm beginning to suspect that not all of the items on fire and display by Gil are roadkill.

I want the Indiana Jones hat. Even though I don't look good in hats at all.

Oh, that evil genius... I thought the paper was talking about you, Hookbill.:p;)

I am very much hoping that that sign behind Gil is photoshopped....And if it is how did you do it? I am trying to photoshop this sign into saying "Welcome to Mordor" but cannot quite pull it off.

By the way I find the sideline comment of "Man falls in toxic waste, devlops super-power "I can die incredibly fast!" very charming, and yes I mean it.

No, for once, this was a sign I didn't touch. I was going to make one saying 'burning children' or some such, but when I found that picture on Google I felt it needed nothing more adding. :D

But if you need a sign like that...

I'm really spooked: that terrain looks a lot like the prairie-r parts of Canada--my home turf. Does this mean I'm stuck here? Is this why I've never met another 'Downer?

For the record, I am definitely among the 76% of 'Downers that wishes they had an Indiana Jones hat. Fedoras are simply the coolest headgear since Egyptian pharaoh headdresses.

Random Titles visit Mordor
 

Wow, the "peoples" of Mordor have greatly improved their agriculture. It must be all that lava fertilizer. :Merisu:

I'm enjoying that League of Gentlemen/Mordor crossover ;)

davem has already got an Indiana Jones hat. So :p

All right, I admit it!

I didn't actually take a poll about the Indiana Jones hat! I just assumed that nearly everyone thought the hat was cool but figured a few people already had it- thus the 76% number I pulled from the air.

I was going to go with 71% originally, but I thought I'd up it just because I think Indy rocks.

Alright that does it!! I think that since Hookbill has started this obsession with Indiana Jones hats I think that it is only fair for him to buy some for us. :D At least until the 76% are satisfied.;)

Me! Me! I want an Indiana Jones hat!

Hey, I even studied archeology...;)

Indiana Jones hat for me! Yay! Hookbill, use one of your 950675 piles of gold or some of your infinite amount of "notes"
