ENJOY!


Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien, you can look back though...


Sorry for this being late! I was away on Sunday and have been busy today! Hopefully this isn't too bad.
Aganzir will be in your nightmares from now on after this episode, I hope.

Galadriel55 11-12-2012 03:17 PM

Yay Aganzir! :D

And all hail the Phantom, King of the Cereal Boxes and Rubber Bands!

Aganzir 11-12-2012 03:30 PM

Peter Hampton joins the Movember movement!

Also, I'm hot and I like my teeth.

Hookbill the Goomba 11-13-2012 11:55 AM

For those of you who are not terrified by Aganzir, here is a picture my brother did of her character as a special postery type thing...

(Yes there is a less 'toned down' version on FaceBook if you're not squeamish ;) )

Galadriel55 11-13-2012 04:25 PM

Some lovely lunch you got there, Agan!

Aganzir 11-14-2012 01:46 PM

It was yummy.

You want to know the difference between this one and the Facebook version? In that one, I haven't yet licked the blood off the floor.

THE DOWNER IS NEVER LATE! NOR IS IT EARLY! WE CAN'T CONTROL WHEN THE NEWS HAPPENS!!

Hopefully next week we'll be back on schedule and things will happen as they should once again. But I make no promises! Who knows if another random Barrow Downs mini moot will jump out of the bushes, knock me unconscious and go through my pockets!?

Bêthberry 11-19-2012 07:47 PM

I must protest these reporters' reports. That press conference had nothing to do with the existence of the Barrow Downs or any odious insinuations about TBWH.

I was sure I was talking about whether the Downs was half full or half empty.

And the moral of the story is never go to a café with Aganzir.

Special thanks to the phantom for writing the second story this week! I'm sure he only wrote about himself loving himself by pure coincidence.

Aganzir 11-26-2012 05:02 AM

I really liked both the stories. And the pictures. And the café too, such nommy sandwiches they'd got.

Nogrod 11-26-2012 10:08 AM

Well, once again we meet the sorry state of the journalism today: not only they can't afford photographers to take pictures of the actual affairs and use their archives to illustrate their stories... but they even don't have time or brains to redo the captions if they use pics from other contexts!

What are limes to apples? Like as similar as journalism is to the present medialandscape. :p

Galadriel55 11-26-2012 07:12 PM

I'm not sure which picture from the Newspaper I like better. :eek::cool::D

Thanks to Galadriel55 for the second story! There has been far too many Phantom stories of late. What a good job there's probably another one next week.

Incidentally, that's one of my favourite Alien lines of all time.

Galadriel55 12-02-2012 08:01 PM

"I'm a disguise!"

No, honey, you are a saucepan.

PS: Hook, are you trying to deny TP his popularity? :p

Well, of course Finland isn't "in" Middle-earth, because it was removed after the folly of Ar-Pharazon.

Galadriel55 12-09-2012 04:28 PM

Finland is in Barrow Downs!

What? Of course!

TheGreatElvenWarrior 12-09-2012 08:12 PM

Well, I have never! I am going to have to sue the phantom and this terrible rag of a publication for libel, because that's how we do it in America. I am forced to read The Barrow from now on.

Thanks to the phantom for another great second story. The Downer is always willing to print what people are saying about is, even if it is accusations of evil intent.

TheGreatElvenWarrior 12-17-2012 10:33 AM

I have this sneaking suspicion that someone is going to come after me for that quote this week. I will continue to look behind me; someone may be following.

There won't be a newspaper next week, alas, as I'll be away in the home of the cold, the land of the Finn. Hopefully it will result in many new pictures for the news, though.

I swear, I read this thing just for the sidebar stories.

I do that too. :D If I'm in a hurry, I'll read those.


Hampton is so Phantom in this episode! :p

Morsul the Dark 12-23-2012 09:38 PM

Maybe he's there for an interview?

Isn't that how the best reporters do it? break into people's houses?

Hookbill the Goomba 12-25-2012 06:07 AM

Happy whatever to everyone, from Alien...

The skeleton in the corner is super cute! :D ^.^

Merry Christmas everyone!

It's like The Sidebar Of Shame in the Daily Mail except about funny things rather than Cheryl Cole's sweat patches or Kate Middleton's knickers! :D

TheGreatElvenWarrior 12-31-2012 11:49 AM

Daww! Alien is so cute! :D

Tabloidal news this week from the most credible source of facts, THE BARROW!

Regular Downer News will return next week!
For now, you can go over to the P&A facebook page and see the special Phalian Christmas art that was made! It's fun!

Galadriel55 01-06-2013 07:59 PM

Don't know how many issues? That's an issue! :p

I just had an aha moment. Phantom is a scramble of Hampton! I'm really slow. :rolleyes:

Thinganzir: I ship it like the Ar-Pharazon. ;)

Does the Phantom Action Ego Doll™ come with its own mirror as an accessory? :rolleyes: :p

Are you trying to pass Dáin off as Danish intentionally? :p :D

I have a beard!
Although it is not of dwarven splendure.
