Sorry, I've been both busy and lazy (how typical).

But really, you'll get it!

TheGreatElvenWarrior has been trapped in the Barrow!
Hookbill, I admire your noble efforts to give us a newspaper every week. It never ceases to cheer me up when I feel depressed.
I will send you articles!

Hooray! I have completed my goal in life! (Not really, no) But, thank you, I worked long and hard to make my Phantom and Alien look like... well, Phantom and Alien.

I must take exception to the notion that the Barrow Downs is to be airlifted off the face of Arda with the intention that it shall be tossed 'into the void'. What did the void ever do to deserve such a transgression? The whole point of having a void is that it remains empty -- void meaning, of course, 'vacant'.

From an ethical standpoint, tossing something as toxic as the Barrow Downs into a perfectly pristine void presents an environmental nightmare. Perhaps, if this dubious venture is an eventuality, the large population of wights and the corpses they inhabit could be disinterred from their barrows, and buried in some place suitable for dead things. Like in Lobelia Sackville-Baggins' undergarments, for instance.

Thank you for your timely cooperation in this matter,
Lacuna Holloway
Barren Gulf, Miss.
The void is not 'clean', do you remember all those Cybermen and Daleks that got thrust in there?

... Oh, nevermind!

EDIT: The fact that Hookbill really does not like doing this 'Sport Paper' thing makes it even more funny, because he is so not enthused about it! You can tell just by looking at the top!

Well, the main point is that you gave him also a bit of a personalized look, kind of look you made on your own, so he's not just a copy. I like that one.
