Hooray for the Golden Bicentennial Downer! Tolkienator Rules!
++Hookbill, TGEW, Lottie and Lauri for Pulitzer Prize (or wraith-world equivalent thereof)
Also, ++Aunt Bob's Letters for regular column!

BG, being mentioned in the Downer is a rare honour, only surpassed by having Hookbill single you out to poke fun at. And like becoming a Fenris Wolf, "This is something that one doesn't seek out it is thrust upon one." (Mithalwen)
(By the way, don't think you're safe just because you haven't posted any photos of yourself. He can make you post some, if he so chooses - I know from experience.)

What? You don't like being so bloody clever that nobody understands the way you think?

Short news in a right-hand column?!? *world-view crumbles*
...
Is it just me, or does the BWH as quoted in the leading article sound suspiciously like Legate tonight?
...
And awww for Lottie! sally the Sleep Police clearly neglected her duty there!
But speaking of going to bed at a reasonable hour, ahem, well, yes, point taken. Good night!

Woah! The Downer actually reported something true! That did happen (only without the cookies) and the quote really was mine! Serious world-view crumblage (to steal a phrase from Pitchie).

Didn't I tell you that I was going to put it in the Downer?

Thank you for posting The Downer, Hookbill! It was lovely.

What I meant was that even I do not understand my own logic. And as you said "If Hookbill's logic doesn't confuse you, chances are that you are Hookbill." What does that say about me? Am I not myself! OH GOD! IDENTITY CRISIS!

Thanks, Pitchwife, but I'm going outside now, and I may be some time...

Yeah, I got your point... but multiple personalities can be so much fun! (Or as my wife likes to say: "Who am I, and if so, how many?")

Anyway, have a nice walk!

EDIT: x-ed with TGEW, and It certainly does.

I should think that journalists would actually understand their thoughts, since they're putting them in the public view, but what do I know about journalisms?


So, a thought that isn't really mine. The most loyal readers of the Downer (and all of the ones who helped with this one) are teenage girls. They are the ones who post most on this thread. It's rather mad.

If they really did, they probably wouldn't... So should we be grateful that they don't?

No, it's normal. Just means that Hookbill has become a regular pop star.

P&A is BACK! After attacking Formy at the funeral, Mardinal comes in for the kill. Formy is still not sure why, though...

The adventure reaches new heights of strangeness next week with the Phantom continuing his quest for the King Bus, Alien chasing John Fillis and Peter plotting his vengeance! Who will win out? Probably you!

Cardinal Blardinal is not. . . cool. Poor Blardianal, he's so misunderstood!
