Well, those curtains had committed Piracy at sea which is, of course, punished with death by hanging. Those blasted curtains have stolen their last treasure chest!

Strangely, Noggie was somewhere the minute when Boro came, so I got to welcome him and his wife (? it was some woman he had with him).~Thinlomien

Very interesting dream . You weren't looking into my future, perhaps and marrying some lovely Miss Boro, would you be by any chance? Do a lot of your dreams come true?

Well, usually they don't and them being quite weird most of the time it's a good thing. Anyway I don't think it automatically prevents you finding a Mrs Boro "the first time is a time as well"*, as the Finnish proverb goes...

But, I hope at least the part of Goldberry being my mum won't come true since I'm quite fond of my current mother.

I think Hookbill's 'Downs Newspaper is getting inside my head.

So, I think in last weeks (or perhaps the week before) there was a picture of a little koopa troopa with the headline 'Fake Hookbill finally exposed' or something to that effect.

Anyway, I had a dream that I was the one who caught the imposter...I don't have too many dreams that I remember, but by far it was the strangest dream I had since first watching 'Dumb and Dumber' and having C-bass break down my door and kick the snot out of me. (Which was a long time ago).

It was like a dream within a dream, because in my dream I was sleeping, then I woke up to see this little imposter Hookbill running around my room. I got out of bed and caught it in my comforter saying 'Yes, I got him! I got him! He's in my sheet!' I must have woke up and still been half sleeping because, for a good 2 minutes I was holding my comforter as if I had a little imposter Hookbill in there repeating 'I got him! He's right here!' Then I came to my senses and realized there was no fake Hookbill in my sheet and I didn't catch him...drat.

Arrr! Ye'll never catch me! Avast!

And, for the record, it was last weeks edition and it was a little Goomba, not a Koopa trooper.

[Boromir88]

Ya, that's what it was...a Goomba. I'm not caught up on my Mario terms...at least they're from Mario right?

Yup. That they be.

I had an odd dream just a few minuets ago. I went to sleep to pass the time and woke up thinking, "Eh?"

It began with me going onto the Barrow Downs only to find that I was always being re-directed to some tourist website about Antarctica. I recall being very suspicious because there were lots of Penguins on this website. My little brother, Jonathan (He was on here under the name Gelmir for a while) is into penguins big time, so I asked him what was going on.

It turned out, some how, that Thinlómien had kidnapped him and taken him to Antarctica. Naturally, I decided to go and find out why. On the way I, for reasons yet to be fathomed, ended up in Wales. Ka and Rune were there trying to break into a pirate treasure chest. Rune had some very complicated machine that looked like a modified digger. Ka was trying to throw the chest off a cliff.

"What is going on?" I asked, but they just told me to help them open it. So I opened it, for it was not locked. Both Rune and Ka then threw me off the cliff for 'trying to be clever'. Then I woke up.

Any explanations? Answers on a postcard.

I haven't heard that one but I know the German adage "Einmal ist Keinmal" (once is never/once doesn't count/ one time is no time..)
