Who ordered the extra large newspaper?

Thanks to Oddwen, Aganzir and Lommy for the other stories.

This week, Diamond requested that her cats be involved some how. Despite my claims that animals that go anywhere near Alien usually end up dead, she insisted. So, here is what happened...

Tune in tomorrow for the exciting, excruciating, exerstential episode of the Phantom and Alien just for Christmas...

It's going to be another animated episode. In case you missed the first one, here it is again, in all its colourful magical glory.

Here's hoping it doesnt make you sick.

The Might · 12-24-2007, 06:32 AM

Aha, so that's where the Entwives went!
Really, the article made me laugh, especially because it's so true. Next thing you know you'll find out Beorn had an affair with one of the ponies.

Well, as you see on the picture I at least had the pharao-like scepters in the hand when I was on the throne.

And as for the Phantom and Alien episode, is it me or has Alien bought himself a white hat which he later painted red with blood to make it look like a Christmas hat ?!
Because something like that is pretty much his style.

That doesn't look like an Entwife to me, but of course I've never seen one!

This paper deserves a big helping of Awwwh's.

First of all, phantom & alien this monday is wonderful! Merry and Pip are adorable, even in this form. Though, I can't imagine anyone besides Alien having the conscious choice to give them that much catnip.

Also, 'Awh' to the Entwife. I don't see the reason to disapprove, she's lovely, spring as a spruce, jolly as holly and other things that end in... -olly. Besides, how often do any of us see an Entwife, let alone in the Downer? The rights of the Entwife should be respected.

I must say this really made my Christmas merrier

I could have expected this coming, though I was still surprised when seeing that article.

I didn't know such a big affair would arise from that...

"Smrk", now that's great! It must have taken some effort to find this

Yet I just realised - all these previous marriages (and this one as well, while speaking of it) have been the work of Agan & Lommy! See: first I was married to Idril, that was in their WW village. Then I married that wolf, that was not exactly their idea but Nogrod's, yet one never knows whether there was not more behind it. And now this thing with the tree. Agan and Lommy for some reason unknown to me obviously desperately want me to get married.

Aganzir · 12-25-2007, 05:08 AM

It must be some kind of a maternal instict...

But Legate, why is your wife crying? Have you been mean to her or is she just so happy?

According to the slowly increasing amount of blood, I'd say someone has hit him on the head. I guess he deserved it.

My boys are immortalized and now officially part of Phantom and Alien mythology! *sniff* I'm so proud!

Bêthberry · 12-30-2007, 12:07 PM

I must register a protest. This does not look like a Christmas special at all to me. There are no flying reindeer, no elves of any particular breed, nor any noggin's of egg. Surely we could have had the true and full story behind Alfie the Santa Elf but I suppose that was nixed by davem of the Yard.

It really sounds suspiciously like a pre-emptive affair for Hogmanay. That's the big party by all accounts of northern mythologies. Perhaps this coming week those dark and handsome cats walk down from the ceiling for first footing.

Yours truly,
a disgruntled lurker

Hookbill the Goomba · 12-31-2007, 03:34 AM

For this week, thar be trouble a brewin'.

Alien has some strange ideas as usual.

They'll be televised for the 'gross out factor'.

Hookbill has brought back traumatic memories of Scariest Pop Video Ever with the chicken mincer thing, namely Another Brick In The Wall where the kids get minced by the scary teacher with a head like a hammer. It gave me nightmares as a kid, it still gives me nightmares now.

Glad to see I helped contribute to your celebrations of Hogmanay. Now what was it--fireball swinging you were doing, or practice for the burning of the clavie?
