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.

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.

The latter, of course. I wouldn't be mean to her in any case - I am always a gentleman, especially towards trees.

Well, the Phantom and Alien Christmas Special was lost in the depths of space. But worry not, good people. Last night three members of the Downer staff got stuck behind the fridge in the basement. It took three lorries and a crane to set them lose, and once we did, we discovered an old film can with this inside it:

Before they were famous, before they were feverish, before they were funny, it's...

Hope you all enjoy watching it.
