Thirded, but it's still strangely hilarious.

Lottie (and wilwa), have you had a look at this and that?
So we've met them before (and it was high time for another appearance!). Think of them as another variation of the P&A theme, like Phanston and Ailsbry or Sir Phantom and Mr Alan; maybe P&A's doubles from a parallel universe, if you like (hence the unintelligible language*). Just don't expect it to make sense - it doesn't, and that's the fun of it.

*As for the language, I have a hunch it may not be as utterly random as it appears at first glance; at least the obvious loan-word kipling suggests some previous intercultural contact with our universe.

I also have a hunch Hookbill is probably laughing his head off at my attempts to explain it, but that's fine.

I was utterly furious with you for five seconds Hookbill . . . all those carefully made predictions centred around Mr Mop. I was so dismayed at their destruction.

By the way, your newspaper prints nothing but the truth. *plugs in blender and lures all the neighbourhood children in for "fun with power tools"* Children are delicious. . . those jelly-based ones too.

And since when have YOU started eating children?! I was the principle child eater here!

Child killing is catching, evidently.

Oh yes, it's all the rage in Anchorage.

*is alarmed*

Um...forget the fact that I'm currently the youngest active Downer (that we know of). *edges away nervously*
