This week, Folwren (with help from Finduilas, I think) wrote the second story.
Alternate version: Due to an impending court case, The Phantom and Alien can't be with us this week. So, all the way from Fugrolshenslarviar, we have the most popular comic strip in Eastern Griodira: Fungoltch and Shcmurt...

My copy of the paper was delivered without the 470-page arts and crafts insert - can I order that separately?

Well, you will have to pay for the truck needed to deliver it. Given that each page is nine inches thick, the full insert requires several lorry loads to deliver. It will cost you 470 Notes.

I don't think I like Fungoltch and Shcmurt...
Seriously, that was a very funny one.

The best since 1947, to be precise. But I do hope that we'll not get too much of Fungoltch and Shcmurt in the future.

Yum! That Tornado Sandwich looks good!
Is Fungoltch related to the phantom?

I can't even figure out what they said... poor me who is only fluent in English and can speak a few words in Russian, German, and Spanish.

As is always said, 'once you loose your reputation you can live more freely'...
Well, that is as long as you avoid people in general I guess. That tornado does look nice, minus the mysterious cheese inside, mozzarella? It looks a lot better than any torando I've been in, those were mostly hot air, pieces of homes, dust, rocks, tree, and random articles of clothing.

No, but Shcmurt is.
One of those occasions where, in absence of jokes, one goes for the bizarre. A New version of the paper is up, by the way. Folwren's picture has been included. The Sandwich was a temporary measure.

I originally entitled it 'Fungoltch and The Shcmurt' to make it more opposite to 'The Phantom and Alien'.

For Laurinquë and TheGreatElvenWarrior --
Fungoltch and Shcmurt are speaking "high middle mispelled Dinglish" and are saying: Fungoltch: Frog, you're crappy! Shcmurt: Lost grams. Fungultch: Where did you put the semi-rotten wood? The door list is gone! Shcmurt: Fun dagger? Fungoltch: Mulch. Shcmurt: Must dig grave? Last edited by Rikae; 03-05-2008 at 06:37 PM. |

It is possible that photo op shows Cheif Insectpor davem was merely attempting to imitate his new son's awesome achievements in regurgitation but failing miserably in the projectile category. However, other interested readers of The Downer might recall that green blood suggests two other possibilities: either C.I. davem is ingesting large quantities of anti-migraine drugs (aka not-so-cheap over the counter drugs) OR he all along has been hiding from us his Vulcan heritage.
I think this definitely allows for Downer journalists to investigate this situation. We could have the reknown expert Dr. Spock here amidst us--why, even Michael Martinez would be jealous of such expert presence.

Maybe he's just been eating my cooking? Or it could be that he has been chewing his biro. Not that, for one moment, I'd suggest he is a pedant and writes letters in green ink: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_ink

Wait... I'm absolutely SURE I posted the paper this morning... seems to have vanished... I'll post it again...
Special thanks to the phantom for the second story and the min-heads. Alien's dark side starts to show... again... I hope that it vanished because of the forum problems and not because it was inappropriate or anything.

Oh, how rude! This time they surely overdone it!
And by the way, I don't think I wish I had Indiana Jones' hat. If more people say that, I think we are going to get the picture of who the Downers who want it are by ellimination method

That only means that he is NOT counted among those who'd wish they have it; as he already HAS it. So another one apart from me who belongs to the 24%.
Provided, that the Downers together make just 100%. It may be as well possible that it's more...

I don't want his hat either. I'm more of a phrygian myself.
If Gil killed Davem (again), then what is with Davem's mass production? I'm beginning to suspect that not all of the items on fire and display by Gil are roadkill. ~ Curious Ka

I want the Indiana Jones hat. Even though I don't look good in hats at all.

I am very much hoping that that sign behind Gil is photoshopped....And if it is how did you do it? I am trying to photoshop this sign into saying "Welcome to Mordor" but cannot quite pull it off.
By the way I find the sideline comment of "Man falls in toxic waste, devlops super-power "I can die incredibly fast!" very charming, and yes I mean it. |

Wow, the "peoples" of Mordor have greatly improved their agriculture. It must be all that lava fertilizer.

davem has already got an Indiana Jones hat. So

All right, I admit it!
I didn't actually take a poll about the Indiana Jones hat! I just assumed that nearly everyone thought the hat was cool but figured a few people already had it- thus the 76% number I pulled from the air. I was going to go with 71% originally, but I thought I'd up it just because I think Indy rocks.

Alright that does it!! I think that since Hookbill has started this obsession with Indiana Jones hats I think that it is only fair for him to buy some for us. At least until the 76% are satisfied.
