Well, I anyway had to lose some weight, so the closing down of the chips factory is a good thing I guess, though they did taste good

And as far as Alien is concerned, I think Lalwende might be right on that one, I could imagine Alien wanting to make an acid-corpse cocktail...poor Phantom

bwahahahahahaha me dead? no...just absent for a long time i'm just stopping by...to tell you the truth(hookbill this is a flash sstory you might want to publish) morsul the once renowned evil chocolate chip with the amazingly high postperdaycount...is slightly bored with the downs having moved onto youtube(where I have some movies posted under this name) search for hey captain starlight)

This week, Alien gets a new hobby...

I'm not at all surprised I was confused by Serious, as cats continue to confuse me with their strange feline ways...I shall be examining his Litter Box for evidence...

Alien this week reminds me of something my friend once told me - that he was once (allegedly) given a slap by a Sunday School teacher for saying it would have been far more impressive had Jonah swallowed the Whale... :eek:

May be, but it certainly would have been funnier. :D
Imagine! Jonah coming to Nineveh all fat and with a whale shape in the middle of him. :rolleyes:

Again a really funny edition of Phantom and Alien...
I would expect Alien to jump towards the Elephant and then swallow him in mid flight...
Anyway I would have wanted to hear more about the orange fridge's bank account

Robemblind Bank gives fridge account!
 

By Michael Delving

On January 21, 2007, at 3:21 P.M., an orange refrigerator walked into a branch of the Robemblind Bank and opened an account. Bank spokesperson Grishwen Bilgewater said, "I don't see any problem with it. He produced all the required documents." Thenamir, the Minister of Moola, was not available for comment but The Barrow-Wight was furious. "What is this world coming to? Doesn't everybody know that refrigerators are not legal persons? I mean they don't have a mind of their own like PCs. The Saucepan Man said, "This is definitely illegal. The refrigerator is only 6 months old." DCI Lalwendë chased away this reporter yelling, "Go away, you blood-sucking gossipmongering half-wit excuse for a huming(sic) being.!" The orange refrigerator, who calls himself Bob, said, "I think the prejudice people are showing towards me is disappointing. The organic essentialist view of personhood has been made obsolete by me and other intelligent machines. I am fully sentient. Age is not relevant to non-biological persons. After a short period of booting up I was fully functional. You know something; I haven't heard any fuss about Lt. Data opening a bank account. I think his humanoid form goes a long way to reducing prejudice against him."

And so it continues!

This week, Alien tries his hand at being Gandalf...

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...s/PandA027.jpg

I'm sure the Penguins will win.

Nice magic trick from Alien!

And I liked the part about vital evidence...guess that's the way police works

Never, the dragons shall come out on top

Random Title #14
 

The nicer side of Sauron, eh? That would make an interesting Downer philosophy class, or maybe ethics?

Fish being outlawed? :(

Seriously now, other ichthyophages besides myself depend on these gilly beings.

I can imagine the serious cat of the downs is rather partial to fish, you know...

I suggest those with this silly 'hydrophobia' look into swimming classes, hypnosis, or just a good pair of water wings before casting all of their water challenges against the fishies.

I'd like to see a bit more about the fish issue, it is serious you see... ;)

The Kinder Side of Sauron. My Interview.
 

by Clap Trap

I was working on an expose of the exploitation of Pelargian fishermen when I received a message from Annatar, normally known as Sauron, the Nameless One, the Dark Lord, the Enemy, or the reason why social welfare budgets have to be cut yet again. It was an invitation to meet him for an interview. I readily agreed. I traveled to the Black Gate, were I showed the guards my press pass and was taken away to Barad-Dur in a blindfold. When the blindfold was taken off, I was in a large room with black walls and a painting of Morgoth wrestling with Tulkas. Sauron was at a black oak desk piled high with paperwork. He was very polite and invited me to pull up a chair and start the interview. I asked him, "Why are you so hated?"

He answered, "I am hated because I am a rebel against the Valarian power structure. I joined Morgoth, at first because Aulë didn't appreciate my talents, but then Morgoth taught me that Eru was a fraud. He was invented by the Valar to justify their authoritarianism. For example, take the case of Míriel. She was plumb tuckered out giving birth to Fëanor and wanted to die, but Mandos, the most rigidly authoritarian of them all, wouldn't let her. And they had this big debate about whether Finwë could remarry. They decided he could, but they prohibited Míriel from ever coming back from Mandos's gloomy halls if he did. I thought the reason they were so upset with Míriel was because she wanted to die. Why does Finwë suddenly have all this power over Míriel's fate? I'll tell you why. The Valar don't like women having control of their own destinies. Even the female Valar put down women to stay in the good graces of their husbands. The Eru delusion again. It's not right, so they think. But I'm different. I believe in self-determination.

That's what I tried to give Númenor. I believe death is an enemy to be defeated, not an inevitable fact. They are not called the Undying Lands for nothing. And I had no idea that the Valar were so blood thirsty that they would destroy every last person in Numenor who didn't join the treasonous "Faithful." I'll tell you what they were faithful to: racism and authoritarianism. These people willingly cooperated in their own subjugation by the Valar and the elves."

Q: "Where did orcs come from?"

A: "They evolved from apes, just the same as humans, dwarves, and elves. Just because orcs are hideously ugly doesn't mean they are evil."

Q: "But what about the alleged atrocities?"

A: "They are Valar-friend propaganda. I admit the orcs sometimes don't take prisoners, but it's payback for long years of oppression. Beautyism is a pernicious philosophy that degrades minorities. And what about the millions of people the Valar killed in the downfall of Numenor? Human sacrifice is a beautiful thing. It's a way of adoring those who have given you everything."

Q: "Do Balrogs have wings?"

A: "I'm not telling you that."

Q: "What is your favorite food?"

A: "Mincemeat pie."

Q: "What is your favorite color?"

A: "Black."

Q: "What is the Void? Do you know?"

A: "It's a prison in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. Rumor has it that Morgoth has built a fabulous kingdom called Sha Ka Ree there. Sorry! I'll have to end the interview. I've tons of paper work to catch up with."

I said good-bye and was blindfolded again and let off at the black gate. I hope you enjoyed this glimpse of the kinder, gentler side of Sauron; the side they don't want you to know about.

Yes, it's that time again, folks!

But don't think I've forgotten Phantom and Alien. This week, The Saucepan Man makes a come back!

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...s/PandA028.jpg

Haha, I always knew there was something wrong with Sleepy... :p

I just wish he'd show up here on the 'downs in honour of that brilliant article about him...

I'm not deeeeeaaaaad!
 

Ahem, I'm sorry but I've been unable to use the computer much due to school/university and such. I will however be making a triumphtant return in April. Yes, I have something planned.

Also since it never got out I believe, TORE won ME Idol. In other news, that was not me it was my doppleganger.

interesting couple there - a chicken and a wight

Random Titles get married.....
 

Aw. I always knew he had a soft spot for feathers.

wow... silly police always surrounding my house... won't they learn that the endangered pandas i smuggled over are in a warehouse across town...

That kid probably deserved it anyways...

~ Ka, not a doppleganger

I can see the Headline now: "Sleepy Return ruined by Alien." :p

Holy fried Rings! I used to have a chicken exactly like that one!!

But our marriage ended because...she was a hen.

You keep suprising me Mr. Hookbill, I am wondering if you will ever run out of stories for the Newspaper.

I expect I will... eventually. :D

Anyway. I keep getting asked why Phantom allows Alien into his house. I belive this cartoon explains it...

http://i7.tinypic.com/2ugcqif.jpg

I have a feeling that he'll run out of paper before he runs out of news. :D

The dark side of Alien... :eek:
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...lds/Neila3.jpg

The plot thickens I guess...I wonder who the Master is...
And how they want to get rid of Phantom

I think its dangerous to try and make explanations as to why Alien is there at all. :p

But I like the fact that he ate half the table! :D

Exactly!!! :D

P.S. Judging from its speech, I get a bad feeling that the Master is either a skwerl, or maybe even the... you-know-who (no, not THAT one)

Once again it is time to delve into the deeps of insanity...

http://i7.tinypic.com/2lw14bc.jpg

But let us not forget that lovable duo.

This week, a cameo from Thinlómien!

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...s/PandA029.jpg

I think I know what happened to the pilot...:p

I doubt it Might, as Alien doesn't look any fatter than normal. Though he may have an extremely fast metabolism ...

Random Tiltes begin to thaw.....
 

I think they'll have to thaw the chicken before they try to interview it. Otherwise, the conversation will be a little one-sided. But nothing the biased media can't handle!

As for the Alien, I think he's on a diet. He threw the pilot out the window.

I think I'm quite cute. :)

I just wonder if I'm related to Diamond Duck...

Are Ducks related to Penguins? :p

I guess they are... but quite distant relation, you know... *a snob glance at pond-quackers* ;)

So, Penguins are like the upper class relatives that they invite to parties out of politeness but really don't want them to come.

I think this could be a story for the Newspaper! :D

We are not like Sackville-Bagginses or anuthing the like! How rude! :eek:

We penguins are nice folk.

I only now realised that thing is supposed to be a penguin...looked more like a crow to me at first

i thought it was a turtle.. .but now its a penguin... meh...

Penguin - Turtle, Potato - Potato
