I read about that cat. . .I never saw the photos before thought and they made me quite sad as that cat is identical to my old cat Misser. He too had a blue and a green eye and was all white, he how ever did not ride busses and died of cancer some years ago.





I think it would be cool if we could nominate other peoples posts.

Did you notice the subtle link to it being the 40th issue this week? 40 years of uncloaking? I thought it was good.
Not until now...great story for the 40th week.

nothing in the Downer about CoH? I'll post this brief I 'found' on my 'local newspaper's website'.

New J.R.R Tolkien Epic Released

by Kenneth Herberton (wire service correspondent)

To the glee of fans, the new book 'The Children of Hurin' appeared on bookstores Tuesday. The Children of Hurin is a new work from the deceased J.R.R. Tolkien. Tolkien began work on the novel in 1918, but finally finished it a few weeks ago due to pressure from HarperCollins. It was transcribed for publication by a mysterious psychic/medium known only as 'CT'.
The tale (written entirely in Quenyan, Tolkien's language of the dwarves)centers around Turin Turambar, a mighty hobbit who, despite advice from his companion, Glaurung the dragon, marries his sister causing him to accidentally kill everyone he sees. Children of Hurin takes place long before The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien's famous re-telling of Wagner's Nibelungen der Ringe.
Many have speculated over whether it will be developed into a film, and in fact, an adaptation by New Line Cinema starring Orlando Bloom as Turin and Eddie Murphy as every other character is currently in production.

"Miscalculation"? Bollocks. I did it on purpose: nobody forces me to dance without certain, shall we say, reprecussions.

I like a little alliteration in my literature, but a little alliteration goes a long way.

Not even if they bring offerings of flowers, chocolates and some really good claret?

You and I have very different definitions of the word "force" apparently.

Special thanks to The Phantom for writing the second story and the mini headlines...

*applause* Now this was absolutely great. Even from the topmost headline "Outbreak of hastiness threatens ent community"... And today's comic strip as well. TP was probably quite lucky that Alien decided to spend some time with robbery instead of passing time with him, otherwise we wouldn't see the second article.

The headline doesn't upset you, SPM? I thought for sure it would send you into a frenzied rage.

Now I have to spend time coming up with another SPM headline.

Let's hope Lal hasn't been watching too much Gene Hunt from Life On Mars or Alien's in for a hard time of it in the lost property room...
