Well, well, its Monday again!

This week, Alien tries to sell stuff to Rune... What could possibly go wrong?

The Downer would like to apologise for the lack of content in last weeks paper. Due to a printing error, the inside was full of soil.

Now, ladies and Gentle Wights, we finally get an insight into Alien's Family...

His mother looks like Sally Struthers as Jabba the Hut on a South Park episode.

I don't watch South Park, so it is not deliberate.

I was thinking of having Alien's father turn up to. He was going to be an old Intellectual Gentleman... and Inteli-gent.

Something for the Barrow Downs Products page?

Frodo hasn't sought Sam's love advice yet? Or worse yet, it hasn't worked?

The New York Times trying to take Phantom & Alien?

Tisk, tisk...

I would have thought The New Yorker would try to pull something like that, in some attempt to boost ratings beyond one wrung of society.

Nice to hear that they didn't try, but what do we know about tempted?

the phantom met The Phantom?

I think the universe would collapse. Now, what would happen if Alien met the Alien from the film... Alien?

We'd have another sequel, of course...

Or, more like a dark comedy spin-off.

I actually believe the film Alien won't bear the Alien's company and willingly shoot himself out of an airlock.

So, yes, we'd have another sequel with the typical cliché

Hookbill the Goomba · 10-15-2007, 01:58 AM

Wow, it's that time once again. How will we cope?

This week, Alien makes a mess...

Hookbill the Goomba · 10-22-2007, 11:58 AM

I'm fairly confident that lal and Davem have a good sense of humour... but... Is this the most controversial Downer yet?

(thanks to the phantom for the mini heads and the second story)

This week, we get to meet The Phantom’s nephew…
