The Barrow Downs Newspaper - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Either write an article about vowels and linguistics, or face the fury of Chat sqururlulrlrs or however you spell it.

A new activity for the newspaper:
I'll begin a story, and anyone can finish it off, if you so wish. Someone could also provide a picture if they so wish.

Police remove Skin in bid to stop crime.

In local news, it has been announced that several residents of The Barrow downs have had their skin confiscated by police. DCI Lalwende of the Yard expressed concern at the latest move by Scottish Yard, saying, "ever since skin was reclassified as a class A drug, davem hasn't stopped buying it."

More on this story as it unfolds. Or rather, as anyone wishes to add to it...

While she said this, her skin was stolen from her and she ran off. Everyone on the Downs has been incredibly angry because of this. We interviewed one Wight, Laurinque she said "I like Pie!"...

However, an interview with the pie's family reveals the sordid truth about Laurinque - she is in fact a maniac pie murderer.
"I want my daddy," sobbed a little pieling, as her mother tried to explain why her daddy was never coming home.

Since then, nobody has wanted skin, but now we have a bigger problem. They want pie! So the BWH needed to stop this madness by eating all of the pies on the Downs himself.

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.

It's time for some SHOCKING news...

This week, The Phantom and Alien return!!

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?

The things that go on here when I don't visit

......And in regards to the pie incident, her father was blueberry, and delicious, as was that tornado sandwich.

Also, might I ask what langauge Fungoltch und Shcmurt is in? I feel ignorant.

I know a little Gibberish, and I must say it looks quite like that.

Nonsenseish.

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