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?

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

Hate to say it, but all I know about Doctor Who is that it's some sort of sci-fi tv show.

So no, I actually didn't have that in mind when I wrote the headline. But it's good to see that I make interesting references that people enjoy even when I don't mean to.

I've watched Dr. Who like 12 times... there was this one really creepy episode, anyway yes Dr. Who is a Sci Fi TV show, I bet you could look it up on Wikipedia...

Anyway as I was going to say, how can 63% of people say they don't take surveys and this information comes from a survey... I am going to sue the Downer for fraudulent claims! I don't want to read a newspaper that does not give off information that is correct!
