And really, I'm following the developement in Finland keenly as well - not being hasty though. Maybe Lommy will not realise what will hit her after she has first organised the BD-governement in Finland. As the Leader of the BD I will soon be the leader of Finland ruled by BD-party as well...

Not a bad beginnings for a career to become a dictator for a website and an EU-country at the same time!

Tremble Canada! Tremble E-Bay!

What I want to know is if any of these Finnish maver-- er, refor--er, revolutionaries--can hunt or dress a moose.

Here's how it's done in Canada:

Don't worry, Ka, there are worse to come. Funnily enough, the most disgusting ones always involve Alien... Weird that... Let's just say Lal will probably have a nervous breakdown by episode 100 (which I'm about to start drawing... probably tomorrow).

I only accept payment in the form of oats and stoats. And occasionally groats.

Just to let you know; Thursday's Phantom and Alien will involve the return of a very popular character. Can you guess which one? I'll give you a clue; the title of the episode is 'Dummy part 1'...

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Avast ye lubber Editor:

Yarrrrr, me hearty! Sumptin' seems amiss in yer study: 'Pirhanas Eventually Grow Weary of all Cat Diet'. It's a whale of a story, no doubtin', but it's fishy nonetheless. But it does me ol' bones good to hear that salty dog Phantom's got hisself thrown in the brig, and well he should, b'gum! 'Tis fair past time that scurvy Gentl'man 'o' the road done got bilged on his own anchor! Now that the cat's out 'o' th' bag (and not in the fish, so to speak), we'll be havin' no more scuttlebutt from one 'o' the scuppered class, and greasy as an eel to boot! Mayhap more of his bilge-suckin' brood will be dancin' the hempin' jig (if ye pardon me parlance, savvy?).

P.S. Begad, ye blaggardly swabs 'o' the Barrow Downs, keep yer presses shipshape and sailin' full speed ahead. For, truth to tell, we use yer paper in the head, so there be no mess on the poopdeck!

Best wishes, matey, and kiss the gunner's daughter,

Dear Cap'n Melville Pequod,

We have your children. If you do not pay the ransom in thirty three hours we will be forced to feed them to the squid. Besides which, I don't much like your tone of voice. Nor do I fully understand the nature of this 'letter' business.

All the same, I want the money in unmarked gold bars and delivered to the bins outside the local supermarket.

Yours,
Olbert the Tramp.

[in a Mary-Sue-ish childish voice]Mr. Hookbill sir, what exactly is the purpose of the dummy?

The Phantom is planning to fake his own death. As Olburt has already guessed. The idea was first mentioned here.

The BD party?!

Maybe there should be a BD party, that would be an excellent idea: a party devoted to the belief of Tolkien and his Middle-Earth philosophies! No longer will we describe ourselves as Republicans, Liberals, or Communist, I am now a Barrow Downer!

"Ask not what Tolkien can do for you, he's dead give the guy a break, but what you can do for Tolkien!"

Sorry that was and A.D.D moment.

Or Downer for short, it seems most parties are one word labels.

When I saw Beeftastic! up there...I nearly posted a link to a YouTube clip...only to realize that the quote I was thinking of was "Meattastic!" Totally different things.
