Dark-Eye Go BWH!
The BWH has a better chance of winning, besides he'll do less damage!

WAHOO! I was mentioned twice!! Those darn kids! I put paint on my door mat, and when I answered the door, they threw it at me!

What does a Deputy Prime Minister do? (besides make up crazy things that random people didn't say :P )

Loslote, Rune doesn't like you any more.

Custard looks like vanilla pudding. Yum!

Phew, they didn't find my fingure prints at the ba-....you didn't here it from me...


Edit: in the middle of typing this Safari messed up lost everything and I had to type it from the Google app

It's because you're now everyone's favourite Downer. You liked my bean story then?

Yes I do. Thank you very much!



Edit: Everyone's favorite Downer? How so?

Because Hooky and I both included you in our stories somehow. Revenge for the poor baked beans! I had just ran out of them when I wrote that and was distressed.

Because I was going to write a story about you too.


Oh, Hookbill, that was amazing! Especially the newspaper being gold. And some nice photoshopping you've done there as well.

Wow! I'm famous! (Though I did post something about wanting to be mentioned...)

I want to see this!

You just pm Hooky with an article you've written and, if it's the right length and he doesn't have something else already planned, he might put it in.

And don't worry; read the Downer long enough and articles about this feud will turn up. They always do. (Of course, after he got me stuck in jail, I had less free time to destroy him, but I still do my best. )

Someday I plan to read it all. Starting now.

All of the pictures of me have a password that even I can't type. (just tried it the other day, couldn't do it, I kinda wonder how everyone else does it ) But I don't really care, as long as its not personal. *prepares to get hacked to death*

EDIT: Hookbill will edit an article you send in too if need be. So you really can't go wrong. And it helps the editor to be less stressed, which means that he is funnier, which is always a good thing.
