Hey, Hookbill! You spelled Mr. Marx's name with a C, it's suppose to be a K!

Rune -- here's a catchy slogan for your next advertisement:
"At Runes', nobody can beat our meat!"

I feel that it is my duty to inform you that Hookbill had nothing to do with the wrong spelling of Karl Marx's name.
It was the way I comisioned the advert. . .I thought it would increase my meats apeal to tolkien fans. You see in the Danish LotR books (Ringenes Herre) names such as Cirdan and Celeborn is spelled Kirdan and Keleborn, this is so in order to make it easier for Danes to understand how it should be pronounced. I simply figured that by writting Carl Marx rather than Karl Marx it would bring a touch of middle-earth to the product and thus increas the interest from Downers.

Special thanks to TheGreatElvenWarrior for the second story of doom.
Sorry about the main story... I couldn't resist.  This week, Mr. Phantom reads some disturbing news...  Next week, there may be cake... But probably not...

I love it! Alien says all sorts of things to make the Phantom very mad and distressed! How funny. The perfect answer to the question "Was it something I said?"

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir, Madam or Cat: I must protest in the most strenuous possible terms the article entitled 'Cereal Box Discovered Having Affair With Toaster'. The very thought of it is absurd! Look, in my part of the country ready-to-eat breakfast foods do not mingle with electric kitchen utensils. It just is not done! You have gone beyond the bounds of decency reporting an odd bit of decadent, amoral and obviously deviant behavior that is certainly outside the realm of culinary taste. Oh yes, I can hear the jokes now: 'What, were they caught spooning?' or 'Oh, she was a real Pop-tart alright!' and so on and so forth, thus trivializing the monogamous and God-given commandments rendered unto food groups and their associated utensils. Steak knives cut meat, butter knives butter bread, toasters make toast, bowls and spoons are made for cereal -- this is the bedrock and foundation of a civilized pantry! What next, electric blenders furtively mixing with salmon? The silver tea set slumming with pork and beans? Bananas lasciviously stripping for the can-opener? It shall be perversion in the pantry! Clammering in the cupboards! Chaos in the kitchen! We shall be knived, scooped and forked before the morning coffee percolates! Cereal killers! Cereal killers and appliance abominations! Sincerely yours, Emma Little-Teapot Short-on-Stout, Harrismehandle, Heresmespout Co. P.S. Sorry for the outburst. Sometimes I get so steamed up, I just shout.

Poor Phantom, he made a simple remark about cats being evil and now everyone is out to get him.
 That first story was hilarious, Hookbill. Do the Downs always dress their astronauts up like Eskimos?

And that picture doesn't look like Eskimos (and if your in Alaska by the way, don't call them Eskimos) The real thing has very colourful clothing. Have you seen the parkas? Very pretty! And Tea can definitely improve your life!

Random Quote #741: "I like being in the Downer!"
Quote:
It's a drink some people wake up with That it makes them nervous is no myth Slaves to a coffee cup, they can't give coffee up! I don't like coffee! But I absolutely love tea, that all started when my mom, gramma, my mom's friend and I went for tea in the Empress hotel in Victoria. Before that, I hated tea. But coffee even more so.

A Question For Hookbill!!!!
I just now noticed that the Phantom and Alien were on week #96, is there going to be something special for week 100 or is it just going to be another week?

Yes, yes, Hookbill, I already get it about tea.
And the newspaper Phantom was reading tells the truth: stress does cause diarrhea! |

Poor Phantom.Alright, I'm going to reveal a bit about my plans for The Phantom and Alien 100th episode extravaganza! We're not quite sure what form it will take, but we're pretty certain that is' going to be musical. YES! The Phantom and Alien sing a duet! Anyone got any suggestions for a song for them? Nice and ironic, but one they can divide between one another. At the moment, I'm thinking: Love me do - The Beatles When I'm Sixty Four - The Beatles Rocket Man - Elton John Mad World - Tears For Fears But we're open to suggestions. What would you like to hear me and my brother singing in stupid voices?

Hmm... I think that the Elton John song would be funny!
How about these songs?Take this job and shove it- Johnny Paycheck The Gambler- Kenny Rogers Just some good ol' classic, country songs!  EDIT: I think this post is bad luck, it's my 666th post!!

That was the worst rule ever!
I was in the Downer, I'm honored! But there's just one problem... I don't remember saying that... I must have done it when I was sleeping... Either that, or the news lied
... nah, that never happens.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sirs: I must reverently applaud the latest edition of your paper. Very rarely in this sodden era of quick sound-bytes, media overkill and celebrity sexploitation has a publication presented news with such conciseness and clarity. Your columnists deserve accolades for their perspicacity, keeness of wit and literary flair. Henceforth, I shall get all my news from one and only source: The New York Times. Oh, wait...I seem to be on the wrong website. Please disregard everything I've said. Iris Myopia Plainview, NY USA

The only paper I will ever read is the one, the only, the Downer!
The only thing that would stop me is if I had to pay money for it. Then I wouldn't read any news!
