THE URLING TIMES #2
News and gossip from the Children of Ur

Hooch Shortage Continues
Ur continues to suffer from a severe lack of Hooch. This tasty distilled beverage made from grain is sorely missed by many hard-working Urlings. And yet there's still hope for happy hour. As a stopgap measure, grow some pumpkins in a community garden, buy some beer, break out your cocktail shakers and make a batch of hearty Pumpkin Ale! By crafting a mere 11 Pumpkin Ales, you'll qualify as a Mediocre Mixologist, a credential currently achievable in no other way.
Picnic in Bonebottle Sands
High tea, flummery, and fun - that was the scene yesterday at the Bonebottle Sands Tea at the Groddle Meadows Tea Club semi-weekly picnic. The Urchins attending scattered sandwiches, crabato, and coffee in artistic patterns across the meadows. In a disreputable corner, where the drunken gnome sat with his distilling setup, someone constructed a fruity phallus out of two apples and an inexplicably giant banana. An emblem of Humbaba by a soulful piglet sitting in a "warming platform" (aka a frying pan) invited the picnic-goers to religious contemplation and longing for bacon wallpaper. Tomorrow's picnic will congregate in Greenvern Mend, under the rainbow! Bring sno-cones!
Military Outpost Vandalized
Major Minor of Drifa reports: Hey! Some joker decorated Fort Aban Don with cherries on all the crenellations. How is the Heli-Kat Army supposed to focus on shooting sno-cone vendor cubis out of their slingshots at the invading Rook-crazed Heli-Kittens, when they're standing on what looks like a delicious ice cream cake with cherries on top? Very distracting.
Events
Rumor has it that the Groddle Meadow Tea Club will have a social hour in Greenvern Mend, 4pm PST. Bring festive treats to share and expect hijinks under the rainbow!

Love this newspaper so much, lizzard! You're very insightful!
A "pinch of salt" was left in Bonebottle Sands after the Tea yesterday. I can only assume it was Zubes or Sir Francis Bacon, notorious No-No Powder slingers.
