Ladies and Gentlemen, Today the Food Wars took an ugly turn.

It all started when this indiviual was spotted (undercover apparently) in the rival food store

and later that same day things turned ugly.

Please be aware that the following clip contains images of a graphic nature.
Nervous viewers and young children should refrain from watching these scenes



our apologies to any who may not have turned the heads quick enough.





Today on the stock market nothing happened. It was closed.




Incredible scenes today on local road as the Annual 3 wheeled tractor race took place.
Here we see Ivor the only competitor on the way to the start line.
Unfortunately he had to make a left turn and never reached it







This GM toad escaped today from a local research Facility.

Experts advise not to lick the toad under any circumstances.



If you do there is no point in calling anyone as all contact
with this particular toad results in instant death.

Personally I'd stay the heck away from it

We now have A Tea Time Channel Exclusive.

We now go live with Los Tauthors Who is researching his lastest
book "where are they now?" for an audio link up only from a remote island south of Shaphiyr-Harren
for an interview with someone thought lost from childhood


"Little" Jack Horner



Little Jack Horner is not little.

He is over six feet tall. He has a shock of white hair and a matching beard that makes him look like

Ernest Hemingway's twin brother.


It is almost impossible to get an interview with Jack Horner because he is somewhat of a recluse who

refuses to speak to the media. He lives in a tiny country on a remote island South of Shaphiyr-Harren

with a total population of seven.


Jacks Farm

Jacks Farm


With only a handful of citizens in the entire nation, Mr. Horner seems to have found the solace and

security he desperately longed for as a youngster who spent most of his childhood sitting in a corner.

Jack Horner is the poet laureate of his country. He is also the Postmaster General, the Grand Marshal of

the annual Brussel Sprout Parade and the nation's Supreme Court Chief Justice.

Mr. Horner, I'm curious as to why you agreed to an interview? This is the first time you have talked to a

journalist in many years.

JH: Poetic justice.

What do you mean?

JH: Your book "Where Are They Now?" It's allowing people to finally know the truth.

How so?

JH: I believe my peers and I have been unfairly slotted into a category that has labeled us for the rest

of time. Somewhat like the Bee Gees will forever be blamed for disco, we, as in the folk who are forever

known as 'fairy tale' characters, find it hard to be taken seriously. It's like Winnie the Pooh becoming

a lawyer. No matter how hard he studies or how well he does at Cambridge, Winnie the Pooh is not going to

get the big cases. He'll be an ambulance chaser or something.

You said "my book will help people finally know the truth". What exactly do you mean?

JH: Yes, the truth. Like the story of the three little pigs. Some reports say that two of them died.

That's utter nonsense. They have a successful company and are living off the fat of the land.

Yes, I interviewed them recently.

JH: Remember Humpty Dumpty? Well, they did manage to put him together again. Unfortunately!

What do you mean?

JH: He's in hiding, the fat little creep! They patched him up. He's back in business.

I'm lost.

JH: He's a Mexican mob man. Humpty Dumpty Don. Head of the Huevos Rancheros family.

A mobster!

JH: He's a killer. That fat b******* had Harry Hollandaise whacked. Got him in the bath. Power cable in

the water. It's an old mob trick. Harry didn't stand a chance. He was poached before he knew it.

Shocking! What do you think happened to 'Big' Eggs Benedict?

'Big' Eggs Benedict?

JH: Yes.

I don't know?

JH: He got fried. They locked him in a tanning bed for an entire day. Sunny side up. Not a pretty sight.

He was covered in SPF 50 but it didn't help. It's like facing a tank with a bulletproof vest.

Wow!

JH: And what about Florentine, Humpty's very own brother-in-law.

What happened to him?

JH: He was whacked, cracked and folded into a wedding cake. Nobody knew it. Poor fool was consumed by his

own family at his daughter's wedding. They were oblivious. Here they are dancing to a really bad New

Jersey wedding band and stuffing cake in each other's mouths. It's disgusting!

Anyone else?

JH: Yeah. Egg Foo Yong. Humpty's Chinese mob counterpart.

Scrambled?

JH: No. Think egg-drop soup from forty stories up. Let me tell you, Jackson Pollock would have been

proud. If I ever see Mr. Dumpty, that little creep, I'll kick his free-range butt from here to the

nearest Kentucky Fried Chicken.

So, I believe you spend your time here on the island writing poetry.

JH: That is correct.

Now, I read somewhere that you consider yourself a loner.

JH: That is correct.

Why is that?

JH: Because I spent most of my childhood in a corner and I enjoyed it.

There was a rhyme that went something like "little Jack Horner sat in a corner eating a Christmas pie...

JH: ...he put in his thumb and pulled out a plumb and said "What a good boy am I?" The whole thing is total

rubbish because firstly I'm not little; actually I was always pretty big for my age and secondly, it

wasn't Christmas pie. It was a kugel. I'm Jewish.

You were made to sit in a corner...

JH: No, no no. That is not correct. All the talk about me being abused as a child and finally running

away to this island is nonsense I CHOSE to sit in a corner. I had 15 siblings and we lived in a tiny

house. I was the last born and hiding in a corner was the only place I could find any peace and quiet.

Why did you come to this island then? Was it to get away from people hounding you?

JH: Not at all. Do you see that island girl over there sitting on the beach? The one beckoning me? The

stunningly gorgeous girl with the silky skin and shiny black hair...

I sure do.

JH: That's why I live on this island.

Well, I guess that concludes this interview. Uh, when does the ferry leave from this island?

JH: Next Tuesday.

Really.

JH: Uh, huh. I suggest you pull up a hammock and rest for a while.

Now Back to you in the studio

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Derry the King of ummm what is it called gosh oooh thats right Gossip is Back!!!! Yay woohooo this was soo cool Derry from the newscast to the interview to the random pics and also to the Devo 08 announcement!!! Sunny side up ehh hmmm now that is the best way to have a good egg gone bad lol!!! Cant wait to see the next update!!!

[threestooges]

Great to see another update. The interview with J.H. was quite the laugh (egg drop soup from 40 stories) and the newscast was an interesting style of presentation. The random pic of suburbia looks great (perhaps photo comp material) and the JH farm looks great with the RRP stuff in it. The pic for train fans (I'm one of them) looks great and I like the subtle slopes that are in the pic. Strangely you don't see too much of that. Slopes seem to be horizontal or vertical but a very gradual one can look very good (as you have shown). With the Parisian Walk looking like that, I can only imagine what the cable ratings are around there (fire up another power plant). Upton looks like it's off to a good start, and I hope to see more of it soon, but until then, good work on this update and I hope my reply is at least mostly coherent. Until next time, take it easy.

Hello TTC

That was a very entertaining update. I liked every SC4 picture and read every word. You can make some great looking neighborhoods. The bit about the three wheeled tractor race got a chuckle. I really liked Jacks farm. 

[Schulmanator]

LOVED IT!!! Don't know which I liked better - the news, the interview, or the great SC4 work. I think I know which key you clicked to post this update:

[bat]

Beautiful new update there, TTC! And wonderful work on that story! Great pictures!

Looking forward to the next...

[JoeST]

magic, as always

[Simpson]

Very good update there 
Your city look very good and realistic continu happy to see more 

[Jmouse]

Fantastic update, Derry! Gotta' love the presentation - just too clever!

But strip away the window dressing and we're left with a long string of stunning, competition-quality photos. There is no way to pick a favorite because each one has its own unique voice.

This one was well worth waiting for!
