Great Hermlake Robberies Are Exaggerated

        Recently, reports have spread throughout Great Hermlake City (GHLC) that a group of robbers informally known as the Nog Bandits are terrorizing the city making as many as four robberies a night. Some local newspapers have reported on it and it did not take long for the startling news to reach the HermPost Headquarters in GHLC. After a few hours of consideration by the local reporters and a lengthy investigation by local authorities, it was determined that the robberies were being used as propaganda by the Conspiracy Theorist Party who were exaggerating them by using their lobbyists and trying to manipulate the public to gain more votes. Last night, when the Berm heard the news, he said, “Nasty conspiracy theorists! I won’t say if they’re right about Fig Duffs, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were behind these robberies … it seems like just the thing they’d do. I’ll have to investigate it.”

        We told Himzoo Herm the news because we wanted a humorous anecdote to lighten this grim article, and he did deliver. “Robbers! I hate robbers! Unless … there is no unless, of course …. I was just reading a book that says there’s always an exception … yeah, definitely; I’m positive. Uh … how did they do it? I could use some robbers to help me with that new Golden Doccer Ball they’re making in Pologma … wait what … don’t include that last one. You know I’m not gonna spend more money on Doccer Balls, in fact, why would anyone think that; I’ve never done anything like that before. Wait what … I’m leaving before I say anything else stupid.”

  Homeless Duff Herm Guild Protests Against Large Scale Advertisement The HDHG, the largest free Duff Herm organization in the country, have begun nationwide protests, some revolving into uncontrollable mobs, that have gathered in the country’s largest cities to protest big advertisements and billboards. The Department of Emergency Management says that, “Two hundred billboards worth a grand total of 1,900 Herm Dollars were destroyed by protesters.” While the Department (which is largely run by members of the HDHG) discusses their next move, the Homeless Duff Herm Guild has started a massive mobilization of militias across the country. The leaders of the guild have been silent about their intentions, but the members of the militias believe that they are needed to protect Hermistan from some unknown external threat. Currently, around a thousand Duff Herms march to the border of the Umbucci Clan of Stanistan, leading them is legendary General Jim Kurt.  One HermPost reporter ...

  Herm In Walizburg Invents Flapjack Dispenser In Walizburg, the region that has already made such notable inventions as the double salt shaker which could dispense two different kinds of salt by just pressing one button, a young Herm craftsman and his Eri Herm apprentices invented a creation that may go down in history as a Duff Herm’s flappyjakiest toy: the Flapjack dispenser! This new innovation has already won awards from many different Herm science institutes for its clever use of mechanics and levers. Currently, two hundred copies have been made, and a hundred and eighty-two have been sold for 4 Herm Dollars and 15 cents to a throng of lucky Herms who happened to walk past the store by chance when they were going out to do their daily chores in the city and couldn’t resist buying their Duff Herms this wonderful late Christmas present.  After all the publicity from the various local newspapers, the new invention attracted many rich Herms who were eager to buy the orig...

  HDHG Suspected of Illicit Activity When one Herm, a resident of Pozny, received a letter that he had acquired a vacant plot near the center of town, he did not know whether to be frightened or happy. He ignored the letter, dismissing it as spam, but more and more just kept coming. Stubbornly, he continued to ignore the letters, until, around a week after the letters had started coming, he received a letter from the Mayor’s Office saying that the lot was poorly kept and evidence suggested it belonged to a hoarder, and, that unless he took care of his property, the City Council was going to fine him for neglect of property. Confused, the Herm went to the clerk of the Mayor’s Office and asked if they had, in fact, sent that letter. To his surprise, according to the City’s records, he had owned the property for eleven years now. Understandably, a lot left untended for eleven years would definitely show signs of neglect. Upon finding himself in the center of the City by chance the ...
