 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 original machine when it was cheapest and resell it later for huge profits. In the end, the original machine was sold for 322 Herm Dollars to a rich Herm in Mountainville who now claims to be offering free pancake services to any Duff Herms who want to become his Herm. He says, “My house is too big and lonely…. I need more Duff Herms because it’s just me and the pancakes … mmm … the pancakes.”

This mouth watering statement has apparently attracted ten new Duff Herms to Mountainville in search of the mythic Flapjack Dispenser. Most of these Duff Herms were taken in by local farmers who desperately needed more Duff Herms since many had died in Orc raids. It is said that only one Duff Herm managed to find his way to the rich Herm’s house and to see the legendary dispenser. And, it’s safe to say that if he did, he’ll certainly be sleeping under a pile of half-eaten pancakes tonight and hoping his new owner will pour maple syrup on top of him while he sleeps so that the feasting can resume in the morning.

  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 ...

Daily Update 9/4

  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 ...
