Ba Herms Seen Sitting on their Bums

As temperatures increase, it becomes more and more vital for working Herms to take extended breaks to recover from the heat and exhaustion of intense farm labor. As many keen Homeless Duff Herms have been smart enough to observe, Ba Herms have been seeing the need recently to take breaks on their butts, sometimes, in the middle of their fields. The Secretary of the Department of Agriculture for the Central Region said today, “I’ve been sitting out the heat today, and I have to imagine that most of the Herms here are doing the same…. If lazy Ba Herms tell us anything at all, it’s that we can be pretty darn certain that the Duff Herms won’t be working at all either, but that’s a problem for Himzoo Herm and the Herm traders.”

Himzoo Herm, however, has bigger problems at the moment. A shipment of rapidly-cultivated corn grown in the isolated region of Bunlahund appears to be too much for his weak stomach, and the Berm has had to announce that we may not be seeing the beloved Himzoo Herm for a few days. Himzoo Herm, however, attended a meeting the following day scheduled by the Hermbul Legislature and the Duff Herm Satisfaction Committee, which he leads. To the surprise of many reporters, who he had told were to expect that he had made a full recovery, he showed up on a chamber pot and it is reported that the Legislature felt bad enough that they agreed to postpone the hearing until Himzoo Herm has recovered.

  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 ...
