Cascadia

[GreyCoyote]

When I become Emperor of The Sovereign Nation of Cascadia, I will set aside a suitable location, call it the Burning Man National Park, and make the whole week a National Holiday.

You got my vote!

Running under the Dust Party flag maybe?

[maladroit]

the org may have been working on such contingency plans for years?

I think the Org has enough trouble planning things that have already occurred.

As a festival organizer myself, this made me laugh out loud, for serious.
It's kinda like that.
And our festival only sells 10k tickets.

(Hey, let's keep an eye on the subject headings, so they all say Cascadia from now on. Looks like Moop Map headings are still getting in here.)

[ygmir]

I"m seeing a power play here......Elliot is gunning for Emporer, Britz is "Supreme Leader Madame President of Cascadia" (though, I could see that title changed to "Supreme, Uber, Cascadian King....Infinately Tenured")


we need to work this out.
Elliot, would you be Crown Prince?

[BBadger]

I assume that in this new country that burgins will be required to wear their yellow stars to denote their status.

[ygmir]

a venerable mod. here, once suggested renting a sod farm in central OR. for the burn..........., it'd be in Cascadia, and all!!

Virgin is a pretty wide ranging moniker.......can you specify? and, really Jimi Hendrix said it best.

Since the Candidate for Madame President lives in Northern Cascadia, I would settle for Omnipotent District Governor For Life of Southern Cascadia. This should still get me laid.

Omnipotent Leader Declared For All Remaining Time?

This is an acceptable arrangement.
But get the title right. Supreme Leader Madame President.

Excuse me, Elliot is not an OLDFART until we elect him so.

[Patsh]

Oh yeah, and he's definitely got my vote!

I can say that, being older than he. Assuming I'm even allowed to vote...

I'm glad SOMEONE gets my anagram names........dang I feel alone. hahaa

he's a good man

[Elliot]

I was about to point out that I have been commuting for years on the Foothills Area Rapid Transit trains, but I seem to be too late to play.

So... administration of Cascadia has been amicably distributed between Northern and Southern Districts.

But where will the Constitutional Congress meet? The Cascadian Allting? Obviously, at the Hof. Which is in the Southern District. Heheheheheh....

good point Elliot.........I can easily see the first constitutional meeting at the Hof. if necessary, further could be up on B.C.? back and forth if needed? Though, I'd bet a few days at the Hof, we'd all agree on so much, it'd be done.
I plan on applying for court jester, since the positions of power are filled. unless, I can find a village without an idiot.

[Simon of the Playa]

can i run the central stupidity agency?


i have a lot of stupid friends who can provide us with all of the stupid truths to set us free...

Oh, I am SO on to you now. I used to think you were nuts. Brilliant, but nuts. But now I see how you have been positioning yourself for years for this very day. Patiently, like a Zen spider.

People Of Cascadia! Hear me!!! I foresee a day when sock puppets will get the right to vote. And when that tragic day comes, Simon Of The Playa will sweep our newly created system into the dust bin of history and crown himself King Of The Realm.

First it was the CSA. Then you leverage your way into the seat of ultimate power!

I'm watchin' you, Simon.

[Simon of the Playa]

i will claim i was out of the loop, and it will work.




and then i will wear mis-matched red socks, and NO ONE will be able to say shit to me...




not to mention i will put my son on the throne after i am done.




*insert evil patrician kennebunkport laugh....HERE*

[GreyCoyote]

The wicked witch had her flying monkeys. But what do *I* have?

Moths.

Fear me, Simon Of The Playa. My little pretties are coming for your socks...

[Simon of the Playa]

were you THERE?

[GreyCoyote]

"...I have no recollection of that event, Mr. Senator..."

[Roberto Dobbisano]

should we break out the 7 other sleepers?

[H.G.Crosby]

if you dig that crazy bull dyke, Liz Estrada out of the Plaid Vest Dust-Bin i'm quitting.

[GreyCoyote]

Not until I have a chance to caffeinate.

(You've got two hours on me. If I'm going on a sock-hunt, there must be coffee...)

[ygmir]

*stumbles in door*

I see in Cascadia, a very good start. We have Britzbitz, a seasoned event organizer, poster (D.A.) inhabitant, and super nice, and Elliot, known Nice Guy, ingenious inventor and all around good at spelling and grammar.

I have this dream:

Between them, I see the formation of a society free of angst and petty squabbles. I see cartoons flowing freely, without bias or inhibition.
I see also, The Marx Brothers, 3 Stooges, Abbott and Costello and Our Gang, as roll models for social interaction and tolerance.
I see corner fountains, flowing grape flavor aid, freely and unpolluted.
I see a park, where Foghorn Leghorn, Heckle and Jeckyl, Super Chicken and "Killer, the Vulture", can hold hands and dance in circles, without threat from Sylvester.
I see streets where the speed limit signs just say "safe", and because we care, it works.
I see Jots on corners, clean and blue, without gender signs, because, really we all fart..........
I see grocery stores, with bacon and pickle isles.
I see signs, that say "drink some water"
I see our internal police, patterned after the Keystone Cops
I see border patrols, just like Perimeter on the playa, staffed with highly intelligent, good looking, witty patrol folks.
I see our border crossings, manned by giggling naked greeters, handing out informative papers, and subjecting new residents to a challenging gauntlet of hugs, dust angels and bell ringing. This also serving to dissuade any marauding bands of ner do wells, knowing they'd have to interact with our greeters, en masse.
I see free flowing absinthe fountains in parks, and hemp hedges, where there is never a need for grooming.

This, is the beginning of my dream. Please add as you feel moved.................

[Simon of the Playa]

sounds great!



just add DUST.

[ygmir]

instead of sandboxes, we'll have adult dust boxes (kids lungs being tender still), where we can roll, enclosed in lexan, so they'll get super hot, and we can turn on tornado fans for the necessary white outs when called for.

[Simon of the Playa]

i'll take eastern oregon....its desolate, and dusty.

and full of coyotes.
