We Should Start Our Own Nation

Fellow proggers, we have talked at great length on many weighty subjects, we have discussed sexual orientation, body hair, political bias, drug use, why we hate/love Phil Collins, who is the best (insert subject here) and borne witness to Threefates hugging a multitude of prog legends.

I say that it is time we took this powerhouse of intellect, viltality and (damm it) stunning good looks and form our own nation state. All that is required are the following:

A name for this brave new land

A President or Spiritual Leader,

A national anthem

A flag

I'm sure that everything else will fall into place after that.

My suggestions are:

Name: Topographica

President: Greg Lake - (oh what a lucky man, he was)

National Anthem: Outside The Wall (Pink Floyd)

A flag (okay, I maybe a bit biased here)

What sort of foriegn policy do you think we need! What about immigration? Is it "proggers only" I just think we may need to import a few chicks, er, female companions, albeit of a non-prog disposition, cus 3f8s will be off in the Lake district.

5 Reasons I could replace Greg Lake as his usurper:

1) My name is Greg just like his

2) My last name may not be Lake but I do live near one of the Great Lakes

3) I may not be a bass player but I am a bass fisherman

4) Greg Lake belonged to ELP and I belong to a 3 letter Group as well- GOP

5) Neither one of us e-mailed Prog-Bassist a thank-you letter.

 

nope, cause then our heads will get even further up our own asses until they come out at the top.

heheh what a silly post. it would be nice though if it couold really happen. im always quite annoyed with some fellows and there often obscurely simple music with the drums just going badum badum all the time. so boring, like the people who listen to it. but i bet if it did happen, our state would be bombed by everyone else though...... yea the whole damn world thinks were weirdos.

Meanwhile, back on the Island of Abandoned Progholes, President-for-Life Rideout is getting rather miffed at the fledgling "nation" of upstart Newbies next door:

"Keep sharpening those sticks, you worthless, cringing cowards," he imperiously orders his slack-jawed, starving minions, as apocalyptic visions dance in his capacious brain.....

Fine, but elephants are the only mammals that can't jump.

The camera pans round, and we discover that Cert has been busily re-building his hot-air balloon, which is coming on fine thanks to a huge body of new islanders with more hot air than they know what to do with...

This time, however, the balloon is modelled on the flying machine as designed by Major Clanger.

As launch date approaches, el Presidente Rideoute calls his court dance teacher to bring all islanders together for a merry song and dance.

Unfortunately, the man with the order of the Garten interpreted that to mean all islanders, and let the danbo beast out of its cage.

Fortunately he still had the 20 kegs of ale left over from his barbecue, and was able to tame the savage beast by clobbering it over the head with one.

By the time the 20 kegs of ale, the illicit liquor being dished up by the three fates and the piece of pipe courtesy of emdiar had done the rounds, everyone just wanted to mellow out to some choons.

As everyone was so mellow, no-one argued about what music was to be played - or even what was to be the national anthem: it was agreed by wide consensus that "Whatever comes up next, man" should be the current anthem - making it far more interesting than any other countries' anthem in history!

Exactly

I'm afraid it was a little too obscure a reference for many people.

It didn't help that my graphic mysteriously stayed to the far right.

I won't even bring up Yukon Cornelius
