Recent Goings On In "the Land Down Under"

[Guest Evan_J]

Just two counties?

Come on. Really. Why think so small? Isn't the big thing to go global? Let's just take over the world and not waste any time.

(cautions his partner to tone down his voice) You know you can't just tell them that from the start.....didn't you ever hear the story of the two bulls at the top of the hill? ....by the time they look up it'll be all "yes your highness, no your highness".

[Guest April63]

I already claimed the world, Jackson. I let Evan take two countries some time ago for some reason. So you want the world? No not happening. lol

[Guest Jackson]

.....didn't you ever hear the story of the two bulls at the top of the hill? ....by the time they look up it'll be all "yes your highness, no your highness".

Better believe I have. I live in the middle of cow country. How could I not?

Okay, okay. I realize I need to learn patience. I could use it now though.

April

Exaaactly, (walks April slowly over to a nice comfortable couch......) so how has that whole thing been working for you?......

[Guest Jackson]

April

Ahh, come on. Can't I sweet talk you into letting us have a little of it? Or bribe?

Rats. Thought I'd try though.

[Guest Evan_J]

Ahh, come on. Can't I sweet talk you into letting us have a little of it? Or bribe?

Rats. Thought I'd try though.

Oh come on now Jackson, you know April better than that. She's too smart for bribing and schoolyard tricks.

[Guest April63]

Yeah, I'm too smart for that, but if you could present a reasonable offer... I might just let you have something. Business is business.

Evan, it's actually working out pretty well. Most of it is top secret classified, so I can't really reveal much of it, but if you came over to the Imperial Intelligence Office, I might be able to get you cleared.

April

[Guest Evan_J]

Why thank you You see that Jackson, smart and personable.

(Get's handed a folded note by a certain unnamed FTM who was just seen on the thread) Yeah right, no one is trying to assinate April.

April those are fairy tales and if you hear them don't believe it for one second.

I actually heard a smidge of the procedings I'm afraid April...one of the scientists on your project drinks too much....of course I'm pretty sure no one else did. .....no they wouldn't have.

And I'm sure its best I'm not "cleared" and all. I'm sure you want to keep that number down.

[Guest April63]

Oh Evan, you don't understand the master plan... Make some things up, give it to the public, and they'll never be on, but on the made up stuff. Alcohol is strictly forbidden to ensure nothing gets out. Nothing true gets out, that is.

April

April

Ooooh I see.

(Starts to see headlines around town....."Self-proclaimed Lordess of the Universe Steals Public Funding while Lying to Tax Payers"...."Government Employees Civil Rights Revoked"......"Public Demands Blood")

[Sally]

Now Evan,

You seem to be uncomfortable with the idea of one woman in power over the entire world - is it a mistrust of anyone with that much power or are you still having those 'sexist' issues that we've talked about before?

April is of course mistaken, she thinks that she is in control, but I saw a very small lady hiding behind a curtain off to the right! Oh my goodness a "Wizard of OZ" reference here in the playground? Watch out for flying monkeys!

Love ya,

Sally - the other 'good witch'

[Guest Evan_J]

**whistles a tune while the angry mob gathers lookin for Aprils head

What's that Sally? Sorry, I was disavowing this entire administration in a written press release making me and Jackson out to be "revolutionaries" who saved the people from this act of tyranny, missed what you were saying.

Did ya see the gal behind the curtain tho? She's a hottie eh? ....I won't tell you what I caught her doin with Jackson......*whistles again

You know, when this whole mess clears up I was wondering if you'd consider an advisory position on the team. There are several people I think could be instrumental in implimenting the types of changes we all want to see.... unilateral recognition of civil rights, transgender health care reform, universal healthcare, dedicated aids research, restructuring of the home lending practices....its going to take help from everyone you know......by the way Tony Romo asked me to give you this (passes her a small piece of paper with seven digits and what distinctly looks like an area code written on it) ....what do ya think?

[Sally]

Well, I don't know, Evan.

Is my getting that piece of paper dependent on my answer?

If so, well I'm your girl! (reaches for paper)

Love ya,

Sally

[Guest jantonio]

Glad you're back Evan and I am glad you are doing fine.

Jose Antonio...

[Guest Evan_J]

Well, I don't know, Evan.

Is my getting that piece of paper dependent on my answer?

If so, well I'm your girl! (reaches for paper)

Love ya,

Sally

I knew you'd want the opportunity to help mankind. (hands over the number) Heck its not like I'm not a good guy. Not like I'm not actually out there wantin the world to be better place. Fairness , social consciousness, the betterment of humankind ..... I don't have anything against any of those things. Of course I have personal flaws (thinks about the "one or two" extra things he pinned on April since she was leaving anyway..... )but everyone does. You know you have to weigh the good with the bad. A guy who just wants a beach house and concubine vs a meglomaniac who confessed to an entire administration operating not only contrary to the will of the people but founded on the belief that the public is ignorant and undeserving of honesty.

My sins are known.

And never have I attempted to convince anyone that I was anything other than what I was.

......you know I heard a rumor that Tony's favorite food was chicken enchiladas btw.

[Guest April63]

Oh, I'm not going anywhere my friend. I'm quite sorry to say that no mob has the power to take me down .

I don't think Evan was trying to be sexist. He was just telling the truth that the ladies have the power to bend the minds of the men. Remember Hathor? The Egyptian goddess of beauty, she could turn any man into her servant.

So what should I call my new nation? The Empire of April, or The Aprilian Empire?

We should make a role playing thread...

April

[Guest mia 1]

Oh no not another twenty pager. As Mia holds her head in mock panic!

[Sally]

Oh kind and benevolent Empires April,

If I promise to be a good subject can I keep Tony Romo's phone number and not be assigned to cleaning the cages for the flying monkeys?

Let me know how the role playing game goes, I am assuming that no one here has much of a chance of being the empires other than you.

Love all of you sillies,

Sally

For Mia's sake we should probably leave this topic behind and start anew - maybe under games?

[Guest mia 1]

All right Mia recovers her composure, and her ancient eyes peer into the hazy mist of the 1960's and sees a youthful figure with a megaphone on the barricades, shouting, "Workers and students of the world we are united by the songs of Jimi Hendrix." The old bolsheviks try to boo the new left leader off the stage, and the chords of Purple Haze come blaring across the sound stage and the smell of pot wafts across the crowd.

Just then a young republican yells out, "How much more of your parents money are you going to waste, and how long are you going to keep that student deferrment when the administration throws your butt out of the university.

"Oh! O "!the "revloutionaries say, better get back to the classroom or it's Vietnam for me."

So ends the 60's and the baby boomers get a hair cut and head for interviews with Morgan Chase and Merrill Lynch... Fade Scene...Return to April and Evans 21st century chat.....................

[Guest April63]

Beautiful Mia, that's the post I've ever seen. Just so.. random. I love it.

Lead the way, Sally. Convince Your Kind Empress to move to games. Having an empire doesn't mean I have to be a tyrant you know

April

[Guest Jackson]

What is this? I head off for some much needed sleep and suddenly everything starts happening again. I'm getting accused of a myriad of things (probably because I've done most of them) but that is beside the point.

Well now, I didn't realize that darlin' April was the supreme goddess of the world. Far be it from me to mess with her. I think I prefer the Aprilian Empire, truth be told.

I'm sure, April, we can come to some kind of mutually beneficial agreement, can't we?

[Guest Evan_J]

Good work everybody...sometimes you have to humor them when they meet their end.....

(shakes head....) so delusional she doesn't even know the thread moved .......

http://www.lauras-playground.com/forums/in...st=0#entry41951

[Guest April63]

It moved? Where? Oh nevermind. I think it's Evan who is delusional.

Of course, Jackson. Some kind of agreement can be formed. Supreme goddess of the world? Nice.

April

[Guest Jackson]

If nothing else, I know how to sweet talk a woman. My mama taught me right.

[Guest YaManShane]

What was the anesthesia like do you remember anything. How was was you asleep?
