DINGFODISTAN - Hail!

[Veritas]

All Hail His Most Gracious and Serene Majesty, King Gaydas I of Dingfodistan. :yup:

This glorious land needs:

governmental system (meritocracy? democracy?)
national anthem
laws
education system
health service
possibly, elected governors/MPs
possibly, a royal family


How should this be organised?

[Leesifer]

I present, The Princess Leesifer. :princess:

Your most humble servant, oh Most Gracious and Serene Majesty, King Gaydas. :biker2:

[Veritas]

When Gayfod appears in this thread, somebody ask him if I can be PM?

[Leesifer]

OMG, Legs...

:dielaugh:

[livius drusus]

Law the First: Dingfodistan threads like to hang out in the Hole. I won't speculate as to why that might be.

[Veritas]

Hail, citizen! I suspect this thread was put in new/law/politics as it is popularly believed to be a real, fledgling nation, which needeth said laws. However, be it known, I liketh thy saying, "It likes to hang out in the hole." Tis verrily giggle-making. :giggle:

[JoeP]

This glorious land needs:
and a flag! With a smilie of the flag! :dingfodi:
Hmm ...http://www.hopkinsprostate.com/pix/plProstateCa_dre.gifA digit rampant thrust dexter in a rectum, member couchant, sable on a field argent?

possibly, a royal familyThe entire population shall be queens!

[livius drusus]

A digit rampant thrust dexter in a rectum, member couchant, sable on a field argent?Now that's a coat of arms. And legs. Eh, it's all a jumble. Who can tell anymore?

[Veritas]

National anthem - something by Kylie? Village People?

[godfry n. glad]

:10ftpole:

[MonCapitan2002]

We need a smilie for that code, godfry n. glad.

[Leesifer]

National anthem - something by Kylie? Village People?

Dancing Queen - Abba?

[Dingfod]

Dingfodistan is a benevolent monarchy. There is no Royal Family but the King is willing to take bids on people wishing to become Royal Family members. The National Anthem happens to be to the tune of an Irish drinking song, titled I Happen To Be A Dingfod, What Are You Going To Make Of That? The only laws are at the whim of the King. The education system is virtually nonexistent as we have no children. The health service is based entirely on everyone remaining healthy, all sick people are deported to neighboring Russia which has a fairly modern health care system. There are no elected governors or MPs because they are not needed, it is a very small island nation in the Caspian Sea.

[Crumb]

I'll give you :twocents: to be a member of the royal family.

[Dingfod]

Welcome to the Dingfod family, Son. I would tell you to kiss my hand but I don't want to risk making you gay.

All hail Prince Crumb of Slackoffia, Kingdom of Dingfodistan!

[JoeP]

As Royal Historian (by appt to HSM Gaydas I) my first act (apart from the official history) shall be a complete denial of the massacre of 75 million Russians during WW II. We didn't do it and you can't prove we did.

[livius drusus]

I'll give you :twocents: plus my leftover caesar salad from lunch.

[Dingfod]

You did hide the SS uniforms, didn't you?

[JoeP]

No, Your Majesty, I kept them in the dressing up room like you told me. Remember last Halloween?

[Dingfod]

I'll give you :twocents: plus my leftover caesar salad from lunch.You may keep the caesar salad, livius drusus. You are now Dingfodistan's advisor on Italy and Vatican City and chief food taster.

[Dingfod]

No, Your Majesty, I kept them in the dressing up room like you told me. Remember last Halloween?I remember now, we rented them to The Producers producers.

Oh, and I would like to announce that the national treasury is now up to four cents.

[livius drusus]

Sweet! Wait. Is Dingfodistani food like Russian food? Because if so color me emigré, baby.

[Dingfod]

Nah, we're open to all sorts of cultural influences in our foods. One of our favorite restaurants is Korean. I think. I'm not sure, the sign isn't in Dingfodi or English but some sort of Asian characters. The duck is really good. At least I think it's duck.

[wei yau]

So where do I fit in the Royal Family? Can I be the often-overlooked brother who wants the throne and has to figure out a way to remove Prince Crumb from the line of succession?

[livius drusus]

You could be Hing-dai Egalité.

/me has been on a bit of a French Revolution kick lately.

[Dingfod]

wei yau, hing-dai, my brother! Welcome home, have a seat, I'll send someone out to kill the fatted goat and we'll toast your arrival with the traditional beverage, Didipea (low carb fermented prune juice).

[Dingfod]

Everyone! Get your nun costumes and fishnet stockings on if you brought them, the daily carnivale starts in just a couple of hours.

[wei yau]

Oooh, court intrigue. I like it.

Is "fatted goat" the codename we're using for Prince Crumb nowadays? Don't you think he can read this thread and figure it out?

And I could use some of that Didipea, had way too much meat during our visit with the barbarians in the hinterlands.

[Dingfod]

Let's raise our glasses and shout out the traditional cheer. "Saloon!"

[Crumb]

:goat:

[Dingfod]

Well, I guess we don't have to kill the goat today. We can just make Miracle Whip sammiches with tapioca pudding for dessert.

[Dingfod]

Enjoy! King Gaydas must take his leave.

[livius drusus]

Miracle Whip sammiches Revolution time.

[Plant Woman]

:twocents: :twocents: :twocents:

I'll give you 6 cents if I can be the troubled, wayfaring daughter, off in another kingdom, sowing grains of truth. (That way I can steer clear of dysfunctional royals.)

[Veritas]

What can I buy for 50p and a pound of grapes? The PrimeMinistership? Or the Presidency? I'd like to be a sort of floating, non-royal official, appointed at the whim of the King.

Bring on the dancing Dingfodulan Girls!:cheer::cheer::cheer:

[Leesifer]

Oh well, if I have to pay to be Princess Leesifer, so be it.

Here ya go: :cash:

[Shake]

National anthem - something by Kylie? Village People?
As long as Roseanne doesn't sing it, it's OK.

[Crumb]

She would be perfect. I think crotch grabbing and spitting should be an important part of the Dingfodistanian national anthem.

[Dingfod]

Miracle Whip sammiches Revolution time.Dissent so early in my reign, sad.

[Dingfod]

:twocents: :twocents: :twocents:

I'll give you 6 cents if I can be the troubled, wayfaring daughter, off in another kingdom, sowing grains of truth. (That way I can steer clear of dysfunctional royals.)Granted.


The royal treasury is now up to 10 cents.

[Adam]

What's the proper musical notation for a crotch grab, anyway?

[Dingfod]

What can I buy for 50p and a pound of grapes? The PrimeMinistership? Or the Presidency? I'd like to be a sort of floating, non-royal official, appointed at the whim of the King.50p and a pound of grapes will get you the official title of Minister of All Things Scatalogical.

[Dingfod]

What's the proper musical notation for a crotch grab, anyway?/^\

[Leesifer]

Oh well, if I have to pay to be Princess Leesifer, so be it.

Here ya go: :cash:


:cough:

[Dingfod]

I did not forget, Princess Leesifer. Thanks for the bag of money. Unfortunately it contained only coins of the realm, the Dingaling, which has an exchange rate of less than 10,000 to the U.S. cent. That brings the royal treasury up to about 11 cents.

[Shake]

What's the proper musical notation for a crotch grab, anyway?
:mj:

[cappuccino]

What title do I get? I expect something as befitting my exaulted rank.

[Veritas]

Bastard. :glare:

And don't even think of cutting my head off for cheeking royalty; two will spring up in its place. :D

[Dingfod]

Silence, Royal Concubine! Remember, you signed the wifely duties contract.

[Miisa]

Miracle Whip sammiches Revolution time.Dissent so early in my reign, sad.
And here I was going to offer up my political dissident services... :sadcheer:

You do need political dissidents, you know, at least for show. You don't want to be viewed as undemocratic or oppressive. You might get pre-emptively invaded.

Which, of course, might be what you were hoping for, considering the coat of... erm, arms.

If the dissident position is taken, can you, in your infinite wisdom, suggest a suitable title? :bow:

[Dingfod]

Infinite wisdom? *tee-hee*

How about Royal Court Advisory Board? Or just Loyal Opposition? It is fully understandable there will be disagreements on things like Miracle Whip sammiches. Someone else might propose the national vegetable be the Brussel sprout, for Ding's sake.

[Miisa]

I am a member of the militant wing of the BSAS (Brussel Sprout Advancement Society), does that count?

[Dingfod]

Ewwww! Your choice, I guess.

[Miisa]

Right, now that we have a national vegetable, we could do with a national amphibian.

[Dingfod]

That would be the Dream Dragon, an elusive nocturnal beast that appears only in dreams of children and the simple-minded. We only know the actually exist because we found this (http://www.battleduck.com/media/images/sculptimages/robustdragon.jpg).

[Miisa]

But is it an ambhibian or a reptile? :think:

[Dingfod]

It's an amphibious flying reptile. It lives by the sea, in the Honnalee region of the southern part of Dingfodistan. Some say the song "Puff the Magic Dragon" is about our beloved Dream Dragon.

[livius drusus]

So hey, appropos of nothing, is weed legal in Dingfodistan?

[Dingfod]

Smoke it, grow it, whatever. You can't drive under the influence in Dingfodistan, there are no cars... or roads, for that matter.

[livius drusus]

'Tis an edenic paradise. :bow:

[Dingfod]

There's no place to go even if you had a car.

[JoeP]

pre-emptively invaded:giggles:

[Plant Woman]

Wayfaring daughter checking in and sending :twocents: :twocents: bounty money for slaying a dragon (Puff's evil twin) in the land of Kingdom X. I am keeping half for myself, my tab at the local pub is overdue.
