Greetings, members of PIPtalk. I have a large favour to ask of you. Skyfire and I are creating a country. It is going to contain British Colombia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, and Yukon Territory. We have decided that once we are in possession of said country, called Nothing (see my signature), we will create a town called PIPtown. We are wondering where this town should be, and looking to you all for input. We could simply take over an existing town, or create a new town. Your input is very valuable in this decision, so please voice an opinion, even if your opinion is that it doesn't matter. Thank you very much,

Sincerely,
Kielo,
Empress of Orange,
oranges,
all things orange,
and the universe in general,
and the future ruler of Nothing.



I'm making my own country, and calling it Nothing. "We're our own country, and Nothing will save us now!"

For good measure and effective planning, I suggest you build a tower leading up from the center of Lake Winnipeg and overlooking all of Nothing...

PIPTown would be at the very top of this tower, the city of the nobles of Nothing.

And because I was so brilliant to think of it, I would be its mayor...

Ok, but I'm still the lemon, right?

"There is a major war going on in the US. Send nothing to help us!"
"We need Nothing!"

Can I have my own town? I want to call it "A bathroom."
"Where do you live?"
"In A bathroom"
"In A bathroom where?"
"In A bathroom in Nothing."

I will stop this now.

Wait, can we include the moon in nothing? Then PIPtown will be on the moon

Yes, we are bringing Saskatchewan. Think about it. BC has fishing, forestry, tourism, and film as major industries. Alberta has oil and agriculture. Saskatchewan and Manitoba both have agriculture. If they have anything else, I am unaware, having never had the pleasure of studying either in depth. North-west Territories and Yukon Territory have minerals, oil, and other related things. We don't want Quebec or Ontario, because the only things there are manufacturing plants and the Canadian Shield. We don't want Nunavut because it has permafrost, and the goodies in the ground are useless. The Maritime provinces are too far away to be convenient, and are not particularly valuable in any way since the unfortunate collapse of the fishing industry on the Atlantic Coast.

Oh, and don't complain. We only included Manitoba because we had sympathy for it, and because Flin Flawn is in it.

Thank you for the invitation!

I just got to thinking however...
can nothing truly exist? If it is nothing, then it is a void, but if nothing is a void,
then there is no void, for a void is nothing,and now both are something...contradicting the ability of both to exist... now I am all confused..

Riley: let me tell you a story


There once was a little girl, born to the owners of a lemmon farm. They named her Liz, but she called herself Wind. She worked on the plantation as a child, and the lemons were the best in the whole country. The fammilly grew rich, but there was a lot of trouble and fighting between the children. Finally, a war broke out in the country, and the father was sent to fight. He died, and as the mother grew older, she decided to divide the plantation evenly between the children. They fought over who was to inherit the plantation, and the mother grew tired of it. The youngest child, Wind, was the only one who wanted peace. She was her mother's favorite. But the plantation must be divided evenly. she told them "I give each one of you three lemon seeds. Go forth and plant a lemon. Each one of you will soon have your own plantation, so that you may leave me in peace." The siblings ventured out to begin their farms. The oldest, Isabella, went to the desert. She stuck her lemon seeds in the soil, and waited for it to sprout. They dried up and died, and Isabella starved to death. The second child was smarter. But not much. Douglass threw the seeds in the river, and they were carried away to what is now the delta of the lemons. No one knows what happened to him. Before Wind left, her mother told her "Remember this, if you have good intentions, you have a greater chance for success." Then she died of exhaustion. Wind put the seeds in the soil on the plantation. One took root, and the whole plantation became hers. She remembered what her mother told her. By herself, wind gained control of an entire empire, which she called Lemon.

The point of this story is that it takes years to become a good ruler. Even if you are only thirteen, you can still become something great.

Vegie land may some day be as cool as Lemon. If I say let the Lemons shine, you may say let the veges grow. Ok, that was idiotic.

Back to Nothing. All the buildings in PIPland must have a poem written on their door. Since I will naturally live in A Bathroom, I would not need to fuffil this requirement.

that was touching here is how I saw it:

Riley wanted a position as a town ruler. So she begged for a town, which the lemon queen gave her so graceously. She gave her the title "vege girl," which Riley thought was not good enough, fso she changed it to her likeing.

ok now I feel sad...let me inform you and on true story  


Heres how it goes.....

Riley was a young girl who, every night, would sit under the stars and gaze over her parents crops and fields, listening to the cows and writing in her journal. One day Riley traded her noisey cow in for some beans and planted them. They grew up to the sky. This is where Riley climbed and climbed up to the sky ** now is the time for concessions ** There she found a great castle, in which there lived a bunny. A giant bunny. And he ate carrots. Giant carrots. Once Riley ran across the clouds, which she had much fun doing, she went into the castle, the giant castle, and rerived the town teapot, which had been stolen by the giant bunny for tea, giant tea. As soon as she out hopped the giant bunny in hopscotch, giant hopscotch, she got down the flower stalk, which had grown from the beans, she was deemed, planter of green, for she planted the flowers and you know the rest.

There my dear friend is the true story of the planter of green.

Somewhere... out there...

After much discussion with Rhonda, I have decided to present
my request for a town in this new place called Nothing.

I propose a town called CheeseVille.  I, of course, would be
the Wizard of CheeseVille and, as such, would be
affectionately known as the Cheese Wiz.
The residents of CheeseVille will include the not-so-recently
laid off Oompa Loompas, who will not only manufacture
and cut the cheese, but will also sing little
educational songs all about cheese and it's origin.

These Oompa Loompas will also assist in developing
a vast array of  flavors of cheese as well as other cheese-based foods.
For example, there would be cheese soup and cheese soda,
as well as cheese pudding, cheese jello, cheese pie,
cheese bread, and much, much more.
Cheese cake would, of course, be the official dessert
of the land, and would always be served after a hardy
meal of macaroni and cheese.

We would, of course, have an endless supply of Cheesy Poofs.
These  would be freely presented to tourists of CheeseVille
upon their arrival, along with the map of CheeseVille that would be made out of thinly sliced cheese
This will allow visitors to share the map as a snack
on their ride home, and as a result will help keep
littering to a minimum in our community.

In order to be granted entrance into CheeseVille
visitors MUST wear the official cheese hat which is,
of course, made out of cheese and may be eaten
or given to those less fortunate upon their departure.

All  paper products will be manufactured from recycled
cheese products.  This will cut down immensely on pollution
and littering, and will ensure that CheeseVille is an enjoyable
community in which to live.

Our cars will be manufactured from cheese and will
come in three colors...white (white cheddar),
gold (cheddar), and blue (blue cheese), and will be
fueled by a highly liquified cheese sauce, since it is
common knowledge that cheese, when properly processed,
does indeed produce a high grade of gas.

We will have our cows shipped in from only the finest locations,
so that we have only the highest quality cheeses
For the first year, they will graze on high quality grasses,
and will be provided the best feed available.
However, once we have come full cycle in our plan they will
all be cheese fed cows.
This will ensure a much richer and cheesier tasting cheese

All of our linens will be manufactured from the finest cheese cloth.
Our homes will be small, yet comfortable, cottages and
will be constructed from the finest compressed cottage cheese
We will, of course, have to be careful not to
'eat ourselves out of house and home'
All of this, and more, can be something that Nothing can
be proud of, if you will simply say that one little word....'cheese'.
I respectfully await your decision and will gladly answer any
further questions you may have about the proposed town of CheeseVille.

Cheesily yours,
~Vicky
Aspiring Wizard of CheeseVille
A.K.A. The Cheese Wiz

Divided into five communities
First, PIPtown,
home of poets, of poetry,
reaching for the sky, overlooking the land,
Then there is Lemon, capital is A Bathroom,
Vast land of the yellow trees,
Then there is Vegge Land,
Vast lands of crops,
And cheese Puff,
our newest land,
Made of the finest cheese
All lead by teenagers with nothing else to do,
nothing will stand in Nothing's way

*ahem* Duncan, we're not getting rid of Canada. We're just turning the more important parts of it into a new country.  Hope that clarifies things for you

Ah yes... the Volkswagen Eurobus.

I've seen better Volkswagens

And yet, I'd rather drive that than ANY American car! *gag*

On a smiliar note, who is running the automotive business in Nothing?

(Does Canada even have car manufacturers? Seriously though... there's American, German, Japanese, Italian... Canadian?)

there isn't anything wrong with canada.

::stands up and delivers her denzel washingtonish-tear-jerking monologue::  

we are the land of students who pay for their own university and buy their own first car.

where colour and neighbour are spelled with a u, and fries are eaten with vinegar.

::symphony starts in::

we sit on chesterfields and wear toques, we complain to our prime-minister and bitch about paul martin.

we live in provinces and don't bother with pointless counties that give everything [courthouses, hospitals, etc] hickish sounding names.

our paper bills are different colours so they may be easily distinguished.  we're corteous and intelligent and thus do devote precious time out of our curriculums for learning about other people.  [we aren't self-absorbed].

::audience begins to cry::

we buy our deli meat by the gram, our gas by the litre and travel one hundred and seventy-two kilometers to the cottage [and can easily convert that into miles to aid our 'oh-so-powerful' neighbours when they look a little confused].

we put alcohol in our beer, know how to have a good wedding social [for the manitoban's out there] and no, queen elizabeth is not our queen.

::audience delivers standing ovation::         

as i've said, there isn't anything wrong with canada, rhonda.

(chuckling) Jen... you may now step off the soap box.. no offense was meant towards Canada. I do however find it amusing, you are discussing forming a new country out of Canada, and then step up to defend it...

Actually..Canada has several production plants owned and operated by GM< Ford, and others. I do not know of a purely Canadian car maker although I am sure there are custom builders in many parts of Canada.

There are several Automotive parts manufacturing companies there as well as a number of retailers and wholesale operations that supply parts to independent dealers, repair shops, etc. Canada has a thriving automotive industry... but doesn't have a unique brand name car that I know of.

been said this way......
I think the city should be built somewhere where there are
beaches all around....now aren't ya'll even a little bit surprised?!?
Anyway, it could possibly be on an island, like kinda in the Gulf Of Mexico.

I have absolutely no inkling what you people are talking about.

Why not put this town in the middle of no where....what ever it is, however you get there and  why ever you would want to.
