Brown Domination of the World!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by BadgersHat

Well, Gunhand, I don't think you're going to have enough TIME to be both Chief Rust...er, um, Re-allocator AND take care of the Lifesize Plastic Dinosaur Zoo, so I'll offer my services there.

Hailing from the midwest as I do, I think my qualifications for Warden of Plastic Dinos should be neigh'on impeachable. Though we tend to do them in concrete around here. But I'm flexible, and willing to take on the full responsiblities of tending to the wiley and irrascible critters.

And I'm very handy with a paint brush

.

Ohhh - that could come in handy with the um....re-allocation program, too! But I don't think I'll have enough time to do that - you know, taking care of the plastic dinos and watching good TV can just gobble time up! But maybe.....Channain might do well as Mistress of Disguise, or whatever title she may feel appropriate to the all-important re-habilitation of paint program.

Can I be the Minister of the Interior? Responsible for the day to day running of This Land? A TV (showing FF) in every home, a Brown Coat on every back -- things like that.

Please rise for the singing of our National Anthem:
Take my love
Take my land
...join in any time
Take me where I cannot stand....

Sniff! It's beautiful - This Land.

I look forward to ThisLand. I suggest we have a secondary export of Blackmarket Beagles (they have smallish droppings). With BMBeagles and wobbly-headed Geisha dolls there is no way we can't survive!

I also recommend we all cover our homes in solar sheeting ala the Heart of Gold. It's economical and may make our community visible from space. Lord knows it'll improve our television reception.

If we ever need to punish someone we will tie them to a chair and either make them listen to Celine Dion sing that gorram Titanic song on repeat, or alternately watch all episode of 'The Littlest Groom' back to back. Eventually they will crack. Alternately hitting them repeatedly with sticks may be good. There will be no burning at the stake.

BTW: We must not forget our dear dear Tim Minear (that rhymed, hehe), and his beloved Wonderfalls. I say we erect the 'Surrender to Destiny' fountain in town square (right next to the statues of jayne and joss).

All hamsters will be named Simon. This is not optional.

I was gonna take the Plastic Dinosaur Zoo Keeper position, but it seems another midwesterner has taken up that cause (I'm always available for a stegosaurus repaint). Hmm.. not sure what I could do... I'm not against whoring for a living though.

I'll be too busy dodging Browncoat1 and paperwork when he realises the Cavalry has gone missing for a few days at a time and all of a sudden there's a beach swap meet being run out of the back of a comandeered UPS tru...ooops I almost said too much.

And as far as the Celine Dion Titanic theme song punishment...I'm taking it we're going to allow cruel and unusual punishment then? I better get to work on figuring out some more cruel and/or unusual ones then. But that song as a punishment...that's downright mean, vile and bloodcurdling. I like how your brain works.

I know that's asking a lot, but I feel very confident that you can handle this, seeing as you're not averse to whoring

! And I must say, I'm very impressed by someone who is strong enough to say that!

I am very happy that Gunhand did not have any tough feelings over my usurpation of the post of PDZ Warden! We each have to look to our strengths, and I'm thinkin' Chief Re-allocator is definately Gunhand's strength! BTW - is that the correct job title?

We shall have to work together, then, because I'm already working on setting up the This Land Library. Of course, I'm all for owning books and such, too (as witnessed by the fact that my one bedroom apartment has six bookcases, and I've run out of room, AGAIN), so we'll be needing a media store, too.

As for the library, will we need a copy of the DVD's for each citizen (so that everyone can borrow at the same time, if necessary), so should we assume all true This Landers will have their own?

Hmmm Public Relations for the Zoo? I think I can manage that (pun completely intended). TLPDZ (ThisLand Plastic Dinosaur Zoo), will have all signs written in not only English and mandarin, but also in Badger-speak, so as to not exclude the Mighty Hat from enjoying the serene dioramas and exciting exhibits at the TLPDZ. Also I think we may need a cow fetus in a jar. I mean I know that's more of a museum thing, but maybe we can be the This Land Plastic Dinosaur Zoo and Public Museum of Stuff. Yeah it's a lot to write on a sign, but image the excitement of our school children. Children who are studying the proper taxonomy of plastic dinosaurs can also enjoy 'earth that is' artifacts (cos, well it's not a was yet now is it?), as well as props from the show and the creative endevors of our local community. I mean eventually we will have to branch into an art museum, a museum of stuff and a zoo, but it might be a tad more economical to start us off in one location, that is until the Blackmarket Beagles take off.

BTW Miloradell: I love your sig, it reminds me of a Rebecca West quote: "I have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat."

Now I can't believe no one has thought of the Celine treatment before. Forget two by two hands of blue, it'll be one by one with lungs of dung, or something of equal terror when dealing with the Celine treatment (BTW when saying Celine Dion I recommend using the Eric Cartman method of saying her name. If you are unfamiliar I suggest finding a copy of it on DVD it's hi-larious). I doubt it will ever be necessary to do this to our local citizenry, but most likely will be punishment for Fox execs, Niska-esque evil villany types, and Mariah Carey should she ever attempt to bring her 'Glitter' our way.

In response to Blackeyedgirl, Adrianna, Public Relations Go-to for the This Land Plastic Dinosaur Zoo and Public Museum of Stuff, I heartily embrace the addition of the Public Museum of Stuff to our Zoo.

With the approval of The Hat, and all other interested parties, I hereby offically change the This Land Plastic Dinosaur Zoo name to This Land Plastic Dinosaur Zoo and Public Museum of Stuff, also known as TLPDZ&PMoS. Or maybe we can just shorten that to a sneeze?

I envision a day when all children, young and old, will walk through the doors of TLPDZ&PMoS, enthralled and enthused by the prospect of massive amounts of culture and plastic dinos. It will be a heartening experience, to know that the citizens of this land embrace learning, in all of its aspects.

This Land shall shine as a paragon of smartness to the masses of our neighbors, a place of learning and hi-sophistication, where even the lowliest of low cow fetus' will have a place. A place secure in the knowledge that all citizens will see, and take to heart, the true value of all things.

Now I was thinking, in the museum the recreations of events (in the dioramas) could be done with plastic dinosaurs. For instance the American Civil War could be done with dinos painted blue and grey. The chinese Boxer Rebellion could have dinos of different species or of different colors. And of course the Serenity Valley recreation will have the Browncoats v. Purple Bellies. But I think the interaction of the dinosaurs will really draw the children in. Hell, I'd pay to see plastic dinosaur theater and I'm a well educated 25 year old!
I was also thinking we could make a miniature Sunnydale, with vampire slayings at 11, 2 and 4 daily. It could be a great draw.

I don't think the use of smaller scale plastic dinos would overly increase Warden MiloraDell's work load. And I will take it upon myself to begin hoarding dinos, setting them aside and making them whole again so we can prepare them for their new lives. If Warden MiloraDell thinks this would stretch her Wardening resources too far we can always opt for those little plastic army men who look like Nazi's.

Just image the ad campaign:
Come to This Land Plastic Dinosaur Zoo and Public Museum of Stuff where you can see daily vampire slayings, Tyranasaurus Rex v. Velaceraptors in a recreation of the struggle at Serenity Valley, and yes, kids, we have a cow fetus in a jar!!

I like it!! I truly do! I'm not concerned about the little dinos - they're easy to come by, and I don't think Gunhand would find it overly difficult to knock over - errm, I mean, liberate a truckload or two.

I just had a thought! Ouch! No, really - what if we could 'convince' a programmer or two to do historical recreations of all pertinent aspects of This Land history - the liberation of River Tam, for instance, in X-Box format?!? Just think of the hands-on experience the kiddies would enjoy!! What better way to truly appreciate history? And we could sell them in the gift shop, providing much needed credits for TLPDM&PMoS.

I'm also thinking it might be a good PR stint to have a "name the dino" contest. Not to mention it would help to make the citizens of This Land truly feel like a part of TLPDM&PMoS. And where would TLPDM&PMoS be without the people? Nowhere, I tell you! No where at all!

So I have to say (in the tone of those silly Guinness Stout commercials): Brilliant!

The name the dinosaur contest will do much to draw people to the TLPDZ&PMoS. Also the X-Box formatting of the 'games' (but they're educational! Go Team!) will do well to produce credits and increase visibility.

Perhaps we should just make a Plastic Dino factory, and then we can use them as an export, and tack on the costs of our dinos (for the z&m) and pass them on to the non-ThisLand consumer.

I was thinking about suitable ThisLand Earth that is artifacts. We want things that should the 'end' come and should we have to pack up our bits of precious and head off to our own terraformed ThisLand, that would be representative of our time on Earth that is. Any ideas? Perhaps an exhibit on the evils of cellular phones, or the concept of the dual head VCR/DVD combo. Of course we will need an 8-track player, and a copy of the Partridge Family's greatest hits, just to show the kiddies how far we have come both technology wise and culturally speaking. Hmm... I have to think on this a spell.

And oh yes! Our store at the TLPDZ&PMoS will have reproductions of Jayne's cunning hat, Kaylee's umbrella, Dr. Simon Tam's creepy red sunglasses, and other items of note (the most expensive being Niska's neat-o lamp). I think that Jaynes hat will be a big seller, so we should find some knitters pronto.

We do it all for the people at the TLPDZ&PMoS, and once a year we will have citizen's day where entry into the zoo & museum are free. There may also be carnival rides, involved, but I'm not sure. Every day citizens will have discounted entry fees, as what else are out of towners good for other than taking their money?

Do you think The Hat will be able to make it to the grand opening? I should so love to have him cut the tape to open the park. He is the voice of the people, and I should think it would thrill them for him to come down and see the park with them. We could get him a pope-mobile (The Hat-Mobile) but I doubt assasination is a risk.

If ya can expedite those sunglasses I'll throw in for the cultural preservation hooya a slightly dinged up combo 8-Track, cassette and belt driven record player stereo I have lying around here. But the cabinet Quadrophonic you'll get when you can pry it from my cold dead hands. I'm serious now.

EDIT: Okay after I hit enter a line popped into my head and I'm laughing so hard I just have to add it.

First I steal the dinosuars.
Then I get paid.

(Is it just me, or are the dino's kinda taking over the thread?)

I am in receipt of your requisition forms, and I believe I may have a source for the sunglasses - I work with a lady who has red lensed sunglasses - I'll see about 'borrowing' those for ya, Gunhand! So far she hasn't caught on I'm the one who takes her pens - I stash them in my desk, waiting for when she figures it out and I can laugh real evil-like and give them back! It's the little things that make me happy!

Evils of cell phones - check.
VCR/DVD combo - check.
8-track - check.
Partridge Family - check.
Pink feather boa - check.
Hockey mask - check.
Library of Congress (this should keep you busy, Gunhand!) - check.

What were those 'computers' I used in high school? Commodores, komodores, something like that? We have to find one of those - maybe more, 'cause I suspect Serenity may use some of those parts.

Does anyone know what date Simon's b-day is? Maybe that could be citizen appreciation day at TLPDZ&PMoS. Seems to me like a good day to remember everybody!

I don't think a pope-mobile is truly necessary, but a mule would be good! Of course, this will all be up to the Jefé's people. I'm sure they can organize suitable transportation. One way or the other

The whole Library of Congress?

Now that sounds like fun! Lemme start thinking on that one, that one I may do for free just because it'd be so hi-larious.

Then again if y'all threw me a shindig upon my triumphant return, well I wouldn't turn it down.

Oh and you can check those computers, they'd be a Commodore 64 and then it's superpowerful replacement the Commodore 128. I have 2 64s and a 128 somewhere in storage, I never throw anything away and since I move around from time to time there's little vaults of my precious all over the place. I mean I got places all over the gorram place.

So check that one off the list. It's taken care of.
