Brown Domination of the World-- revisited by BadgersHat

Jefe:

I hereby nominate myself CEB (Chief Executive Browncoat) of ThisLand National Bank. Seriously. You can come visit the beer and chocolate, but I have to run the place. I have yearrrrs of banking experience. Trust me...

Oh and when we do a job, and we get paid for that job, I will credit everyone's account with their share! (and not in the old Bugs Bunny way either--"two for you and one, two for me...") I propose we also have a credit card, a brown one. Good everywhere, not like those other plastic things out there. And all Browncoats will start out with perfect credit! A clean slate for all!

Plus, my bank will have swim-up service since we'll be in the Carribbean. And we'll serve drinks instead of handing out toasters.

What do you think?

Mal-

I think you're absolutely brilliant, and I hereby officially appoint you CEB, for a term of two years, option to renew.

And, I like the brown credit card... can I get one with a picture of my Hat on it?

I was thinking of "ThisLand" with a burning/bright Firefly-logo kind of theme picture. But we can do the hat one too. We aims to please!

That sounds cool, but I was thinking more like a little Hat, and only on MY personal card... unless we license it out... hmmm...

Duh! Do reavers have core-containment? We don't need no stinkin' magnetic strip readers!

See, in ThisLand, we will have much mucho more sophisticated equipment. Your hat-shaped card will also be your eye-dent card. Just wave it in front of the laser-reader and poof! You're blind! No, seriously, just THINKING of authorizing your purchase will do it.

Jefé, with all due respect to your dreams of hat shaped business cards and the like, we're gonna need us a flag too ya know.

Not that it isn't important to have business cards but how am I supposed to lead a rai...ummm perfectly legitimate shopping spree, without some sorta colors to awe the locals into submiss...I mean discounts?

Business cards! (she scoffs) We are talking about credit cards here. Where all the money and your personal and health info are stored.

Gunhand, as CEB, I hereby appoint you "Guy in charge of Flag related stuff."

Gotta go to work now and earn credits to put in my card...

Okay Gunny, here's your assignment--

Using your own personal brain matter, a sketch pad, and a 64 box, you are hereby charged with the responsibility of creating the most kickass gorram flag this world has ever seen.

It should convey dignity, strength, purity, and independence.

Or, if you can't fit that bill, it should drive stark raving fear into those who behold it.

And keep in mind, it need not have a traditional rectangle shape, either.

When you hoist it high, those who see it should think, "Wow, that's some amazing flag, I should subm... ummm... sell... my belongings at a highly discounted price to them..."

That's your job for the weekend. Have it done by Sunday night, so we can start rai... um... shopping... Monday morning.

Frankly, I started the Brown Domination thread as a way of letting off steam about the sorry state of affairs in the world (namely, my neighborhood!!), and wanted to do one of those "When I rule the world..." statements... plus, I needed a reason to nominate Astriana to be my Mistress...

But, Jefe, sir, that's how new nations get started -- with people noticing that they could do a better job with the running of things than the current guys. Then, assuming they survive the ensuing revolution (or remove themselves a place no one else wants) voila, new country!

Every nation needs a library. Otherwise there wouldn't be jobs for us librarians. Plus all that knowledge is power and free access to information stuff. But I've been thinking, and I think we ought to call it The Independents' Library, since that ties nicely with the show and the purpose of libraries, and since we don't appear to have a Congress (yet). Approved, your hatness?

Why can't the flag be Serenity shaped?

I think that Jaynes hat will be a big seller, so we should find some knitters pronto.

I was starting to think that I wouldn't be able to make my living in ThisLand.

24h intelligent TV, AND needing to have credit on my Brown Card? The two things are incompatable!

And then I saw the need for Jaynes Hat knitters. Perfect.
That's what I do while watching TV!

I do Arran, Fairisle, plus all the ordinary stuff.

How many 100 do you want, and how much intelligent TV can you provide to keep me awake while I knock them out?

Jefé I'll get right on it, have a little shindig this evening, conversion and steaks on the grill, but tommorow I'll get right to work on the flag of This Land!

I had a few cunning ideas already actually, which is why I mentioned it.

ooo, oooo delia! deeeliaaa! *waves hand in the air, and unable to contain herself, jumps around...but just a little* can i help with the independents library? they're usually pretty big things, libraries, with lots of words and stuff. of course, i defer to you on all decisions, but you need someone to defend the boundaries set forth here. of course, all this will have to be cool with jefe too. jefe, i'm kinda new, but i love your politics and promise to follow you blindly into any sort of terrible idea. i just want to help educate the masses....i do not wish to be wed to a firefly-less nation, i could be of some use on a brown-dominated planet.

Cageybee,

Of course. If the rai-- er, whatever they're calling themselves, our bargain hunters, gatherers, and obtainers of things -- are really planning to empty the Library of Congress, I'll need all sorts of help with the Independents' Library (goin' with that name till someone objects). There's going to be tons of stuff to do!

One of the things I love about this board is all the good library/librarian vibes floating around on it. Makes all the tedious journal articles I have to read in library school worth it.

I think NOT handing out toasters at a swim up bank is a good idea. Someone may be tempted to plug it in as they leave.

Not that I've done anything stupid in my life.

WhooDahn,

Hey, I would have had to post signs stating that management would not be responsible for toaster MAL-functions. If we handed out the toasters, then there would have to be all sorts of disclaimers and "do not remove this tag" stickers and stuff. I prefer the booze idea.

I myself have never, EVER, done anything stupid. You can bank on that! (har har har, I crack myself up.)

I like the whole booze at the swim-up bank idea. I need to get me a waterproof wallet.

Does ThisLand have a sports team?

We could play "Throw the ball through the hanging hoop"

The rules are easy, there ain't any.

It would be a televised game in all of ThisLand.

It could be shirts VS no-shirts. Co-ed of course.

Never one we get see in the show, but I've worked on a few wildly fictional ones for the Independents. They're lurking around on my eerie-ass webpage which is down in my sig.
