Fortress Markdom!?

(This post was intended for Saturday, I was unable to load photos until today)
Well it has been quite an eventful 24 hours, I receive news that I have been awarded a scholarship for a PhD, and 12 hours later I get called an a$$hole... The fun never stops eh?

This got me thinking, my neighbour's are essentially the most annoying people on the planet, more annoying than Andy Dick, Ian Thorpe and Jessica Rowe all put together. If my neighbour's collectively represent the Australian population, one has to wonder why I should continue to be a part of said nation.

Needless to say, I have spoken to some relatively powerful friends, and have arranged for this house to secede from the Commonwealth of Australia (sorry mum and dad) and become a UN Protectorate. Unless a better name is suggested, this UN protectorate will now be called 'Markdom', not very creative I know, but I am sober, and it has been a long day, let me know your suggestions.

I am in the process of drafting my constitution, and finding customs agents willing to enforce my borders. At the moment, I am protected by British Peacekeepers (well not really), so I should be safe, if not, I have Brinkley to take them all out...

For those of you who don't know me, this isn't really a joke, we just had the flag raising ceremony thirty minutes ago, with a small crowd gathered to cheer on the birth of a nation... Oh the crowd refused to be photographed...



I don't know how long my little protectorship will last, but it is sure to be viable for at least the rest of the silly season. In the meantime folks, have a very happy Christmas and New Year, if you are Jewish, happy Hanukkah, for the Atheists, enjoy the Holiday, and for the rest of you... Well see you next year...

Oh and whilst this sounds like the last post for the year, it really isn't, next week, by popular demand, will be a year in review, including a number of confrontations never published and a quest to find a date for New Years Eve so I can keep last years resolution!
