Full Version: If America Had A King

Just a short story I wrote about what the world would be like if America had a monarchy. Enjoy. happy.gif



The newly appointed King of America opened his eyes sleepily and stared at the red velvet curtains of his bed. Remembering where he was, he threw them aside and swung his long legs out onto the floor. With a smile of utmost satisfaction, the new King - a gigantic man of Native American descent - unfolded to his full height and strode over to the window of White Castle.

It was a glorious sunny day in Maryland, and he beamed, casting his eyes over his new kingdom. The water feature in the garden below trickled, distant car engines hummed, and a sudden crack rang through the air. The King frowned, and dropped to his back lifelessly; a bullet lodged deep inside his skull. This country ain't big enough for two leaders, boy.

I look forward to them... I'm an author myself (little known fact)... In the middle of writing a futuristic scifi novel.
Hot Springs Turtle
Ooh, you should post some stuff. biggrin.gif SciFi is both the rock and the roll, often simultaneously.
There Is No Spoon
in due time... I do intend on getting the novel published... so I want to avoid on putting too much of it out there on the internet if ya know what I mean

You know, america did have a king for a while. And then they realized that an army stupid enough to wear bright red and gigantic hats that say "Hey! over here! shoot me!" would pretty much crumble once they dumped the tea supply.

Of course, the real decisive factor was the invention of the toothbrush...

Or a crazy Australian landowner from South Carolina whose slaves were in fact free and chose to work the land in redneck country, where pitched battles between the Redcoats and the Revolutionaries took place in peoples back gardens. Because the new America wil be great and fair and everyone will have a voice (well, just white people at first, then black people a little later on in the 1960's maybe?, they can't argue with that can they, good deal right there. Oh yeah, and the Natives of the continent can be as free as they like, as long as they stick to their desolate reservations and don't hunt the white mans buffalo and move to even more uninhabitable terrain when we find gold on said reservations.)

U........S.............A............U............S...............A!!!

Y'all should have seen this season's South Park episode, The Snuke. If you've seen it you understand how it fits so well with this conversation. If you haven't, try to. It's too bad South Park isn't on youtube anymore.

The Snuke
Hillary Clinton is in town for a big campaign rally. Cartman follows a lead on a possible terrorist attack.

For some reason when Snee and I get in the same room, uh, thread, things tend to go astray of topic.

I've noticed that... haha thats not a bad thing though most of the time... unless a very good serious debate or discussion gets run to hell
TexasGal
Serious debate? Here? Oh! Those must be the threads I don't post in. tongue.gif If Snee and I get too out of hand, I'm sure someone's willing to be the referee to reign us in. Hasn't happened, but it could.
There Is No Spoon
well now that I've returned... the era of the serious debates shall return too biggrin.gif
