I hereby declare my bedroom a republic. Equal rights for socks and the removal of pants for they have blighted and inslaved the world for long enough!

i name my repubilc, the peoples republic of funkyness and its capital city of quilt

where i fletch rule un questioned (till i move out) over a population of books, a evil duck, sand pets, brian and tonto the fish, the three tenors (more fish), random socks, no pants and one girlfriend

The table changes colour frequently as people can' make their mind up which colour it should be. Currently it's dark red and will remain so unitil someone has a better idea.

Welcome to the UBC, equal rights for socks!

Incidently we're on the front page. I wonder how that happened?

Well, it certainly got you some new joiners...

Three cheers to striped socks, which make the world a better place!

I fully agree with you, just about all my socks a stripey, makes it far easier to find a pair.

Unless you've got a stripy carpet...for somereason

They could be different colours

The guy I sit next to in chem has stripey socks. He goes on about how his girlfriend bought them for him

Re: nontables

Yeah, it's not as if they're not tables. It's just they have no designated purpose. So I like non- hyphenated- tables, plus it gets irony points for having hyphens in a phrase about there being no hyphens. I bet that made a lot of sense.

Possibly a vote, and then one for the alternative vocabulary list.

Oh, also:

Confederacy [n]

I tend to go for rainbow socks as that way there's bound to be at least one colour that goes with what I'm wearing. (Though, admittedly, there end up being several colours that don't)

I guess we're the third definition.

I hereby declare my bedroom a republic. Equal rights for socks!

Not my words, but my sentiments exactly. Although I would like to make only my bed a republic. The Republic of Just-Five-Minutes-More. The capitol is Pillow. I'm the president, Dunja is the vice-president.

current population size: 1 human (most of the time) and several cuddly toys (so what!?) namely Dunja, a horse, a Snoopy, a big and a small "Little Mole", a lion (or is it a puma), a dachshound, a sheep and a really big snake.

We all would really love to be a people's republic.

I hereby declare my bedroom a republic. Equal rights for socks! Especially socks with holes in! In fact, I believe more rights should be given to holes where socks once were... the anti-sock, where aforesaid sock (hereby referred to merely as "sock") has been so completely consumed by holes that it no longer exsists, but should still have status as a sock! This is the only sock that can fashionably worn with a sandal (NOTE: if you are over the age of 85, male, British and live in a sea-side resort, please disregard the previous statement: really, socks worn with sandals, and shorts with possible, are the heighest state of fashion!)
ANYWAY. That was just my way of pledging allegiance to The Sock Of Freedom, Brotherhood, Liberty, Independence, Odour-eaters, and Chocolate Cake.
My republic is The People's Republic Of Unoriginal Names (also known as "Fred"). The leader is, of course, Manicass The Almighty And Feared And Desirous Of Chocolate.
The population is whoever happens to be inhabiting my mind at any given moment, but generally includes: approx. 3.76 trees (in the form of paper with half-started stories on them), 72 books, of which 71 are probably heavy-duty scientific ones, and 1 will probably be written by Bill Bryson/ Douglas Adams/ Dave Barry- this will also be the only one I've ever read. There's also generally a dog of some description, and me. And sometimes people come in, but we have forms for dealing with that.

Wow, we're getting so many applicants that my personal problems are being drowned out. I'm impressed!

Are you going to change the non-hyphenated-table now?

Oh it's a that sort of table we're talking about? Oh I see.

Well it goes for real, made- out- of- wood tables as well.

I hereby declare my bedroom a republic. Equal rights for socks! Especially slightly threadbare ones!

I, XPhileEmma declare my room the Peoples Republic of Perculiar Habits and Abnormal Students. The capital of this republic is Fandom Desk.
I am the president, but when I'm out Vice President Mr Potato Head is in charge.
The current population is: 1 student, Mr Potato Head, 4 glass fish, 2 FBI agents

But do you know *why* you're getting so many new applicants?

yes, they did seem to mention that.

btw the picture on the front page is B1169732 , you may wanna use that.

I hereby declare my bedroom a republic.The Rubber Band Ball Republic of Elasticity.

It's population consists of me,a growing colony of rubber bands which,together,form the supreme ruler of the room,Prote,the rubber band ball and a healthy population of spare socks to do the balls bidding.
The capital of the room is the rubber band shelf,it contains a the ball and it's lesser subjects which were too small to qualify for the ball.
The republic is a balltatorship because all of the balls subjects are required to further the cause of the ball or risk deportation.


The Ball is all.
