Time to begin the Solstice Party!!!
*sets out food and rum*
*Adds plates of Deep Fried Jalapeńos and Crawfish Boulettes*
Enjoy!
We have been working feverishly to get KEGG radio up and running for the summer solstice.
Turns on power, POP, main fuse blows. Turns off power.
Dries out fuse box and replaces blown fuse.
Crosses fingers, turn power back on.
Live from Icelands Secret Solstice 2018 in Volhol.
Set one, Give it up for Slayer.

Razors edge
Outlines the dead
Incisions in my head
Anticipation the stimulation
To kill the exhilaration
Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself a
And let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die
Close your eyes
And forget your name
Step outside yourself
And let your thoughts drain
As you go insane, insane
Inert flesh
A bloody tomb
A decorated splatter brightens the room
An execution a sadist ritual
Mad intervals of mind residuals
Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself
And let your mind go
Frozen eyes
So far so good, no blown fuses time for set two.
Listen to the incomparable Clean Bandit.

Call it love and devotion
Call it the moms adoration (foundation)
A special bond of creation, hah
For all the single mums out there
Going through frustration
Clean Bandit, Sean-Da-Paul, Anne-marie, sing, make them hear
She works the night, by the water
She's gonna stress, so far away from her father's daughter
She just wants a life for her baby
All on her own, no one will come
She's got to save him (daily struggle)
She tells him "ooh love"
No one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you (stay up there, stay up there)
She tells him "your life ain't gonna be nothing like my life (straight)
You're gonna grow and have a good life
I'm gonna do what I've got to do" (stay up there, stay up there)
So, rockabye.
Still live from Volhol
Set three, Now for a little R&B from 6lack.

One, two, been thinking on it hard this morning
Three, four, it's hard to focus when a nigga zoning
I been tryna balance all this on my plate
I ain't tryna be lying to your face
You can do better than I
Something I need to share before you rest here
I know that you gave your best here
But I can't figure out what's next here
[Pre-Chorus]
I pray to god I dont have to pay for not knowing
This world is new to me, I do not know it
My pride never wanted you to know this
Sometimes I just wanna be alone and
[Chorus]
Either way I gotta go, woah, oh
When it comes to cutting ties, girl, Im like a pro, woah,woah
I tell you what you wanna know, oh, woah
Youre prolly better on your own, oh

Žaš var um haustiš sjötķu og fimm
žiš spilušuš hér og nóttin var dimm.
Viš gengum saman śt meš sjó
žegar balliš var bśiš.
Viš horfšum į mįnann drykklanga stund
og afghanfeld lögšum į döggvota grund.
Viš įttum saman įstarfund
žegar balliš var bśiš.
Žaš er ekkert upp į hann aš klaga
edrś alla daga, įvallt hefur borgaš mešlagiš.
Hann er vęnn viš menn og mįlleysingja,
létt er ę hans pyngja,
žvķ margvķslegt hann styrkir mįlefniš.
Žiš hurfuš ķ rykmekki sušur um fjörš
en eftir sat ég og eignašist Hörš.
Žś sįšir fręi ķ frjóan svörš
žegar balliš var bśiš.
žegar balliš, balliš, balliš var bśiš.
Žaš er ekkert upp į hann aš klaga
edrś alla daga, įvallt hefur borgaš mešlagiš.
Hann er vęnn viš menn og mįlleysingja,
létt er ę hans pyngja,
žvķ margvķslegt hann styrkir mįlefniš.
There you go folks and end to an evening solstice.
Hope yall enjoyed the disappearing Rhum, food and music.
Signing off for the night, Good night one and all.

3 days 22 hours ago: The peppy peaceful people of pepperton ceased to exist.
It appears the pharmaceutical types at Pepperton have synthesized a downer that is an upper (if such a thing is truly possible). Introducing the latest drink sensation Dr Pepperton Mellow Fellow Energizing Beer ... on sale now at your local Bath, Bar & Bedroom store.
*5 hours ago: The Republic of Revolutionary Libertarian America arrived from KAISERREICH. *
If you are an invader looking for a shiny place to trash, you are too late! The Solstice party is already over and, as you can see, we still have a wack-ton of cleanup to do.
If you are looking for a laid-back region willing to give you a second chance, surrender your "invader" card at the border join the team looking for the invisible key to the towers.
If you do not enjoy pre-paid visits to TRR, just try to blend in and don't expect any favors. Or rum. Or cookies. Or a job at the radio station (unless Karl needs someone for maintenance).
One more thing ... wear a bow tie so everyone will know you are new.
The bow tie is vital if you want to be invited to the next rum party.
The new tao order, Ellery Spraysberry, and Catalpa
*7 hours ago: The Holy Republic of The Universe World of the region The Great Universe proposed constructing embassies. *
*looks around to see the region rep making the personal visit ... sees no one from TGU*
*notes that TGU already has over 1700 regional embassies*
*decides to ignore TGU and continue looking for the invisible key over by the open door to the rum cellar*
Greetings! I am happy to have arrived here. I wish to present my Diplomatic Credentials. I am the Goodwill Ambassador-At-Large from the SECFanatics Region. I will be paying a courtesy visit to The Cuckoos Egg Region owing to your requirement that a personal "compelling representative" demonstrate the uniqueness of a region before diplomatic relations are established and embassies constructed. Sadly, while I may not be the most "compelling" representative, I am the one chosen for this task.
Therefore, please permit me a brief moment to tell you about a unique Region which is definitely not like the others in NationStates.
That region is SECFanatics, and some of its characteristics are:
As you may have guessed from the name, SECFanatics was originally founded for fans of Southeastern Conference Sports teams, and is now available for everyone. The Region has never had a role-playing or a raiding type of emphasis in its activities.
The Regional Message Board focuses upon witty humor, political discourse, current events, and naturally college sports!
The SECFanatics Region strives for a sense of community rather than gameplay, rivalry, or individual one-upmanship. It is still a young region and small enough so its members can grow and learn together.
The Region is governed by a Charter instead of a wordy and legalistic Constitution that you will find in other regions.
The NationStates key search terms (Tags) used to find SECFanatics amongst all the other regions are: Sports, Fandom, Casual, Offsite Forums, Libertarian, National Sovereigntist, and Small.
The above listing clearly demonstrates that the SECFanatics region meets The Cuckoos Egg's requirement of uniqueness needed for the establishment of embassies.
Furthermore, we are pleased to disclose our motivation for requesting an embassy between SECFanatics and The Cuckoos Egg.
Article III, of the SECFanatics Regional Charter, encourages "diplomatic relations with all principalities, tribes, peoples, or nations, in the belief that communication between people leads to a better understanding with reduced need for conflicts."
We seek to establish relations with Regions such as yours to meet the spirit of our Charter. Furthermore, the SECFanatics governmental structure includes this humble person's position of Goodwill Ambassador-At-Large who follows up with visits to embassy nations to improve relations and who attempts to resolve any issues (such as this embassy request). Also, our government includes the position of Archbishop and Patriarch of SECFanatics who helps minister to the spiritual needs of our Region and to any embassy Regions who desire his help.
Please accept this invitation to inspect our Region to ensure that it meets your uniqueness requirements for the establishment of diplomatic relations. You may view our Regional Message Board, and our Charter. We trust that all will be found to be satisfactory and we look forward to future construction of embassies between our two great Regions.
Thank you for allowing me time to make this presentation on your RMB.
Thank you for actually coming to the Egg to make your appeal. I would like to ask ... Why does your region need another embassy exchange when you already have over 1500? Is your region simply embassy collecting?
The reality of most embassy exchanges is that there is little to no interaction between the regions once the embassy is exchanged. Do you believe your sport-themed regional banter will be appealing to our region mates? If so, why? What would indicate that to be true?
Others in the region may also have questions. I look forward to your reply and comments.
It is my pleasure. We try to follow a Region's prerequisite conditions when requesting an embassy.
At first inspection, it is easy to see why we might be perceived as "embassy collectors," except that our motivation is not mere accumulation of new embassies. The SECFanatics Charter mandates that we build relations with other Regions. Would a mere collector of embassies provide for the positions of Archbishop and Patriarch, and Goodwill Ambassador-At-Large, out of concern for the regions with which we maintain diplomatic relations?
We were under the impression that The Cuckoos Egg values uniqueness. The extensive embassy network is simply part of our uniqueness. As for "sport-themed" banter, our RMB discussions cover a wide range of topics, everything from breakup of the USA into separate nations, to the need for school uniforms, to prayers by the Archbishop and Patriarch of SECFanatics. Unless your nations are extremely dull and doltish, there will be something of interest for them besides sports. Also, in keeping with the spirit of our Charter, your nations would be very welcome to post on our RMB once embassies are established.
I await their scintillating conversation, and piercing questions, with bated breath.
My next scheduled diplomatic stop is the Seychelles. But I will delay my departure for a while in case there are additional questions concerning the embassy invitation from SECFanatics. I have enjoyed the lively discussion. Thank you, The new tao order.
*Takes proffered book*
Thank you! I shall cherish it always!
But I have noticed how you usually deal very quickly with the unsolicited embassy requests. What makes these guys so special?
Thanks to everyone for their hospitality here in The Cuckoos Egg and we look forward to the construction of embassies between our two Regions. We especially enjoyed the discussion with The new tao order. Our next stop will be The Seychelles. Should there be any issues after we depart, we may be reached via the SECFanatics Embassy. Good-bye.
I wouldn't say they are 'special'; their rep is one of the few to have read our WFE and actually followed Egg protocol. While not a guarantee of an embassy exchange -- still waiting for the Boss and Mrs. Boss to weigh in -- following the Egg protocol means your request will be addressed fairly rather than be summarily dismissed. Again, as per the WFE ... "We occasionally engage in efficacious conversation..."
I am currently opposed to embassies with SECFanatics. While I greatly appreciate their emissary and time spent, the fact remains that they are de facto embassy collectors. Their own regional charter (as quoted) lays out embassy collecting (though not in those terms) as an explicit goal of their region. They wish to establish embassies with us because they wish to establish embassies with everyone.
This is not meant as a negative statement relative to their region. It is simply a reflection that our embassy list is intentionally extremely curated and limited. (For that matter, if there are any regions which current regional members would like us to build embassies with, please let Tao, or myself know.)
Finally, in reflection of the extra and appreciated effort taken by Solarcaine and SECFanatics, I will personally reach out to them via telegram to inform them of this discussion.
It appears that I was wrong. I apologize. They weren't special at all!
It's so dang hot that I just saw a hound dog chasing a rabbitand they were both walking.
Time to crank up that A.C. till it's blowing snowballs.
Catalpa and Zuque
[OOC - The nice thing about the heat wave in Missouri this year ... I have not had to mow the yard for 5 weeks now. But after the rains of the past week, I will be mowing tomorrow. Life goes on.]
*Notices the AC vents blowing snowballs out of the now broken windows of KEGG and into the streets. Unconscious passersby lay along the sidewalk with minor head contusions*
Maybe we should back it down a bit, Karl. And spring for some bank-glass windows.
Is there anywhere it's NOT hot? Wildfires across Europe. Heatwave in large parts of the US. Scotland has got bored of the BBQs, people are not flocking to large grassy areas any time it goes over 15oC.
I would rather show off my majorly unshaved legs than wear tights to work.
It was still about 100F at 11pm last night here. DO NOT WANT, want winter plzzzzz.
*Turns down AC , and boards up broken windows at KEGG*
Dang..... Those windows were bank-windows, unfortunately they are bullet resistance only one way. They were install to protect moi, from all the embassy-collectors who were flowering me with love.
It's so hot today you could fry an egg on the hood of your car, 107C in the shade.
