2081 - Wyoming's popular vote overwhelmingly outnumbered the combined votes from Montana and North Dakota. The United Northern States quickly became known to the rest of the world as "the UNs". The UNs decided to build their Capital Building out of mashed potatoes and located it at the top of Devil's Tower. Their Constitution specifically prohibited the planting or owning of Papaya trees, either Bonsai or full-sized.
2082- Following the UNs example, the Sovereign South decides that by golly, we can rise again! The Confederacy announces a new succession from the Union and tells the current President to quote "Kiss our grits!" unquote.
2083--Meanwhile a massive 'quake breaks California off from the mainland and I celebrate my 101st birthday with my husband, kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids.
2² + 0 = 8 - 4
Hi Petrarch, nice to have you back ! :wave:
Did you have a nice trip ?
2085 Not all is well in the New Confederacy as the South cannot agree on the new Capitol. "We don't want her up in Richmond again! Too durn close t' Yankee Territory!" is the general consensus. Someone suggested Miami, but with the California earthquake, most of Florida is now underwater, so that's out! Raleigh, NC might work.
2086 - Someone suggested, "Hey, y'all, howza 'bout this: We build 'er up in Hazzard County on the Dukes' property. They're good ol' boys iffen ever there wuz one! An' while we're at it, we should oughtta make the entire po-LEES force fleet a cars all be Gen'ral Lees!" Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time, so the New Confederacy adopted it as the plan for the new Capital.
2^0 = 8 - 7
2088 - My 100th Birthday
-(2^0) = 8 - 9
2 ^ 0 = 9 ^ 0
2091 - I'm not here............ this isn't happening.............
2092 - Pensive is born. Oooops, it was 1992. Ain't I forgetful...
2093 Problems in the New Confederacy as Texas decides it wants its status as a Republic back, and succeeds from the South. Their war cry is "Remember the, uh, does anybody recall what that Spanish Mission was? Yeah, the one where Davy Whatizname died? Alamo? OK! Remember the Alamo!"
2093 - Hey Pensy, can I fly to neverland with you?
2094 - America has conquered Neverland....many people died during the war....and Neverland is not the way it used to be...
2096 - California and Florida begin to sink quickly, and by the end of the year, they will be lost to us forever.......just like Atlantis.
2095 has mysteriously vanished! :eek:
2098 - only because we had a repeat year - 2093
2099 - But what did poor 2097 ever do to us?
2100 - nobody ever liked 2097, it was scrapped from the record for events not to be repeated!
2101 - Exactly. Besides, 2097 got stuck in a loop-hole, and it still hasn't occurred even though we are already in 2101
2102--Lilly Lithwaite, an investigative reporter, discovers that the loop-hole story explaining away the disappearance of the year 2097 is a cover-up for a sinister plot by the New Confederacy to steal time and sell it off to wealthy people seeking alternatives to plastic surgery in the eternal quest to hold onto their youth. The New Confederacy scrambles to respond to Lithwaite's expose on time trafficking in their nation.
2103-- The New Confederacy decides to rename this year 2097 in an attempt to get Lilly Lithwaite, an investigative reporter off their backs about a time selling scandal. Lithwaite was unavailable for comment, her office released a statement that someone had really made a snafu of the timeline now, and when Lily returned, heads would roll. :( The New Confederacy issued its own statement: "If you check the timeline 1997 also disappeared and you can't blame us for THAT, since we didn't exist then! So what makes you think we're responsible for 2097? You got a complex against Southerners or what?"
2098 + 6: The UNs think that having to subtract five years from THEIR calendar (2104) to invoices for products sold to The New Confederacy showing the dates of sale as 2098 is complete idiocy. "Leave it to the South to speak in a Southern Drawl so slow that they've lost six years!" A special session of UNsgress is called (using the five tones of the alien spaceship from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind") to determine if a state of war should be declared.
2105--200 years ago The Monthly Story Magazine began (May) which eventually was retitled Blue Book which published a number of Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan novels.
2106 0r 2099 +6 which ever you prefer. The New Confederacy releases a statement calling the UNs "Uppity." Bubba Watkins, President of the New Confederacy, released the statement "Y'all can't blame us if yuh lost time. It didn't happen on my watch! If y'all would quit bumpin' the time forward in th' Spring and then back in th' Fall, maybe this wouldn't have happened!"
PL That was incredibly witty.:lol: Keep it up!:thumbs_upQuote:

2111-- In the continuing scandal concerning "TIMEGATE", as the ever so clever Lilly Lithwaite has named her story, shocking new developments have taken place when a video was discovered showing Lithwaite in the company of New Confederacy President Bubba Watkins, and the little date stamp on the video clearly says "2097". Not much has been said about the content of the video except that the two were shown to "be on very good terms with each other." Lithwaite called the tape a fraud in a press conference, only to be knocked out of the way by Watkins in his haste to call it a fraud. The plot thickens.
2112 - Amid the turmoil about time and the finger-pointing about how the greenhouse effects of logging the last tree in the rain forests caused the disappearance of California and Florida, and the absurdity of the six Senato... er, I mean... citizens of UNs living in the dome of the Capital Building atop Devil's Tower, and mysterious appearance of a video tape from 2097 somehow showing up in its own future in 2111, no one noticed a small band of identical twins slipping off together to form a new nation in the wastelands of Merryland to live along the corridor of concrete they fondly call, "The Beltbuckle of the Waste". They named their new nation, "Gemini," a name they felt was palindromically symbolic of their culture and of the year their nation was created, namely, 2112.
2113------so sorry I missed the number 1986 since it was the year I was born.
2114 The New Confederacy's President Bubba Watkins resigns, giving a farewell speach and saying "I am not a crook!" while giving a double V for victory sign. New President Clovis Ledbetter the Upmteenth doesn't pardon Watkins as was expected. He said, quote: "Durn fool got hisself in trouble, let him deal with it. We oughta ride him outta here on a rail. Durn fool, should've known ya cain't trust no Yankee woman!"
2115

2119 - The San Francisco shipyard, Hunters Point, undergoes a major reconstruction to become the first (and eventually, headquarters) base of an infant branch of the military known as Star Fleet
2120 - The UNs demand a Congressional Inquiry into the mystery of how Star Fleet can build a base at Hunters Point, San Francisco, when California and Florida disappeared in 2096.
