Christmas in Bongolesia...oh dear...

So it's Christmas in Bongolesia, and let's see how it goes....

First off, Santa checks his list....

"Ho Ho Ho!" he says..."Hmmm.....P'hat Daddee B'wonah.....hmmmm......let's see his naughty and nice list...."

"Hmmmm....mmmmmhmmmm....mmmm....errrr......uhhhh.....errrrggg....Oh dear....errr...."

"Hmmm..P'hat Daddee B'wonah...I'm gonna be here awhile..."






"Was he nice?....True he is a snappy dresser...."




or




"Was he naughty?...He DOES tend to fly off the handle quite a bit...."

Sooo....on Christmas Eve, P'hat (like all the other folks around the world), hung up his stocking with anticipated glee at what he would find there...and hopefully a Christmas goodie or two under the tree, (Salma Hayek or Alyssa Milano, would be good...)

Either / or....he's not that picky....

So he hung up his stocking, (with his name in gold lettering for easy viewing...)




Right next to the flag...

And the next morning, he raced down the stairs; just as fast as his size 14 feet could carry him...to see the wonderful things that Santa left him....

And he found that Santa have given him....

Oh dear...Some of West Virginia's finest export...

Needless to say, P'hat isn't very happy right now....and this doesn't bode well for Bongolesia...

Meanwhile over at our house, my lady discovers a present to her from "You know who"...

"Wellllll....at LEAST it's NOT ticking....."

The expression on her face is one of...????

Why whatever could it be???

And most of all, how did it get past the International Postal Inspectors???

So she opened it up and found....

P'hat Daddee had sent her a SNUGGIE!!!! With a nice skull and crossbones motif....how, errr....appropriate...I think...erg...

So we seem to end this Christmas and 2010 with a sad dissapointed P'hat Daddee B'wonah, who didn't get what he wanted for Christmas....(much to Salma's and Alyssa's relief), and my lady getting something that forces her to remember..."It's the thought that counts..."

Merry Christmas from The Bongolesia Blog!!!!

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY, BONGOLESIA BLOG!!!!

Wow...my baby has turned 4...

Little did I know that four years ago, I would start a blog on something that isn't real, yet leads people, organizations, and government agencies to believe it is...something that doesn't exist in the real world, yet has people argue about "the social condtions within it's borders" in a college cultural anthropology class and with a teacher from Africa that never realized that the country wasn't real...

wow...

In the last four years, I've designed much for the country, including facebook pages, and have been embroiled in hot Wiki arguments for it's survival, and on TMP with folks that seem "offended".

And it's all in fun.

So many people over the last four years have helped, and contributed to this site. I cannot name them all, but in the words of His Excellency President-For-Life P'hat Daddee B'wonah, "And you know WHO you are..."

But here are some names and thanks to those that helped this little hell-hole come about:

1: To TMP for allowing it to flourish.

2: To Joe Sudek, Jason Coffey, Rick San Augustin, Alex, Jon Wright, Dan Tuziak, Gary Dryzanski, Tom Adams, and so many more from the Las Vegas gamers groups there that helped support it.

3: To Tony Rocha, (the founder of Houstons "Little Wars"), for his support, and to Mike Porterfield, who helped open my eyes to the world of AK47 Republic.

4: To the Indianapolis and Midwest US crew; My "brother" Dan, (Marauder6), Noah and Brian, and their kids who have romped through this land, and the rest of the gang from G2D4 here in Indy. Jerry runs a good shop. Thanks Jerry.

5: To the country's fans, (those brave souls that have subscribed to this site...) and especially to "Kyoteblue" and "Count Natokina" of TMP fame who have given tons of support. Without the support of you folks here reading this, it would simply be another "little site".

6: To Salma Hayek, David Hasselhoff, Alan Alda, Martha Stewart, Ricardo Montalban, and the rest of the supporting cast that have found themselves drawn into this...

7: The guys at the AK47 Republic Yahoo Group..which puts up with my madness....

8: And a big thanks to those people who have for some reason said "That this inspires them" to create their own countries, build armies, engage in third world shenanigans, created action figures, and thank me for using ideas that they said I gave them. In all honesty I should be thanking them for their creations and for enjoying what I could do. So guys...here's to you...

And most of all:

To My lady Melodie, who supports all of my strange endeavors and imaginary glory in this country. She's supported this country and it's political hi-jinks whole heartedly...and I could never ever thank her enough...

Thank you all for letting this get to it's 4th birthday....

Sincerely;

Michael T. Murphy

*sigh*

Yes, we know who you are...
