Help design North Dakota's quarter!

[Brent]

They're taking suggestions:
http://governor.state.nd.us/quarter/

[zer0]

What, I can only write suggestions to them? And not send in my own artwork? That sucks!

I ain't too familiar with all of your crazy American states. What'd sum up the essence of North Dakota? Snow? The movie "Fargo"? Woodchippers? The phrase "Ya real good now"? Inbreeding? No, wait, that's South Dakota, right? Or is it Mississippi? Or Utah? Man, you sure have a lot of staes where "inbreeding" is a running joke!

Fuck man, my suggestion would definetly be a big ol' woodchipper with Peter Stormare standing next to it, feeding bits and pieces of Steve Buschemi into it. The motto would most likely be a giant "YA REAL GOOD NOW" above them. And on the other side, there would just be a big picture of that car dealer from "Fargo", looking just as stupid and confused as he does in the movie. Wearing the same stupid hat as he does in the movie. And also possibly be drooling.

Too bad I can't send a picture of that in.

Damn shame.

You might not be able to submit it to the NoDak quarter contest, but you can surely create it anyway - heck, a whole comics by zero installation could be about that and your impressions of other states as a person of not-America.

[Jeff]

Are you suggesting there be Ninjae on the North Dakota state quarter? Because that quarter would be worth millions.

[kendalchen]

there's that, but then there's the fact that ninja obviously means "sneaky"

[Jeff]

I suggested 'Ninjas Fighting' to that link. Y'all should too. North Dakota would become the coolest state in the nation. Figuratively as well as literally.

[zer0]

Jeff: Can't we combine our ideas? How about a ninja running another guy through a woodchipper with the phrase "YA LEAL GOOD NOW" in Engrish written above? And also possibly nude cheerleaders. Cause, you know, nobody wants to look at that fucking guy from Fargo anyway.

Kendal: Thank you very much! You've given me an idea for some brand new material! You know what that means, don't you?

[Jeff]

Naw, the Fargo thing is old skool. It's all North Dakota has, a bit part in a movie. But if they had NINJAE! HOLEY HOLY! A new generation of North Dakota being kick ass. Of course, nobody on the quarter making council is going to be forward thinking enough to actually put ninjae on the quarter. dummies.

[zer0]

Nude. Cheerleader. Ninjas. Think about it.

Yeah, that would be too forward-thinking for a bunch of old guys who stare at empty snowfields throughout most of the year, secretly wishing they were cool like Upper Michigan.

[Ken]

Hee hee. I also said "Ninja's fighting." Come on, everyone, jump on Jeff's band wagon.

[Jeff]

Dude, even Jason did it! If Jason did it and you didn't do it, then you don't know Jason. Or something.

I should write jingles and wrongs!

[zer0]

Thanks for the inspiration! Y'all can see the results here: http://www.noapologiespress.com/zer0comics/usareview.htm

To show you my thanks for inspiring me, you're hereby entitled to one free ice cream if I ever meet you IRL. The rest of the guys can't have one, though. They need to go on a diet.

[Ken]

Dude, Jeff, I think zer0's hitting on your girlfriend.

[zer0]

No way! I'm already happily engaged to a beautiful woman. You're just jealous because you're gay!

[Jeff]

Yeah, well I'm offering zer0's fiance one free digital manipulation if I ever meet her IRL! Take that! But I'm not mean like zer0 and the offer is good for him too.

[zer0]

OMG LOL! You are teh meanie! :( A digital manipulation is a poor substitute for free ice cream. Can't I at least have candy instead? Or at the very least a free beer? C'mon? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease?

Seriously, though; my fiancée seems to dig you guys. I've told her a lot about you. I'm at her place now, BTW. We just saw "Curse of the Black Pearl". It was pretty cool.

Hang on, she wants to say something:

Seriously, guys. You´ve completely ruined his pre-forum damaged braincells. But that´s ok. As long as the balls are intact. Love to you!

Ah, true love. How can anyone compete with that?

[Brent]

BURNED!

[Brent]

Ken is burned, I mean.

I've been drinking on the job. It' s fun.

[Jeff]

Oregon's quarter is going to be stoopid Crater Lake. What is California's quarter going to have on it?

[zer0]

Yo, Brent! Did you recieve the email I sent you containing the banner for the front page? BTW, Jeff; I think we here at NA!P should make up our own kingdom or state and design the quarter for that one instead. It'd be cool! We could tie it in to that whole fake constitution we talked about earlier!

I also saw "The life of David Gale" with my fiancée tonight. Man, does ANYONE here understand the ending of that movie?!

[Jeff]

Was that the one with the pirates and the curse? Cause the it's a monkey that keeps the curse going. Cause monkeys like shiny things. Was the monkey's name David Gale?

[zer0]

Naw, "The life of David Gale" stars Kevin Spacey as this guy who is anti-death penalty and gets set up by someone so that it looks like he's murdered his wife or something, but then it turns out that maybe he set himself up to be a martyr to the cause but maybe he didn't because the last scene shows this other guy at an opera in Italy and then there's this letter from a supposedly raped co-ed and a metal briefcase of money that changes hands after Spacey is supposedly already dead, except maybe it wasn't even Spacey who died and.. and... ARGH! Let's just say the monkey did it. Monkeys rule. Especially undead ones that you can only see in moonlight.

[kendalchen]

Jeff loves him some monkays.
Case in point: 2 Monkeys.

[zer0]

Shouldn't that be "12"?

[Jeff]

While I do love 12 Monkeys, she means 2 Monkeys. It's the band I'm in with Brent. We play at weddings. We rock. And for extra, we also roll.

[zer0]

You're in a band?

Cool!

What instrument do you play?

[Jeff]

None. We sing Robotech songs. And some of our own inspired creations. We're like Run DMC.

[zer0]

Do you wear 80's type hats and giant gold necklaces too?

And how come you're not named "Glitter & Gold"? SCANDAL!!!

[Jeff]

Because 2 Monkeys is an in-your-face street tough urban ghetto wedding band and Glitter and Gold is an in-your-face street tough urban ghetto dance crew. Sheesh!

[zer0]

But both bands like bananas, right? Right?

[Nicole]

Hi. I like bananas.

[zer0]

Me too! Ook! Ook!

[Jeff]

Hey! Where have you been Nicole? With Cappy? Did you run off on a whaling ship with Cappy Ahab?!

[Brent]

2Monkees!

WOOT!

[kendalchen]

There's a Dot and the Kangaroo reference in there somewhere.

Zero, I like your utter dismay upon learning that there are TWO Virginias. That must seem really weird and dismal to a foreigner!

[zer0]

Man, it ain't nothing compared to the shock I recieved when I found out that there is no state named "Calisota"! Or when I found out Duckburg doesn't really exist! :(

Wait, wait, wait, Duckburg doesn't exist? You can't really excpet me to believe that can you? I mean after all, for the past 10 years I have been donating money to the Duckburg Assosication For Preventing the Formal Education of Humans and Beagles, and if there is one thing I'm sure of, its the oppression of Beagles and humans by the duck overlords who rule that fair city.

[Jeff]

Duckburg does so exist. But we just don't want any foreigners foreigning it up. So, um, I mean, zer0, Duckburg does not in point of fact really exist. Really. Stop looking for it.

[zer0]

Life is like a hurricane... here in Duckburg... race cars, lasers, aeroplanes... it's a duck-blur..!

[Nicole]

Um, i've been around.. doing.. stuff..

Just been busy, I guess. Is Cappy still dead?

[zer0]

Most likely. Or he went on a really long vacation. At the bottom of the ocean. In the belly of a great whale. You don't get many options of where to spent your vacation when you're a whaler.

[Nicole]

Maybe he became a werewhale, and is too ashamed to show his briney face here ever again.

...


Yep.

[zer0]

You're weird.

[Jeff]

Maybe he became a werewhale and harpooned himself?

[zer0]

You're also weird. You're all weird. Weirdos.

[King Of Death]

Why arent my posts in here, now one is

[Nicole]

what the fucking fuck?
