Midnight Questions: Daniel.Plainview

Day 2,337, 21:04 Published in Ireland Cuba by Harrilal


Well, de time draws nearer. Soon de Plato fella be lettin' four new countries into de fray. Wit' dat, ah was t'inkin' dat ah might possibly not have many more days left in Ireland. I figured ah would spend what time ah had left doin' Midnight Questions! Daniel.Plainview was nice enough to give me a few minutes of he time. Poor presidential sap. Let's go!

Mistah Plainview, in de past week a change to de eWorld has been announced. Four new nations will come out of de grey to enter de fray. Naturally, it is hard to tell at de moment, but should it come to pass durin' your term... How will yuh administration approach dese newcomers?
I will offer any new nation eIrish friendship if it suits them.

Do yuh have any guesses as to which two countries Plato will be bringin' to de table?
I do not pretend to know the inner workings of Plato's mind 😃

Where are yuh gonna find de dragons to make yuh t'rone of swords?
I will cross the Narrow Sea and find daenerys targaryen. Then I shall marry here and take command of the dragons and order them to breath fire!

Where do yuh feel yuh are most limited, in terms of leadership of de country?
Well I guess history. There are a lot events that have happened throughout eIrelands history that has shaped the outlook and actions of the older players here. I have to do a lot of catch up...

What steps are yuh taking to catch up?
I have read a lot of articles and have asked citizens about the events and the effects they have had on the community.

Why does everyone want to ask Harrilal some variation of how much wood would a woodchuck chuck?"
I guess because they would like to know ? 😛\

Aside from abstracts such as "a better Ireland" and "fun", what is yuh main goal for de country as president?
Main goal is to keep us dancing around in Central Europe

Anywhere in Europe you particularly want to head to or is it just anywhere for de adventure?
Well Austria seems like a nice home for now since they did apparently try to trick us before. Anywhere that is helpful to our allies though. I would not mind going all the way to Athens! (disclaimer, the CP does not expect to get to Athens)

Do you t'ink Ireland can stay in Central Europe or are yuh just countin' de days?
I think we can stay in Central Europe for awhile more at least, we get a lot of help there. I'm not counting the days, only the determination 😉

I gonna cheat a little an' ask a two'fer. Of course, I make de rules in dis segment, so I can do it if ah damn well please. Are yuh gonna run for re-election? Why or why not?
I'm not sure, it is to early to tell. Maybe I will have a disaster in my term that would make my re-election unlikely, or maybe I will be swept up in the summer air and never return to this place 😛

Wondahful! T'anks kindly for takin' time from yuh business to chill wit' de Robber. As always, de interview guests get de last word. Anyt'ing you'd like to share wit' de readers from a word to a sentence to a paragraph or short story, by all means. De floor is yours.

"All of nationalism can be understood as a kind of collective narcissism."
200cc for the first person to tell me who said this (not you Harrilal 😛 )




Did you see that episode of that show? Ask Harrilal!
How it works: I take the first five (5) questions asked in the previous article's comment section and answer them however I see fit. This time, there were only 3 questions and 1 from an earlier article.

ian arbuckle asks, "How much can a woodchuck chuck wood?"
Since I've answered this two times already, I'm going to let the Midnight Robber (who began the trend by asking Irish Princess) handle this one.

Boyo, ah hate you an' all who ask dis mess!
Ah hate mihself for startin' wit' de princess!
So today ah come to nail up dis question's coffin!
Ah bringin' de answer an' terrible ruin!

Here's some information for you in de bleachers.
Woodchucks does be dotish little creatures,
Wit' a rat-like face an' rodent features!
If ah had my way, ah would turn dem all into sneakers!

Ah tired of de jokes an' makin' sport.
Here's de answer. De long an' de short,
Dem little bastards, dey don't chuck wood.
So de question y'all ask is no good.


Interesting... You know it's a hypothetical question, right? Just a fun little ditty?
Shut up. I will kill you.
Moving on then...

John Gormley asks, "Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?"
Intriguing. These must be song lyrics. I will look this up to verify (after I answer). Mr. Gormley, I suspect it always rains on you because you live in a pretty rainy area and for some odd reason, keep forgetting to bring your brolly.

Raven Anarcho asks, "Aside from presumably Trinidad and Tobago, which nation would you add to the game?"
Your presumption is correct. Barring my home, I would add Jamaica or Barbados in a heartbeat. I am pretty biased towards the English speaking Caribbean. However, I will take what I can get and if Jamaica is not put into play, I will join my Cuban brothers.

Once the Caribbean has two islands representing (one is not enough!), I would then press for Central America, who also currently has no representation. Belize first, because again I am biased. Belize is Central American, a member state of the Caribbean Community, and is English speaking. I wouldn't be picky if they put any of the other Central American countries in instead.

Finally I would press for West or Central African countries. Nigeria, Cameroon, Congo and Ghana come to mind.

Jiosen asks, "How do I get caviar stains out of my new Gucci suit?"
I don't know. Probably some sort of bleach (oxygen based). Though, I would check the label to see if there are any do's and don'ts on it. Also, don't get it stained to begin with. 😛


And that’s all the questions this week (even with scraping the barrel)!
Remember folks! The first five (5) questions asked in the comments of this article, will be answered in my next article!
Thanks for reading!
