@Janet: So far, all we’ve done is dash off an emailed request to the UN asking for the membership application forms. A response came back from the fourth personal assistant to the fifth deputy to the Secretary General of the UN. The response had only one word on it: “ROTFLMAO.” We took that to be a negative response.

We haven’t done anything else so far. The truth is, we wish for a lot of stuff but rarely put in any effort to trying to achieve it. The Toronto thing was just a wild idea that came into my head. It probably wouldn’t have gone anywhere even if it were a country.

If we make any further efforts regarding the UN I’ll attempt to get someone to write a post about.

Unfortunately Toronto is not a country, but I think it would be extremely interesting to know more about Shalampax’s attempts to join the UN (if one of the blog authors would feel like tackling that topic.

@Janet: All I know about him is what he told me. I figured, since he's not Shalampaxian, there's a fair chance he's telling the truth. I was too lazy to do any Googling about him. Where is this Toronto you mentioned? Is it a country and, if so, is it a member of the UN? Shalampax wants to join the UN, but the won't have us. We're looking for a small UN-member country we can buy. Then we can throw the inhabitants out (we don't get along well with other people) and get into the UN that way.

I googled Muddy York to see if I could find out anything else about Dr. Don,but all I found was the Muddy York Walking Tours in Toronto. Are you sure he’s who he says he is?

@David: Yes, my understanding is that the raft was already breaking up before Openfly made it to the research ship. She didn't specifically say, but I think she might have had to swim the last few feet. So, you're right, the raft is probably gone. Nonetheless, ships do occasionally come here to deliver goods. That's a good thing because we have to import everything except coconuts. And people cannot live by coconuts alone. We have to rebuild our dock every time a delivery ship comes because our gales usually smash the dock within hours after it is built. And the delivery ships usually have to wait a few weeks for the weather to clear enough for us to build the dock. But, it is possible that Openfly could hitch a ride back on one of those delivery ships once she gets off the research ship. You're wrong about one thing. A great many things are impossible in Shalampax. We're are much less capable than most people at most things. So more things are impossible here than in most places. That having been said, a lot of strange things do seem to happen in Shalampax and to Shalampaxians.

I think that, considering that Openfly’s swizzle stick raft has most likely been lost at sea, there is very little chance that Openfly will successfully return from her open sea voyage with the monkey watching zoologists. Thus your wager is perfectly safe…unless Openfly learns how to flap her arms as wings and fly from the ship back to the Shalampax homeland that she professes to hate.

Nothing is impossible in Shalampax.

@staciesmadness: We have a very strict policy here at Shalampax Speaks of never giving out email addresses unless we are paid exceptionally large bribes. However, Shalampaxian men are available at popular prices if you're interested. Their email addresses cost extra.
