About Me
- PTR
- A raging Bruxist, I grew up on an ostrich farm until I was mistaken for a woman one time too many. Leaving my angsty post-teen life as one of three only children, I flew to Stockholm where I unexpectedly won the Man Booker Prize for lengthy blogging about being short. I'm perplexed to report that I like painting tiny Romans.

Please can the national anthem be Tangerine by Led Zeppelin?
That is an excellent suggestion. But the lyrics simply won't do. I'd have to fit new lyrics to the music. Something like:
"Steel hands, golden heart,
O land of Tangeria,
You are a mother to me,
And my many brothers.
Once more we will rise,
Once more we will live our dreams,
Once more the world will know,
Tangeria, the mountain flower."
This of course is the English translation which is why is doesn't rhyme or scan.
If it is going to be a fictional country, shouldn't the National Anthem be something more tangential? After all, it's not as if we live in GodSaveTheQueen or AdvanceAustraliaFair.
My vote would be to adopt "Wluduoem" as the Anthem. I'm not sure if that's actually a song, but I've always wanted to try and work the word verification code into the text of a message. Bingo!
This is such an important topic that I'm going to thrust it back onto the main page. See Monday 13 October for an update!
