Exciting terrorism, coming SOON to a town near you!

As these things generally are a secret Al-qaida document has been "found" in a "house" By "troops" detailing the "plans" for a "terrorist attack", and frankly, kids, they've got me quaking in fear.
Thermonuclear devices? Pah. Genocidal viral strains? I shit 'em (no, really, I do). What these maniacs have in mind far outstrips anything the human mind has hitherto devised.

1) DUMMY ASSAULT Utilising the latest microtechnologies a zealot will implant chips in all of the waxwork models at Madame Tussauds, loosing them on a murderous rampage upon our dear capital. The theory is that us Brits will simply not be able to inflict injuries upon such much-loved figures as Mick Hucknall and Freddie Mercury, and will instead stand in slack-jawed horror as the Muslim automata wreak havoc upon our Anglo-Saxon faces (the only exception is the newly installed model of Kylie Minogue, which in a move to decimate the morale of the population will track down the fleshy version and face her down in a climactic battle atop Big Ben which may well decide the fate of humanity).

TANK SURPRISE Leading figures from the worlds of television, sport and politics will be knocked out, to re-awaken at the controls of a stolen Challenger Tank let loose in the High street of a dormitory town such as Stevenage or Welwyn Garden City. Psycho-suggestible drugs are fed to them and tiny radios give them the impression that they are fighting in the Gulf War Redux. Drunk with power and patriotism they unwittingly mow down hordes of Saturday afternoon shoppers. Has already occurred in Kidderminster, where Sue Barker could only be stopped by the use of ingeniously deployed attack hovercrafts, and a giant comedy plank.

ROHYPNO-GIN As Britains licensing laws become relaxed, so will the shelves of our off licenses be filled with a tasty and cheap new drink. It looks like Gin, it tastes and smells like Gin, but we are blissfully unaware of the added ingredient - fear and chaos. As our nation becomes hooked on this tasty distillate, downing it in record quantities so we find ourselves blacking out for longer and longer periods of time, waking to find ourselves in a strange land, it looks like England, it smells like England, but all the trains are pulled by horses and everything smells of Patchouli. Be vigilant kids. Do you want to live in a world where trains are pulled by horses? Do you?

BBC4 I haven't really thought this one through..

FUNDAMENTALIST ROOFING - At first the nation swoons as a new nationwide roofing firm, Jiladen Services, offers low, low prices and a sense of style not normally associated with the proffesion. With the nations taste for decorating makeovers fizzling out, roofing rehash becomes the new armchair sport and a TV programme is made. Slowly but surely the whole nation goes Jiladen, only to realise their brand new multi-cloured thatch helps spell out "Bin Laden is Great!" when Britain is viewed from above. Cue all pilots undergoing an aerial conversion and BANG!, there goes the neighbourhood(s).

I am beginning to see the defenestration of Prague in a whole new light

Weebleman (StillSimon), Thursday, 14 November 2002 21:35 (twenty-three years ago)

Defenestration of Prague? Cripes! How do you throw an entire city out of the window?

Pete Andrews, Friday, 15 November 2002 12:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Grab the city at both ends, bend at the knees, slowly stand raising the metropolis above your head, totter toward the open window then heave away, ensure there is no-one below 1st though having a major conurbation land on ones head can taint the day somewhat.

Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Friday, 15 November 2002 16:16 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, tell me about it!
This was all green-belt this morning. Now look. Reinforced concrete toad-traps and prefabricated box girder scarecrows as far as the eye can see. Lynskey Global Developments Inc (motto: If animals want rights, then let the little bastards go out, get a job, and PAY for them like everyone else!) must be stopped!

Pete Andrews, Friday, 15 November 2002 16:36 (twenty-three years ago)

You obviously don't know me very well, Pete.

Pantenocracy: government by people with beautiful hair

Pooster (pooster), Saturday, 16 November 2002 16:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Pantocracy – Government of people in large horse costumes.

Pressocracy – When the papers have more power that the government…oh ang on!

Patentocracy – Government of clockwork ministers.

Pillocracy – Government consisting entirely of Jude Law

Pissocracy – New Labour

Pepperocracy – Government making world altering decisions purely based on the thoughts going through their heads as they sneeze.

Persingocracy – Government consisting of shitty philosophical wannabies.

Piscesocracy – Only large fresh water fish are allowed to vote.

PALocracy – Political stratergy that only work in some European countries.

Pubocracy – Now that’s where we get to make the decisions.

Robin (RJM), Tuesday, 19 November 2002 14:06 (twenty-three years ago)

I want to live in a Pantocracy. Just imagine our section in the EU.

Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Tuesday, 19 November 2002 14:41 (twenty-three years ago)

They don't have to begin with P, you know, Robin. I tried kleptocracy and paedocracy, and unfortunately they both already exist ... so I'll have to leave you with ....

Pyrocracy: Vote Guy Fawkes

Pooster (pooster), Tuesday, 19 November 2002 14:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Poopster, Poopster Poopster! Persisting putting ‘P’ prefacing posts pauperises plebeians plus prevents piss poor performance, punk!

Robin (RJM), Tuesday, 19 November 2002 15:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Holy Moley! Sound the tocsin! Ring out, ring out ye bells! A word has been coined that will surely be the common currency of future times! The Oracle has spoken: Google has returned zero, zip, nul point, keine, nada, rien, nichts ... for "Gatesocracy"

I think we should ring Norris McWhirter or Nigel Rees or someone. Unless someone knows the Greek for 'gates', in which case we can make it even more recherché-sounding.

Pooster (pooster), Tuesday, 19 November 2002 15:12 (twenty-three years ago)

PS: Lynskey's challenge whereby he staked nearly his entire livelihood on us never getting a "somebody else has posted something meaningful while you were trying to assert your own pathetic angle on life" is starting to become synonymous with 'naiveté'. I am starting to get a bit ticked off with being told someone else has parked in my space. I think we should storm Lynskey's house and take everything he owns, or has ever seen, bearing in mind his original gauntlet was: "I am willing to wager practically everything I've ever owned or seen on the fact that it will never, ever happen." And his bottle of Knockando, assuming there's still anything in it.

Palaeocracy: government by old people

Porphyriocracy: government by Prince Rogers Nelson (ha ha! I crack me up!)

Patiocracy: government from a deckchair

Platocracy: government in a non-sexual way.

Papiliocracy: government by butterflies

Pobolycwmocracy; government by a bunch of 60-yr-old Welsh peasants

Pooster (pooster), Tuesday, 19 November 2002 17:03 (twenty-three years ago)

The Greek version of Gatesocracy would be Pulonocracy, insinuating either the sexual winning of a political system (depending on pronunciation) or a zero hit result for Google.

I much prefer the Latin Garitesocracy. Thee whom is governed by Gates is squeaky and hinged.

Robin (RJM), Tuesday, 19 November 2002 20:51 (twenty-three years ago)

But! But! Pulonocracy begins with a P! And it's gotta be more authentic than a Latin/Greek mix! Besides, it's only a matter of time before Google catches up with your coinage, and you get to be famous, and Communications Officer for Mr. Gates! Or something. Calloo Callay! Pulonocracy! Yea! Disseminate this word, I beseech you! You'll be on dictionary.com and everything! Can I get a backstage pass?

Palindromocracy - Government that works both ways.

Pubescentocracy - Government by teenagers.

Peeblesocracy - Government by a small scottish town.

Praeternaturalocracy - Government that works in a mysterious way.

Prattocracy - The tory party.

Puppetocracy - The system we have at the moment.

Pretendocracy - The government we thought we were voting for.

Pete Andrews, Wednesday, 20 November 2002 09:42 (twenty-three years ago)

PeteAndrocracy - Government by Birmingham based students.

Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 09:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Perecocracy - Society governed by many constraints

Pinkocracy - Society governed by a 50's America vision of Communism

Plankocarcy - Society governed by, well, planks.

Matt (Matt), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 16:38 (twenty-three years ago)

Pachydermocracy: Anne Widdecombe rules
Penitentocracy: government by Ian Brady
Pademelonocracy: government by wallabies

Oh, you know, fuck this. It started out as a bit of fun, but it's becoming a tyrannical exercise in itself. I say, revert back to the simpler forms of government — like PDFocracy, paperless government — and let's have done with it.

pooster, Thursday, 21 November 2002 00:19 (twenty-two years ago)

two years pass...
Polyocracy - Government by simply everybody
PiLocracy - Government by John Lydon and Jah Wobble
Popocracy - probably a new gameshow on BBC3

THIS THREAD HAD A SUSPICIOUS REBIRTH DATE. I THINK WE'VE FOUND OUR MURDERER.

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 8 July 2005 13:14 (twenty years ago)

Pitchforks, torches, and rope! Get your red hot angry mob supplies!
