My proposal for moving the United States to a wicker-based economy.

[Rabrrrrrr]

Here it is:

Let us move the United States' economy into a wicker-based economy.

I am suuuuuuch a fucking genius. Did it in one sentence.

[Dr. Strange]

1. Something Wicker This Way Comes

[kentauros]

2. An economy based on horse whinnying?

That would be interesting to see... or hear.

:P

[Orsino]

3. I, for one, welcome our new Australasian overlords. n/t

[flvegan]

4. Excellent! I'm outsourcing my rattan vine gathering to children in Guatamala

where they're paid 4 cents a day and their overlor...er, "management team" is given a bonus for giving beatings that don't hurt productivity.

I'm gonna be so rich!

[arbusto_baboso]

5. It would be a mistake to put all our economic eggs in one wicker basket.

We'll have to diversify. We cannot ignore the important market for concrete-hulled cargo ships.

[rug]

6. Can't we start out with a wick-based economy first.

Sort of a trial balloon.

Then after a few decades we can propose a public wicker option.

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. No, it's wicker or nothing!!!! Stop compromising and caving in!!!

:grr:

[rug]

8. Socialist.

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Fascist anarchist!!

[rug]

11. Nazi teabagger!

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. Pol Pot-supporting capitalist arborist!

[rug]

18. Kincadian collector of Hitlerian watercolors!

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. ass-scratching mandolin-raper!

[rug]

20. baboon butt aficionado!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. bathtub-lobbing death-panel fetishist!

[rug]

23. your pubes have no options you grandma killing wicker chauvinist!

[Rabrrrrrr]

24. Yeah, well double-dumb-pubes on you!

[PVnRT]

10. I think it better to use a wicker co-op with a possible wicker trigger

Think of the free market!

[rug]

12. I agree. If we move too quickly it would destabilize the entire wicker industry.

Say, do you want to see my new pictures of Bo?

[wickerwoman]

13. Excellent, Smithers....

Excellent.

:patriot:

[Fire Walk With Me]

15. We're going to have to add a 149-page pork bellies proposal to it

but don't worry, our PAC have never before failed.

With a Republican in office...

[TK421]

16. Wicker was HUGH in the 80's....let's just bring back the 80's

Oh...nevermind...you hated that decade. Just trying to help!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. That's a great idea; I'd be rich!

I have a ton of the stuff.

[rockymountaindem]

22. And suddenly underwater basket weaving seems like a smart field to be in

All those kids who thought they wasted their lives majoring in that during undergrad will surely get behind your plan.

[krispos42]

26. We'll need somebody to repair the wicker drilling platforms, fa'sure! n/t

[muriel_volestrangler]

25. They say it does wonders for the crop yields

27. Just like Gilligan's Island!

:bounce:

PS: On second thought, I think that was a rattan-based economy.
