What the hell does Hurr Durr mean?

What the hell does Hurr Durr mean?

It's my understanding that Hurr Durr is a retort or phrase Morgan likes to use. (He can probably clarify this,)

I do acknowledge that making this part of our motto is a bit of tomfoolery, but tomfoolery is not unprecedented in Atlasia. The Midwest and Pacific do this, and even the Southeast is now known as "The Imperial Dominion of the South."

I would be opposed to a giant makeover like that, but this, in my opinion, is harmless.

I think i'll abstain on this one.

Actually we should rename the Northeast the "Land of the Kennedys."

The Governor will be named John F. Kennedy
The Lt. Governor will be named Robert F. Kennedy
The CJO will be named Edward M. Kennedy
Representatives will be referred to as "[Insert user name here] Kennedy"
The Northeast Senator shall be named Joe Kennedy Jr.
The Speaker of the Northeast Assembly (or whatever position Dallasfan65 holds in the future) shall be named Master of the Kennedys. His motto shall be: One Kennedy to rule them all, One Kennedy to find them, One Kennedy to bring them all and in the darkness bind them."





Just kidding

It's more of a retort.  It's used all over the interbutt as a response to when somebody says something retarded.  For example, in a discussion about tagging, someone might say in defense of tagging that "nobody owns the walls," to which someone will reply with "hurr durr" or "herp derp."

Maybe all the lefties could be Kennedy, and all the righties Cabot Lodge.

yes, we all knew who ended up winning that battle

[Free Palestine]

I propose an amendment to my bill:

1) The phrase "hurrdurr" is hereby added to the end of the motto of the Northeast.

You're lucky I was late in starting the vote.

Since you can amend your own bill with impunity, and it's assumed the amendment you propose will be "friendly", it's added.



We shall now hold a vote on the Hurr Durr Act. Representatives have twenty-four hours to vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.

[tpfkaw]

Aye.

[Free Palestine]

/e/

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

I'm torn, I think it's silly... but whether it's actually worth a nay...

...erring on the side of caution.... Nay

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

Aye.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

The Bill Passes.

Ayes: 2
Nays: 1
Not Voting/Abstain: 2

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

IIRC abstentions don't count in the vote total, so the bill passes 2-1. But I'm going to veto it anyway, but you should put it on my desk anyway to make things official.

I would dispute that, but for the sake of speeding things up I will change my vote to Aye.

[tpfkaw]

And it therefore passes unanimously, and veto-proof.

[Rowan]

What the Hell?

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

No... it wasn't unanimous...

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

I suppose there is a bit of a dispute here.

Han and Wormy seem to believe that official abstentions don't contribute to the vote total - I do.

However, if that is to be the case and we go by the Wormy/Han theory, then..

2/3 = Pass,

3/4 = 75%, or veto-proof.

I merely changed my vote to Aye to speed up the process and get it to the Governor's desk, but since doing so makes it veto-proof, I suppose we're in a bit of a quandry.*

I just checked the SOAP - apparently I was wrong.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

In which case, I revert back to my abstention, and it is placed on the Governor's desk (presumably for a veto.)

(Shouts from the Public Gallery, rather drunkardly)

Why are there mysterious stains on the Constitution - or did I confuse it with The Conscience of a Conservative? Hard to tell these days.

Official Announcement:

By the power vested in my, I officially pronounce NiK, Conor, and RowanBrandon the winners of the Northeast Assembly Special Election. Congratulations to all!

[Rowan]

Okay, let's get things going!
