Great! At least it will help me stay awake until the Kommander gets here. So NOTHING really had it's origins in the recently closed political forum. It started out with 4 of us - the Kommander, the creator of NOTHING, W, the keeper of the manifesto, Big Al, the enforcer, and me, the lone female thrown in probably for no other reason than they needed someone to pick on. Nucky also poked his head in shortly after that so he could be considered founding member #5.
We came to learn many things in the original NOTHINGVILLE. Most importantly that people with different political leanings really could get along. And that people from the west coast really could understand people from the east coast - well, sort of. We had a lot of fun bantering back and forth and sharing small bits of our lives along the way. It didn't take all that long to build a real sense of comradery and we began calling ourselves brothers and sister. We were like family.
Then there was a panic when we heard the plug was going to be pulled on the political forum. So our Kommander, being the fearless leader that he is, once again took charge and moved NOTHINGVILLE to the regular forum and here we are.
Unfortunately, we have lost 2 of our founding members throughout the transition who have been exiled to the island. The island is Gilligan's, where Mary Ann is. The 2 lost members had been fighting over her for some time so who knows what has been going on there since their arrival. Not K though - he couldn't care less about Mary Ann.
So consider this a start, tomwed. I'll try to add more details along the way. And if you ever have any questions, please feel free to ask. After all, NOTHING is my favorite subject.
