Again, fuck being the 51st state. For me, it’s because we’re gonna lose the Underdog tag we so do love to wear. And besides, it would look awkward if we called ourselves Americans. Speaks another language, lives in an apartment, 9-to-5 jobs or worse... yeah, that won’t sit well. We’ve fucked wanting to be the 51st state, sure, but I just want to remind myself of that. Though if it worked for Isle of Man...

But one thing I know: the US wasn’t that bad at sitting in our seat. They just piched us for a few seconds and was kind and thin enough to let us share a seat.

Can I borrow some of your old ships? You know, just in case.

There’re only 50 states.

PR stays a territory. Mostly because I’m looking at high end beach front condos in San Juan to purchase in the future. If the population keeps moving out and a default occurs, shit will get cheap.

From my experiences, Puerto Rican’s also clap when planes land...

The Iowa class while not on official reserve anymore are to be maintained in a ready state, should the need arise.

Hey guys he’s talking about the Phillipines - there was a 51st state movement probably 30 years ago and it used to have the same status as Puerto Rico did until just after World War II.

There are some nice properties out there right now. Some crappy ones, too.

"Fuck the Puerto Rican economy, I want a cheap condo!"

I should probably start checking some out, maybe in Greece too!

Not yet. They're still on the Euro. Still expensive for what they are.

Let me know ... my Mom is a realtor in PR, insider’s tip - look for apartments on the west coast, remember the Sun sets that way.

Back then the Philippines would have nearly become the 51st.

If movies, books, and video games have taught me anything, it’s that when aliens/EMPs/nanomachines cripple our technology, the old grease-and-gears battleships will be our only defense!

If all else fails use the biggest gun available.
