Ah. I'm from Saskatoon. Confusingly, in a nearby town... I remember that my close friend that I was talking about earlier... she moved in Grade 5 to Langham, and in Langham, they actually had a graduation for all Grade 5 students there because their high school starts in Grade 6.

But yeah. I really need to stop procrastinating and actually get around to calling her.

You can do it tomorrow. :P

Nope. At least not me. I'm still demarcating borders, this time between ant hills.

Well, at least you won't turn those into mountains, ja?

Well, they don't meet the requirement to be called mountains. Though, with enough dirt, and probably billions of ants, I could make an entire mountain out of an ant hill. Then I can label it and notate its highest peak on a map! Great idea! *glassy-eyed look*

I think as soon as they start getting taller than your house, city officials will get suspicious.

They do have two outs if they want them, to be fair. They can either honour the petition for a second referendum or let Scotland take the brunt of the rage by putting up a poor fight against SNP's veto threat.

Flies in the face of the democratic process of course, but we at the EU do love recalling votes until we get the outcome we want.

Ireland and Lisbon, precious memories.

Yes, but David Cameron has already rage quit due to the result. Think we can get Boris Johnson to do the same?

If everything else fails, there's always the possibility of civil war. Next on the BBC: Great Britain's Next Cromwell.

Sadly for some, the UK's collapse into chaos is not the desired outcome, here.

It's not my desired outcome either, believe it or not. It would be unwise to underestimate the sheer stupidity of humans, though.

It's already looking like chaos is coming in some form. It's the older persons vs the younger persons, Scotland and N. Ireland vs Engand & Wales, it's nationalism vs globalism. It's an interesting tale about to be told.
