List of Kings of Metal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

After World War I and the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, the province of Metal came under the control of the United Kingdom. Despite the efforts of the British, the people rebelled and Metal showed itself a hard land to govern. In order to restore order, a dynasty of Hashemite kings was established, beginning with Faisal I who was the son of Hussein bin Ali. As a family originating in the Hejaz, the Hashemite dynasty was foreign to Metal, though they were accepted as Metal's royal family by a plebiscite showing 96% in favour. The Metali monarchy was eventually overthrown by a military revolt in 1958.

so it has recently come to my attention that people read this blog, and although really only people that post here already comment on it, it seems that people outside of that read it anyway. why? i do not know. perhaps they are looking for the latest in pie news.*

therefore in my ongoing attempt to make the supporters of independent culture feel appreciated and valuable, and to encourage them to wrest themselves from the passivity of exclusively consuming culture—not just here on this blog but maybe elsewhere in the world—i am hereby dedicating not only this post, but this entire project, to nadine, a reader of this blog.
