I pledge allegiance to the orange, blue, and yellow flag
of our beloved land of Baja LasVegastan,
and to great Tom Streeter, the man for which it stands;
Both in his capacity of Benevolent Dictator of Baja LasVegastan
and in his capacity as Mahatmalama of the Established Church of Baja
LasVegastan;
Provided, however, that the taking of this pledge is explicitly conditioned
on its not getting me (or anyone else) into trouble
with the United States of America,
nor with any other
foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty whatsoever;
And provided, further, that the remotest possibility of any such trouble
shall forthwith relate back to the taking of this pledge ex post facto;
and shall void the same ab initio;
Tap tap, no take-backs, no erasies.
