If fnet were a building...

Well, it'd be a pretty interesting building, I suppose. We'd probably have a lot of naked people running around in the hallways...

But what if it were its own country? Fnet deserves to be a country. But of course a country deserves an anthem, and a flag, and a bird, and... the list goes on.

What would fnet's anthem be? Flag? Fnet's national soda? National ice cream flavor?

.I'm reaaaaalllllyy bored, don't laugh at me.

I think I'm her special ops. Or some person in her cult. Or something. Maybe? I could have been demoted.

For our anthem, I'd like to make the following nominations (yes, they're all from 1980s movies) for consideration:

You've Got the Touch -- Van Halen
Win in the End -- Mark Safan
Winner Takes It All -- Sammy Hagar
You're the Best -- Joe Esposito
The Moment of Truth -- Survivor
No Easy Way Out -- Robert Tepper
Lunatic Fringe -- Red Rider
