Haskodrome
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
The Haskodrome is a bizarre stellar phenomenen which can only be witnessed using sophisticated electronic telescopes and the like on the 13th day of every third month of every third year. Resembling a giant shovel, it has a tendency to fly quite low on these days and thus has scooped up various unwary individuals who didn't heed the advice of their mothers. Over the years, a small collection of individuals has accumulated on the outer-blade edge of the Haskodrome shovel, and set about building a community to stave off the boredom of the intermediary wait between the tri-monthly tri-annual visits to Threshers.
In 1832, five years after his incarceration in the Haskodrome, he began construction of a series of wooden huts on The Outer-Blade, constructed out of a combination of balsa-like woods (which are abundant in Haskodrome) and carbon-fibre composites. The construction of this mini-township proved timely, as the second person to fall victim to The Haskodrome's visitations was scooped up in late 1833. From her capacious womb was birthed their three children; Sheep, CS Gas and Polar Bear (also known colloquially by The Rebellion as 'The TLF').

[edit] The Haskodrome Wars
Under his control, Eccles' Luftwaffe bombed the Haskodrome Town Hall to rubble, and led his panzer brigades into the Town Square, where they planted their standard; a flag featuring the symbol of The Giant Pickle. Although successful in gaining immediate control, a number of partisan elements were formed from the displaced peoples of Haskodrome, who waged guerilla warfare against Despot Eccles for many years afterwards.
[edit] The Theft of the Emergency Scriptures and the martyr Chipmunk
The Republic of New Haskodromia's provisional government set about restoring law and order and creation of a number of monuments to their nation's Imperialist past. The Tomb on top of the Peak of Chew is one such example, and the Museum of Hasbro was another, wherein the Emergency Scriptures were put on display.
Chipmunk Olivier Du Vrais was an anarchist youth whose campaigning had been gaining popular sentiment with the disenfranchised refugees of The Third and Fourth Wars before the Republican movement gained sufficient momentum leading to the reunification with Greater Dockyard. Following The Reunification, his supporters largely dissipated, leaving him a bitter and frustrated man. In an attempt at gaining revenge over the new provisional government, he broke into the Museum of Hasbro and stole the Emergency Scriptures, before setting light to them with a Bic lighter.
When news of this act of vandalism spread, an angry mob of people went to the house of Chipmunk Olivier, tearing down his doors and ransacking his house, before realising their mistake and tearing down nextdoor's doors (where he actually lived), finding Chipmunk Olivier in the living room watching Eastenders. Realising that his act of petulance was to be his doom, he freely handed himself over to the mob, who tore him to pieces using stanley knives and wine corkscrews.
[edit] The Groo Era
Democracy was finally established in New Haskodromia in 1953, and the progressive neo-conservative socialist Groo Party, lead by the charismatic wife beater Doctor Asiphus Al Hussein was duly elected into power. Despite his uncompromising violence towards women and various species of lizards, specifically geckos, he is still widely revered as the finest leader New Haskodromia has ever had.
The Groo Party immediately began a programme of dramatic reforms, including relaxing the highly unpopular bans on softball and ownership of plutonium. Swearing in public also became permitted in freehouses, for six days a week, although the profanity ban still remained on Tuesdays, due to pressure from the moral think tank, The Jops Lobby.The Haskodrome Health Service, was established, which put an end to the monopoly of Blacksmiths (who were often expensive and poorly trained) providing healthcare.
Other projects included the creation of the first national police force, The Bort Police, leading to a sharp fall in crime due to their controversial "shoot first, interrogate later" policy. The re-nationalisation of the trolleybus network finally made public transport affordable for most citizens, with triple and quadruple decker buses being built to fulfil the record demand.
However the downfall of the Groo Administration was the high level spending on grandiose schemes which could never possibly pay for themselves, the most famous being the solid gold road bridge from the bustling city of Kiptown Upon Windsearching to New Haskodromia's closest moon, Vanvania. Residents complained bitterly about the high taxation to fund the bridge, as well as gold being diverted from the drinks industry. The last straw was the death of local youth worker Ronaldo Gretcher, who was killed by a golden brick falling from the sky. The Groo Party never fully recovered from the bad press.
In 1965, the Groo Party was finally voted out of power, to make way for the right wing El-Beauno Brand X Party, who embarked upon a programme of embezzling money and legalising relationships between humans and goats.
[edit] Haskodrome Today
Following the sale of Haskodrome to The Coca-Cola Corporation in 1987, the island paradise is now a popular destination for tourists, famous for its unspoilt beaches and cheap heroin.
