In the cold dark night of Seattle, a man and a woman sit talking about personal problems at Pikes Place Park, overlooking Elliot Bay on Puget Sound at the edge of King County, Washington.

Out of nowhere comes "Tricia Lapitan", the Founder of Heroes for the Homeless, asking, "Would the two of you like some hot chocolate?

What Tricia soon realized was that she was talking to "The Penny King", the man who is simultaneously causing penny shortages in Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle by buying them up for a dollar each and hiring more than four dozen "penny pinchers" for his Kingdom of Pen, a sovereign infinite nation materializing on earth as more and more people watch the global economy crumble from the butterfly effects of applied chaos theory!

Flashing back to Beaverton, Oregon a week earlier, the Penny King was negotiating a book editing contract with Wade Morin, no pun intended, while coming up with solutions to formally present to Mayor Greg Nickels of Seattle who has to contend with what has become a laughing stock issue in Seattle.

The houseless call it Nickelsville, for the $41 million in federal funding which was wasted last year and got no results for the homeless and houseless in Seattle!

"Since the insolvent bankruptcy, failure and shotgun wedding of Washington Mutual, more than $20 billion dollars has left the coffers of Seattle and King County is about to experience a major economic depression, regardless of how much more hot air the Federal Reserve and Congress pumps into the imaginary economy of America!, said "The Penny King" in an exclusive interview for Associated Content, "The Peoples Media Company"!

Wade Morin says that "Nickels should invest some of that money this year in hiring the homeless and houseless people walking the streets of Seattle to pick up cigarette butts from the streets and pay them a dollar for each butt! Maybe even add a dollar a pack in cigarette taxes to penalize the smokers who don't know how to use public ashtrays!"
