On the English-speaking continents of Gaia, a popular phrase directed at daydreaming individuals is “They're on a trip to Happy Land.”
Happy Land, also known as Happishire, is the kingdom of the Happs from the planet Fabulousi. The Happs were made up of over 90% glucose and were commonly hunted by the sugar-devouring Lovel before finally winning the war and retiring to spend the rest of their days in a non-stop party in honour to the God of Candy, Extrava-Gent. Unfortunately “the rest of their days” was but a few short weeks as the kingdom was subsequently destroyed by a starved reptile species made from rock candy. But the place lives on in spirit and metaphor.
How the phrase gained popularity is unknown, though the common theory is it was spread by Extrava-Gent's husband as a prank.
