Enough with all these puny questions. Doom is not impressed.

Are you, or are you not the real Slim Shady?

Are you going to have concubines?  
If so, can I be one?

I’m a bit unruly at times, but I’ll gladly call you Master…

I will not have any concubines, I’m more interested in finding a Dark Queen. Some of my Imperial Council would be interested, though.

Oh, hell, Kathryn, you can be MY concubine:

“My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;  
Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;  
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;  
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.  
I have seen roses damask’d, red and white,  
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;  
And in some perfumes is there more delight  
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.  
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know  
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;  
I grant I never saw a goddess go;  
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:  
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare  
As any she belied with false compare.”  
–William Shakespeare, Sonnet 130

This particular sonnet is also known as “Shakespeare’s Great Dis”

How is a raven like a writing desk?

Have you considered destroying California? And would the resultant increase in your popularity (after destroying LA-LA land) result in your being stripped of your “Super-Villian” license, and cause you to be designated a “Public Benefactor”?

Does, like, ya knauw **essense** precede **existance** or, like what? 😕

Easy, I have both.

I have other uses for California. And I doubt I’d be called a “Public Benefactor” for killing half the Movie industry.

Essence is a facet of existance.
