Okay, I’m not here to try & suck my way in to a high-level position. Never been good at it anyway. Got a question, though– Could you PUH-LEEEEEEEZE do something about the ignorant (insert many colorful bad words here) WANKERS who drive with that UNFREAKINGBELIEVABLY LOUD BASS??? Man! Maybe you could have your Happy Fun Squad do something…happy and fun. Or you could issue ordinary citizens grenade launchers and we could do the Happy Fun thing ourselves? Thanks for your consideration. ---

Okay, here’s my plan for driving; give everyone a turbo paintball gun when they get their license, and instruct them to use it whenever they see someone being a big wanker while driving. Hit 'em with a big splotch of fluorescent paint; all vehicle inspected monthly, vehicles with big splotches of fluorescent paint are used to kill their owners. Two birds with one stone, really; overpopulation fixed and better driving in one fell swoop. (Oh, BTW, can I have Canada?) ---

What are gonna do tonight, Verrain? Same thing we do everything night. Try to take over the world. Tonight’s plan Pinky is simplicity itself. For years now, I have been masquerading as Scylla, a tough talking satirist with wacky farm experiences. With such topics as Goat Porn, Pigeon Deaths, and condemning vegetarians I have snared hundreds, thousands, nay Teeming Millions to be compelled to read every word I post. Slowly, I have been conditioning their minds, priming them to be ready the thread that will bring them under my complete control. With minds such as these under our control, the world will soon be ours! Have you got all that Pinky? Righty-o Verrain. Your talky computer gizmo got it all. Narf! I’ll just push the button, and. No, Pinky! That will ruin ev ---

Every all-powerful world dictator needs a personal mad scientist to carry out his twisted (yet, in this case, benevolent) desires. As a budding Mad Geneticist[sup]TM[/sup], I’m your man. Whaddya want first? Flying monkey-man troops? Quintuple-breasted warrior maiden Amazon bodyguards? Mayhap a subservient happy and obedient vassal race? Your wish is my command, O great one! ---

Oh most benevolent **Scylla** : I ask nothing for myself in the way of privilege and special position. I have but two simple requests, hardly worth mentioning, really: No more dandelions. No more ants. In return for these two incredibly small requests, I shall offer my terminally nice services to you in any way you desire. I am pretty handy - I could even make the French Maid costumes for the harem. I already have my own. ---

Francesca: No snivelling necessary in my benevolent society. I’m a grass roots, mingle with the masses kind of tyrant, and would like to keep up the appearnace of accessibility. Petition denied. I think there may be an excellent spot as dominatrix available in my **Happy Fun Squad** if you are interested. Tattva: What duties would the mistress of booze perform (I hope it doesn’t involve odd uses for a bottle?) deb2world: I’m sorry, but I intend to be benevolent dictator of a utopian society. Government freebies are out. Unclebeer: I support the right to drink lite beer. When I play tennis I like to drink Coors light to keep hydrated. Athletes need to keep hydrated and without lite beer we might be forced into something unnatural like Gatorade or water. While I sympathize with your aesthetics, lite beer is for now a necessary evil. Perhaps one day we can devote the reesource s to find a better way, but until then… Odieman: What can you do? Persephone: Yes. Noise pollution is bad. No more bass. Count on it. Tevya: I wish it were that easy. With 5 1/2 billion people on this planet, it’s gonna be difficult to make sure they are all getting what they need. I have some ideas and will do my level best should I achieve my position. I actually have some ideas along this line, but we’re probably looking at a 20 year implementation phase before we achieve 99.9% + success in eliminating child hunger, abuse, and education problems. Eutychus: Hmmmm. ::Jots name on list for **Happy Fun Squad** to investigate:: featherlou: We’re going to get you some help. LNO: You **lied** to me? You mean to say you’re not a eunuch? Oh don’t worry, we’re about to fix that. Smeghead: You may indeed prove useful. Let me introduce you to test subject LNO. Ginger: Sorry, Dandelions and ants are nature’s or God’s job. I merely intend to become ruler of all of mankind, not nature or creation. I do have my limitations. Sorry, I can’t help you. ---

**Scylla** , I can’t seem to find Jell-O Pudding Pops in my grocer’s freezer just lately. Is there anything to be done? If Jell-O has stopped making them, might you decree that they should return? Maybe you could tie it in with the children not starving thing. Many thanks. ---
