So say I’m your new Overlord (evil or not, depending on how you look at it) and I get to dispense titles to you commoners as I see fit. Who’d like to come and kneel before me, petitioning for titlehood?

Or you can sum this thread up into “What would you like your title to be in the New Order?”  
Mine, if I wasn’t already your Overlord, would be as Secretary of Alice. All things Mr. Cooper would have to go through ( \< swoon \> ) me.

Duke of Cheese. I love cheese. Most varieties, I can eat large blocks of at a sitting. (Except Swiss and American. They’re only good alone in small chunks.)

I’d settle for having “Charter Member” back under my username.  
Failing that, I’d like to be the Undersecretary of Underpants.

I don’t know if I’d trust anyone who doesn’t like LARGE amounts of Swiss, but I guess I’ll give it a go if you promise to subsidize a division of Gorgonzola.

You expect me to share? Hmmm. I’ll think it over if you can offer me a better Alice title. Hopefully one that’ll get me laid. 🙂

I can’t help with the Charter Member thingie, but I’d love for you to be Undersecretary of Underpants. That is, if I can have a pair of those tie-dyed long johns in return.

Bs huh? Let’s see what B you can do for me… I think if you can hook me up with some Billion Dollar Baby memorabilia and a hot air balloon, I’ll grant your wish. But ya better hurry. I might have a better deal on the back burner here.

I definitely will need a Shah of Breakfast Foods, but that person already should be getting a lot of ass. I don’t want anyone distracted from their duties. Besides, how well can you make praline pecan malted waffles?

Which kind? Applicants must not waste my time by being ambiguous.

Can you special, for your master, in that which features skinny guys with long black hair circa the 70s? If so, email me and we’ll talk bonuses.

You sire, shall be Ministry Commander of the Kite Corp. Now, please dazzle me with one of your creations. Preferably with a monkey and butterfly as an insignia.

Oooh, pretty! Your Overlord improves of her lack-of-fit and you now shall be bequeathed. Please bow and no fiddling with my buttons! 🆒

People’s Commissar of Alice? Grand High Exalted Panjandrum of Alice?

For this request, I’ll direct you to the Undersecretary of Underpants and I’m sure he’ll take it under advisement.

That has a very melodious lilt to it. Could I also interest you in a side of Snottiness in Waiting? We need someone to take care of the miscreants who always make the mess in aisle 7.

What can I say, I _am_ new to this. Alright, you can be baby Overlord of most everything else as long as I’m still Overlord of Titles. Along with whatever anyone comes up for me that pays homage to my master Cooper. 😃

Although, Grand High Exalted Panjandrum makes me feel like I have rhthym. Good job baby O!  
Anyone else worthy?

Of course. In this world of political correctness, I believe the art of snotiness has fallen by the way. Tis a shame, really.
