Genghis Khan. Of course, the answer’s always the same: Kill, burn, destroy, rape, pillage, loot, and make a huge pyramid out of the skulls of my enemies for all to see. Unfortunately there’s all these stupid ordinances in the town I live in, so I can’t do it. ---

Richard Burton No, no, not that one. Sir Richard Francis Burton. Explorer, writer, translator of the Book of a Thousand Nights and Night, founder of the Kama Shastra society (to ublish the Kama Sutra and other such texts in English translation) at the height of the Victorian Era. Co-Discoverer of the Sources of the Nile (see the movie “Mountains of the Moon”). All-around interesting guy. Philip Jose Farmer made him the hero of his novel “To Your Scattered Bodies Go”. ---

I don’t know about “do” but when I see a horrible movie I always think “What Would Mike Say?” If you don’t love MST3K you won’t get it. If you do… 🙂 (You can also use Joel for Mike) ---
