You know I wrote that just to be nice to you, right? :wink:

Also to keep you from killing my thread.

Ha! Like you were even thinking of me! (Especially since everyone seems to think I’m the anime girl.) You still get to live. I’ll make you watch the show with me. And play with the toys.

The first one. He’s a really cool guy who talks to his fans a lot.

Honestly, you can google RD Rivero and his stuff comes up. But a good site is right here. There’s some more here too

Well, obviously he gets to live! But he’s less likely to incite a revolution, and thus, less likely to be on the list to be killed.

I was totally thinkingn of you. Might I remind you the thread of mine you slew with 'Cats references nobody else got.

I made the mistake of googling Rivero last night and found the pages you refer to. Horribly, I also chanced upon this disturbing imagery, after which I was forced to CLAW OUT MY OWN EYES.

No, he’s more likely to write constant snarky, sarcastic blog posts poking your Sublime Imperial Majesty’s rule with a metaphorical toothpick…really, really annoying but never quite painful enough to actually do anything about it.

44

Whom would I spare?

Define “spare”. I might spare some peoples but keep them as court jesters or pets. I’m cruel and bitchy like that.

I might spare you if you show me you’re a responsible gun owner. Or if you managed to quit smoking or take your grocery cart to the collection carrells in the parking lot regularly. Ask yourself: do you floss? Give yourself that monthly exam? Smile at strangers? I’m watching you…

I’d rather work up a list of who goes first–lots of folk vying for that position.

I see. So, eleanorigby - you plan to combine both the role of Koko and The Mikado* from the operetta?
*The good stuff begins around 3:20

you bet I’ve got a little list. Love that operetta, btw. “He never will be missed!” heh…

Have you ever heard of something called “Hot Mikado”? I’ve just discovered it via YouTube. And well… whomever it was who thought of having Ko-Ko make his entrance on stage in a Dalek suit is hearby added to my Do Not Kill list. Immediately.

Dammit–the video doesn’t show the song! I wanted to hear the Dalek sing. Poop.

Hot Mikado looks like a romp of fun.

All Will Perish!

Michelle Malkin. I’ll spare her because I’d like to see her live as an illegal alien in Mexico. 24/7 web cam of course.

And Nancy Grace. I’d like to frame her as a serial killer who specializes in the murders of rich white girls. I’d appoint Nifong as her prosecutor and see how well she handles her own defense (with a generous $300 budget for expert testimony- approximately half of it in Chick-Fil-A gift certificates). America will decide of course, as in most trials- dial 1-900-NANCY if you think she’s innocent and 1-900-BYENANCY if you think she’s guilty. (I just noticed that 1-900-NANCY doesn’t have enough numbers to actually complete the call— ah well, we’ll let God and our friends at AT&T sort it out.)

51

Sampiro, I thought that feature for 1-900-NANCY was intended. And was much impressed with your scheming.

THEY SOLD THAT. In actual comic book stores. (No, I didn’t buy it. It wasn’t campy enough. I don’t want my 80s nostalgia to be gritty, dammit!)

So, did you actually read any of RD’s stuff? For mind breaking horror, I recommend ‘And Then the Male’. For disturbing mental images you’ll never be able to erase ‘Bengali’s New Art’. If you like TMI, may I suggest ‘Amateur Snovelor’.

You guys are just looking at this whole thing the wrong way. I’m an EVIL Overlord. Why would I give subversives the mercy of death? No matter how prolonged and graphic their demises (fear not, this will all be on YouTube; HD DVDs available for a small additional fee), once they’re dead, you can’t torture 'em anymore. Where’s the fun in that, I ask you?

My enemies, imagined enemies, and people who happened to be standing there when I was in a bad mood, shall all be deprived of their limbs and placed in a VR world, Matrix or Dirty Pair: Sim Hell style, where my fiendish VR Thought Police will ALLOW their silly rebellions, only to crush them. Again and again. Now I think of it, I should also put this on a live streaming video feed.

And back in the real world, all the cute girls. Harem. Definitely.

54

Shigeru Miyamoto, so he can design great games for me and the lesser beings in my regime.

However, as he is a clear and present danger all of his games will be personally screened for the most subtle anti-me propaganda and censored accordingly, and at the first hint of an insurrection or a plucky young lad defeating my dark masses he will be eliminated, we can’t have him being rescued and joining the hero’s ragtag party now can we?

Agreed, but keep the important looking ones in totally different cellblocks, and make sure the guards weren’t former (er, "former) friends of theirs (sorry, that was a major (purposeful on my part, and partially on his part) blunder of the villain in a novel length story I wrote had to include that). Consider the “immediate execution” rule as stated for who I save above for all these people, though Miyamoto will get VASTLY more comfortable conditions that these swines.

(I’ve thoroughly read the Evil Overlord List multiple times, luckily).

55

I have a professional nemesis whos life I would gladly spare. I would find it far better to simply destroy his professional career and send him, crushed and bitter, to his wife and children.

As for people who are outside my circle of family or acqubatances, I might allow one random person from the list to plead for mercy. But none of this house arrest crap. The most I’ll promise is a dungeon.

56

They can all live; I like a challenge.

[QUOTE=jayjay]
Y’all need a remedial dictatoring course. They’re serfs, not peasants. “Peasant” gives them an uplifting illusion of freedom and self-worth. You can’t have that. “Serf” means they belong to you and are on the level of those little prong-thingies you stick in the ends of a corncob to keep your hands from getting all buttery.
[/QUOTE]

Yer right:

“Serf! Get your arse over here before I stick you with a trident and roast you over coals! Oh the hell with it, I spork you anyway! And keep your damned buttery goodness of my friggin’ corn!”

And as Evil Overlord, I won’t have to find a safehouse or nuthin’, just because I killed a guy. . . with a trident.
