A pulp sci-fi cliché or two for you…..

While culling my bookmarks, I ran across this:Peter’s Evil Overlord List. Thought I would share a sampling of some gems of wisdom found therein. (I took the liberty to add the Googled images….)

• My force field generators will be located inside the force field they generate.

• My vats of hazardous chemicals will be covered when not in use. Also, I will not construct walkways above them.

• The gun turrets on my fortress will not rotate enough so that they may direct fire inward or at each other.

• I will not send out battalions composed wholly of robots or skeletons against heroes who have qualms about killing living beings.

• My dungeon will have its own qualified medical staff complete with bodyguards. That way if a prisoner becomes sick and his cellmate tells the guard it’s an emergency, the guard will fetch a trauma team instead of opening up the cell for a look.

• If my mad scientist tells me that my superweapon is almost finished, but requires more testing, I will wait for him to complete the testing. No one ever conquered the world by using a beta-version.

• When it is prophesized that “no man will defeat me”, I will keep in mind the growing presence and influence of non-traditional gender roles in the world today.

• I will never attend an auction of an “ultimate weapon”. If the weapon were really that good, the auctioneer would already be Evil Overlord.

• I will always dress in bright, cheery colors… Mostly soft pastels. Wearing nothing but black is too depressing, while wearing all white is too boring.

• My Legions of Terror will have uniforms designed by a talented fashion designer, and will not be a cheap knockoff of the Nazi SS uniform, the roman foot-soldier uniform, or the clothing of the savage Mongol horde. All such groups were eventually defeated, and I want my troopers to have a more positive outlook about themselves.

• If I am fighting with the hero atop a moving platform, have disarmed him, and am about to finish him off and he glances behind me and drops flat, I too will drop flat instead of quizzically turning around to find out what he saw.

Disclaimer - In no way, shape, or form do I endorse the aspiration to becoming an Evil Overlord

Graffiti

Clever graffiti….not that I endorse defacing public property 

….now for something completely different……..

Coming to Stuff White People Like a bit late in the game- a satirical blog about the affluent, educated, young, and white. So far, #75, #62, and #93 are my favorites. Especially #93. I used to be young, but I have never been affluent. As far as me being educated, that is way seriously up for debate. I also used to be #93 until I got convicted, not in a convicted by the RIAA kind of way, but by my conscience. Well, perhaps I am more an ‘expert/elite level white person’ now. You would have to read #93 to know what I am talking about. As a warning-a caveat, a few of the comments that follow the articles can be a bit crude at times.

Freedom!

Found this somewhere deep in the bowels of Letters from Kamp Krusty.
At of all the faux ‘motivational posters’ I have run across, this is one of my favorites. Too, you can make your own here.

This Is Sparta!!

We has three cats in our house.

Too Deep

Pilfered from barwal1’s StumbleUpon blog

“Duty Calls”

I could so easily ‘become’ this guy. Too, I post this while wearing my pajamas and drinking coffee. Sometimes I am such a cliché.

If you go to xkcd to see the original, the ‘mouse over’ dialog reads “What do you want me to do? LEAVE? Then they’ll keep being wrong!” Also, a tip of the hat to City of God where I found a post of this cartoon. xkcd is geeky, funny, and sometimes just wonderfully strange.

Now, for something completely different…………

With all deference to Yakov Smirnoff…and Monty Python

How not to do apologetics…….

By “Germans”, we mean those who have sincere questions about our hope.
By “crush with your mind” we mean how not to do apologetics……
By “U.S. Dept. of Psy Ops”, we mean…..well…..ah…….um…….

Anyway……the image just struck me as funny for some reason.

1 Peter 3:15
but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,
