Just what it sounds like. My quest to conquer the global media and take over the world. Maybe I can get my library fines cancelled…what can I say? It’s a last-ditch effort.

NOW what’ll I do for henchmen livery???

Posted on by

VillainOne of my favorite websites, VillainSupply.com has apparently come under new management and taken the low road. Instead of offering sharks with frickin’ laser beams attached to their heads, secret island lairs, and the aforementioned henchmen livery, as they did back in my day, they offer:

Search Engine Optimization, Dating Chat, Dating Tips, Diethylpropion, Dirty Jokes, Flirt Chat, Live Chat, Local Chat, Lorcet, Lortab, Muscle Relaxers, Pharmacy Affiliate Programs, Other Pharmacy Affiliate Programs, Teen Dating, Tenuate, Wellbutrin SR, Affiliate Marketing, Affiliate Network Marketing, Astrology, chat, and Dating Online.

All of which strike terror into my heart. Anyone who will deal with  Network Marketing is obviously the bastard son of Beelzebub. Diet pills, search engine optimization, and sex chats. Daddy would be so proud. But it’s not the way it used to be. *sniff*

And look at The Way We Were:

Villain Supply
“www.villainsupply.com presents a complete inventory of ready-to-build kits that will provide you or your cabal with long-term, defensible secret housing with a minimum of fuss. For preexisting bases and lairs, visit http://www.evilrealtor.com.”

Famous dead celebrities celebrating birthdays today include Charlotte Bronte, poet Phyllis McGinley, and Canada’s own immortal Madame Benoit, so the dress code is accountant, repressed petticoat feminist, emo librarian, or crazy Quebecois chef. Chacun à son gout!

Canada Day Eh

Posted on by

As you can tell from scrolling down, instead of honouring International Women’s Day yesterday, I simply declared it Canada Day, and damn those pigheaded people who insist on celebrating it in the summer. Whatevah. I did have an International Women’s Day post earlier in the week…

So anyway, since I officially missed International Women’s Day, I’ll use the banner here to celebrate International Women Serial Killer’s Day. Lordy, I’m cranky lately!

 

 

Serial Killers

 

 

Lockout!

Good god, I’ve been banned!

I can hardly pretend it’s the first time in my life I’ve been banned; it’s the second. The first time was when Smonie banned me from her Only Orlando Bloom perving forum. I wasn’t a visitor there, since I think Orlando’s a nice, polite, decorative hunk of himbo and nothing more, and I only found out about the banning when someone told me there was a big ol’ hate on for me over there. Naturally, I went to look; when someone tells you that you’ve been involved in a horrible trainwreck and you haven’t actually noticed, you go check it out, right? So that’s when I got the message saying I’d been banned. Subsequently, every person except Smonie who posted in that thread was also banned. Was it Machiavelli who first suggested killing off the witnesses? In any case, mission accomplished there. Mandate fulfilled and eloquently manifested.

Idiocy

In any case, I have been banned again. Now, I may well have gone to this forum. It’s possible. It would have been five or more years ago, but it is possible. It’s definitely my kind of thing: Fortean phenomenology is right up my crooked lane.

Critical Information

You have been banned from this forum

Please contact the webmaster or forum administrator for more information

message_die() was called multiple times. This isn’t supposed to happen. Was message_die() used in page_tail.php?

Die??? That’s a little strong, don’t you think? Given my 16-year history on the Web, I think being banned by Smonie and the Fortean Times Online Forum isn’t too bad. They should really get in touch! They have so much in common.

Like their meds.

Operation Global Media Domination: Stat Counter Breakdown

Posted on by

Screaming Babyhead Scientist

 

TIAAccording to the stat counter, I had 90 hits from Section A and 100 hits from section B last year. It’s too bad I have no idea what Section A and Section B are, although I do know what Section 3 is, and it’s also too bad that this blog wasn’t actually in existence last year, but I’m counting the hits anyway. For 2004, hits are A 60/B 80; for 2003, it’s 15/25. So I’m just gonna add them and say that today I got 370.

Makes total sense, right?

I think the Claymates must be behind it. Thanks, you crazy bitches!
