Hahaha! Search for something called Once More With Feeling on youtube. It's an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but the entire episode is about why they're all suddenly singing and dancing.

Wow, I think I remember that episode...
Also on behalf of all members of cc (mainly me), I would like to award you with this trophy (imaginary) symbolizing your newly-founded cc addiction (as evidence from your frequent posts, and lack of homework being completed hehe :p), and this $20 gift card to Tim Hortons. You are now one of us, enjoy...muahahahahaha

Get rid of RedBull and all those other 3 and 12 hour energy drinks. It's not natural to be so energetic and awake for so long, who knows what kind of toll it is taking on your brain and neurons, but who needs those anyways. Oh and get rid of MSG, and throw it back into pit of hell from which it came.

Or more, it's you don't know who Dr. Horrible is.
As in "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog."

As in the wonderfully talented and amazing Joss Whedon. He wrote Buffy, Firefly, Dr Horrible, Dollhouse, the Avengers, a remake of Much Ado About Nothing, and I love him. A lot.

Yep, that one. But I really watched it cause Felicia Day, Nathan Fillion, and Neil Patrick Harris were in it.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that I would simply take power only to relinquish it.

My proposed hegira to other worlds would likely be a one man exodus. I would likely load up my best friends and family members to explore the galaxy with me, leaving this rock behind.

Before leaving I would play the part of Solon the law-giver, giving the world the best advice I could and instituting laws in a certain area of a world that have been proven to result in a state of ordered liberty. Self-reliance that springs from being morally grounded, independent and thought, and disciplined in action would be my hopeful contribution to the people I have served.

Just like that I would leave, allowing them to live up to what I had attempted to teach them. Some would. Some wouldn't. The world would continue to turn, but my legacy would be one I could live with, and for my part I could pursue my dream of exploring the Heavens.

So, in other words, you would pull a Dr. Doolittle.

Never thought of it that way. I can't imagine that a giant moth would be a pleasant ride though.

For your almost-mortal wound, I apologize, M'Lady. Just because I don't like it, doesn't mean you can't. For the moment, we are still in a free (ish) country, so like who and what ya like. For instance, I don't care much about Star Wars or Star Trek and said as much in the related thread. I also don't like Lord of the Rings, and hate all things Tolkien...but I know better than to have put that in the LOTR thread. (grin) Firing up all of the fanboyz to cuss me out in Elvish isn't exactly one of my life's wishes. They can have LOTR, and I'll stick to the stuff that goes vroom.

For example, my current love affair with the exquisite Pagani Huayra.

Do. Want. Now.

Oh yes, I will like all things Joss Whedon, scifi, and whatever else I please. I don't need anyone's approval. :D

I would require an IQ test before anyone could access the internet.


That may not sound too benevolent...but think about it for a minute... You'll agree with me.

eeee. I get the first ride.

And if you go tell them you dislike LOTR, in that thread, I'll jump in there too and say the samething. Personally, can't even get into it. Now Narnia, on the other hand ....

I have found another cabinet member. So that means, Jules, Ritter and Eilzabeth are all members of my Secret Cabinet of Greatness. Hmm, thinking of also adding in Twofeet for her chocolates, and her overall greatness.

If I were a benevolent dictator of the world? I already am. I'm just biding my time. And reveal my plans to the world on the internet? Never!! I've seen too many evil overlords reveal their evil plans to their non-evil counterparts, and promptly following that they get overthrown.

(Side note: NukePooch that is a incredibly awesome car. Awesome seems too lame a term for it, actually)

Well, I disagree. There would only be two people allowed on the internet. How boring is that?

I would abolish taxes totally. I don't care what the consequences are, they would cease to exist
