2. In a concise statement of 25 words or less, tell us what the fundamental problem is with the world today.

I may joke about a lot of things, but one of the things I'm serious about is conquering the world. That and destroying Sandra Sully. Or at least use a mind control device on her and then use her to control her army of robots I know she has for my own purposes.

2. In a concise statement of 25 words or less, tell us what the fundamental problem is with the world today.

1. When you say that you are going to take over the world is it only halfway in jest?
Why jest about something so easily won?

2. In a concise statement of 25 words or less, tell us what the fundamental problem is with the world today.
People tend to focus on far too trivial things. They focus on life, and health. I beleive they should be focusing on me, and what they can do for me.

e)is not even worth thinking about

4. The best form of government is:
e) Me

5. Will your rule start off with cold, brute force or will you seduce the masses with promises of a better future with you?
I will, of course use seduction for everything. But of course, most who have been seduced will need to be subdued with brute (sexy) force.

Maria is best used to my advantage. Her free spirited ways fit rather nicely with my plans. Once I have her in control, all will be well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The hottest thing this side of Epworth, Iowa.

100 points each to lil997, Moonshade, and Jubilee.

and an extra 10 each because I've managed to shake off most of my foul Monday mood.

1. When you say that you are going to take over the world is it only halfway in jest?
Yes. I would have done so years ago but, I got lazy and drank too much beer instead.

2. In a concise statement of 25 words or less, tell us what the fundamental problem is with the world today.
The fundamental problem with the world today is the short attention span of 21st Century humans. You can't solve the world's problems today and play a round of golf tomorrow.

3. Stalin
a) A right bastard

4. The best form of government is:

a) Democracy[impossible]
b) Constitutional Monarchy[an oxymoron]
c) The Republic[It's given us Bush,Frist,Daschle,Hastert, and Pelosi...I think not]
d) Government sucks! Anarchy rules![At one time maybe but, too many AK-47s nowadays]

So, my answer is: e) Me[Why not?]

5. Will your rule start off with cold, brute force or will you seduce the masses with promises of a better future with you?
I've already seduced my share but, I like the sound of the latter better than the former. Not into brute force.

6. How do you solve a problem like Maria?
??? I know a lot of Marias. My favorite is my neighbor who hangs her underwear on my side of the property and her wet rugs on old man King's side.


7. Technology is:
a) my friend

Welcome to the game MaxQ.

100 points for answering the questionnaire.
100 bonus points for the answer to #1.

*grabs the 420 points allocated to lila997, Moonshade and Max Q and runs off with them*

Fate knows THEY ain't doing anything with 'em.

Fate strips the Lady of 1000 points...then strips the Lady just for the hell of it.

In addition to the starting points the players lila997, Moonshade, and MaxQ retain, the Lady's stripped points will distributed amongst you with Moonshade getting the extra point. Why Moonshade? I feel sorry for her spelling inability.

See what happens when you're greedy? Only pussies need to steal other people's points.

Queen Sara's tip for the hour: Hestian virgins are overated, bring on a corrupted, dancing lila, that'd be fun to see.
