how else do you think i keep it so extremely pure ? if i let it out it would probably turn cynical and jaded within 10 minutes.

Green? I thought it mean Queen Z was a superhero, you know, like the incredible hulk -- mild mannered janitor by day, superhero Hong Kong Phooey by night (with a little help from a cat).

Okay. Okay. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.

Errr... What is that small box Your Royal Zeeness? WinBH?....

WinBH: Windows for Biological Human. The all new windows port for the ubquitious platform. This new port brings all your favourite windows features to your human acolytes, followers and apostles. Includes both the world famous remote access and control features, and the all-new Microsoft Black-Ops feature "Evil Planning Wizard".

Look, I'm really, really sorry. I'll never do it again. I'll be good. I don't want my higher brain functions replaced with an Excel spreadsheet and be forced to communicate in Powerpoint and Word Macros.

I'll be good, honest. I'll never darken your threads again. I'll do whatever you want. I'll... I'll, ... I'll learn French!

For the sake of you pure, eternal immortal heart please don't do it.

[little secret : i'm not evil. but i do know that even the whispered threat of windows is enough to reduce most normally configured biological humans to a huddled whimpering lump. or, you know, a sobbing, screaming wreck, as you have so aptly demonstrated just now. i keep it around just in case. you never know when an otherwise uncontrollable troll might show up with a flamethrower and several barrels of napalm. it's sort of like the Big Red Button : just knowing that it exists is enough to keep you tossing and turning in a cold sweat at night ; no point in going so far as to push it.]

Ahhh, the catchphrase of most every Evil-Genius-Megalomaniac-With-Nefarious-Plans-For-World-Domination that ever existed or ever will exist.

You look awful pretty in black leather, my sweet. A sort-of Magenta-meets-Æon Flux mashup.

Ah, the joys and tribulations of summer in the northeast of Scotland. Today we are shrouded in fog, even late morning as I am about to get lunch ready, (that's the midday meal to the un-initiated).
Yesterday was fine and hot, the plants suffering with the unexpected heatwave; however the day before was cold, barely reaching double figures...
Here in the countryside the swallows are showing off their offspring, with daily flights around the barn and the house.
All around is a sea of barley just starting to show a reddish tinge to the top of the ears, whilst rose-bay willow-herb comes burns reddish-pink through the gloom and the purples of the thistle attract flies and bees...

Oh the joy....not a car in sight, nor indeed another person, other than my wife- Is there anyone else alive...
