Me to the hero foiling my plans: I will stab out your eyes and shove them down your throat

Me to the underpaid cashier: good morning thank you so much have a wonderful day

[whatcha-thinkin]

As an overlord, who do you consider your most trustworthy allies?

my loyalists

my adherents

my partisans

my confidantes

my tankies

my flunkies

my minions

my hangers-on

my disciples

surely my [tag] will never turn against me

I regard all these as tools to my ends and expect they return the sentiment

After many seconds of careful deliberation, I have decided to let The Rage consume me.

Happenstance or did a fellow fandom member write this one? Either way this seems like a possible basis for a short story or fanfiction.

You encounter a retired adventurer(?):

"Oh this old thing? Just a keepsake from my young days, heh...just a souvenir, don't worry about it..."

Title: Evil Overlord, Inc.

Author: Footloose, mushroomtale

Rating: Mature

Summary: Merlin is a recent graduate with a double doctorate in metaphysics and physics. Arthur is a low-level paper pusher with a desk in the sub-basement of MI5. They live in a world with ridiculous laws and restrictions against anyone who might be supernatural in any way, shape, or design.

Merlin has huge debts looming over this head, a few quid left in his bank account, and no job prospects. Arthur is pushing thirty, in a dead-end job with no chances of promotion to fieldwork agent, and is thoroughly bored with his life.

One ill-advised Craigslist advert, five pushy mates, one nosy all-knowing sister, and a hacked email account later, Merlin and Arthur take the world by storm.

(Or, more precisely, they take over the world.)

It was down when I went looking for it a few weeks back, but to my delight it looks like Peter's Evil Overlord List is still online! This left a lasting impression on my psyche (though I'll admit it makes it hard for me to run villains with traditionally thwart-able plans...)
