Journal Ethelred Unraed's Journal: Setting smaller goals, or: Ethelred in a random mood 25

Journal by Ethelred Unraed
Perhaps it's time for me to take this world domination thing a bit slower. You know, in smaller steps. Kind of like working towards a worldwide ban on landmines by having the US Navy stop using them.

So we (using the royal "we" here) have decided to begin by crushing all opposition on Slashdot and bending it to my will. (Previous attempts to do the same to BoE have thus far not been successful.)

And we all know the best way to do that is to divide and conquer. (Kinda hard to divide BoE, which is probably why I couldn't conquer her.) So I say we choose teams. Like sandlot football. Yeah.

I pick...SMOOCHY!

UPDATE
Just to muddy the waters a little, I pick Em! Oh, and the Wonder Twins Blinder and Sol, too. (Blinder takes the form of pocket lint, it would seem.)

  • i'll be the last one picked... it'll be me and a some pocket lint left... and you and em (who i am sure is the other team's captain... yes?) will have to be like "well, the pocket lint is really an asset, i think we'll take 'em" and then you, eth, will be left holding the short straw

    • You bring up an interesting point. Who gets picked last in a large grouping of geeks, nerds, and losers who were all picked last? Or is it even possible to be picked last amongst the picked-lasters?

      • About ten years ago I went to see the Grateful Dead outside Charlotte, NC. We then spent the weekend at the Lazy Daze campground with a few thousand deadheads. Thousands and thousands of society’s outcasts, and I managed to be the one glaring outcast among them. Perhaps the heavy suit-cut leather jacket and the DEA baseball cap had something to do with it (those of you who participated in the FotoKon may recall that I don’t exactly have a crewcut). Or perhaps not: when I wore the hat, people wou
    • Hello?!

      This ain't no sissy basketball game. And we ain't no bunch of neanderthal junior high school students who want to inch closer to the 'popular people'.

      Er, well we are. But the popular people are different. And your qualities are just a wee little bit more in demand around here...

      So put away your pocket lint and stand tall. Don't let painful memories of an obviously flawed & unfair system mar your self-confidence today. You are you. And what you are, is pretty damn cool. And if you don't kno
    • Well, that pocket lint has some great moves and a real bit of hustle out there on the field.

      Then again, you'd look hawtt in a cheerleader's costume. So all right then, welcome to the team.

      And bring your girlfriend. Her village-destroying talents could come in handy.

      Cheers,

      Ethelred

  • I'm there for you, Eth baby!
  • when you get to picking people for the armed militant wing of the People's Front of Judea. I would probably fit in well there.

    I'm forming the Independant team! We'll have 3 of our own group leaders who agree on the same stuff but are so power hungry that we all fight when it's time to pick the real leader!

    Also, we'll have random gatherings on street corners filled with people who don't know what their purpose, plan of action, or resolution are!

    Who's with me?
  • I would just like to take this opportunity to announce my rogue rebel status. I work in solitary and mysterious ways.

    No, this has nothing to do with nobody picking me for their team. The Klan de Ethel the Red will be defeated.
  • I vote for Sealand [wikipedia.org]. They have been taken over before, and they have a good net connection.
  • I'm a sword-wielding, death-dealing maniac with a penchant for buggery.

    PUT ME IN COACH.
    • Whoa. You're my kind of guy.

      I mean, not that kind of my kind of guy.

      OK, you get to be a first-stringer on my Death and Destruction Squad. Start off with the nuns and baby seals.

      Cheers,

      Ethelred

  • *jumps up and down, frantically waving his hands, hitting everyone nearby* Memememememememememe! Pick memememememememe! Ple-ease! Someone! Anyone!
  • Pick ME! Pick ME!

    I bring an uncanny ability to drive people insane... Yeah... That's it...

    If nothing else, I'm good for making a distraction. ;)
