There’s A New Sheriff In Town
Well, well, well.
Skippy and his wife are in the process of moving, and as of now, are no longer online for about a week or so.
In his infinite wisdom, Skippy has given me control of the website in his absence.
It is difficult to find the words to express how I feel about accepting this weighty responsibility of providing humorous material, for thousands of people to enjoy, while they screw around on the internet at work. But, I think Alexander Haig said it best, after the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan, when he said, “I’m in charge.”
Or maybe it was Star Scream from the Transformers during one of the many times he thought Megatron was dead. I’m not really sure.
The point is, that I now wield the cursor of doom, and all submissions must come through me for approval and editing.
For the next week I am your new god. Contributors will sing my praises, as I lift them up and publish their works for the whole world to see. Or… they will tremble in fear as I crush their dreams of blogging for a humorous military/gaming/geeky stuff website.
With me in charge, we shall experience what is best in life. To crush our enemies. To see them driven before us. And to hear the lamentations of their women.
All will kneel before Zod Michiel.
Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!
And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming with a short piece from our own Sgt. Brick.

I feel we need a sacrifice for our new god. Maybe a goat or a virgin or something. Any suggestions??

Maybe a virgin goat? or a were-virgin? Yeah, sacrifice a were-virgin.

As a curious aside, do you realize that “were-virgin” means “man-virgin?” (and yes, I understand the context you’re using it in; I just think the literal definition is an interesting little tidbit).
So, I guess that means Andy Stitzer is being offered up to Michiel, huh? If I were in his shoes, I’d hold out for a regular virgin. If you can find one, that is.

Ah shit I’m not going to get sacrificed am I?

Not to mention that Star Scream always seemed to mess things up really bad every time the Decpticons thought Megatron was dead.

I for one will NOT be kowtowing to the despotic reign of the false king Michiel: with an eye to the future (and the sure return of His Gracious Skippyness), I plan to make no moves that, in the long run, will endanger my security.
I’ll be in the basement, formenting a rebellion against the usurper Michiel.

What is this insolence!?! Has the benevolence of His Majesty, Michiel the First and Greatest of His Name, been extended so far that you dare to besmirch his rightful place as God-Emperor of this site? Or…
Wait…
Could it be that his authority does not extend to the comments section? Does his tyranny only extend over the articles themselves? Can he only claim to rule with an iron fist, when in fact he can only bend but one finger?
Then viva le revolucion! He can take our posts, but he can never take our FREEEEEEEDOOOOOOM (to make snide comments)

You will never defeat our army of Were-virgins (patent pending). Your rebellion will be crushed under the iron fist of our new (but temporary)lord and master of Skpppyslist.

Yeah follow or I’ll bite you… I’ve really got to stop referring to myself as a were-virgin

From the seed of the Greater Michiel the Young Michiel God King was brought forth to ascended the throne of Skippydom. Though his reign be short, the might of his power will lift us to greatness matched by none. The missing King Skippy will be proud on his return. Long live King Michiel!

Nope, I’m stickin’ with the revolution, if only in hope of currying favor with The True King of the Blogoverse, His Most Excellent Skippyness!
Lemmee see now, first things first: we need a cool symbol, like the French revolution’s freedom cap, or at least a t-shirt. (I’m thinkin’ the t-shirt should have something like a picture of Michiel, tinfoil crown askew, tangled in a squid’s arms….)

You Don’t seem to understand the situation. King Skippy like King Richard has appointed Prince Michiel Like Prince John to act on his behalf while while he is away from his kingdom on crusade. Like then, we are loyal to the true King but serve the appointed king. So lady Paula, before the revolution you must first go live in the forest with thieves and do battle with the sheriff.

Yeah, but remember how ticked off Richard was when he finally made it home… and what about that time Richard was held hostage by his enemies on his way home from the Crusades?!? ALRIGHT, WHERE *IS* SKIPPY, ANYWAY? Sure, Michiel the usurper SAYS King Skippy ‘is moving’…. I for one wanna check Michiel’s basement for a hidden dungeon….
Free Skippy, our rightful king!

The young King Michiel has not yet raised taxes or stolen from his subjects. He has not yet made war on the serfs. At this point, we must wait to see if Michiel plans a coup. Oh, Checked Skippy’s flooded basement and he was not there and his castle was empty. Skippy and his Queen have gone. Michiel’s castle has no basement but I did check the patio and skippy was not there. did find the Great Hound Karma and the Nasty Feline Butters but sign of Skippy. The revolt has no reason, We must wait.

So, the basic Revolutionary Plan:
1. design t-shirts
2. lay in supplies (lots of beer)
3. munchies, we gotta have munchies. Is it kosher to do a potluck? Don’t everybody bring potato salad, SOMEBODY has to bring the deviled eggs! (Maybe I’d better check and see what Marx and Lenin have to say about potluck…..)
4. weaponry. I’d say this revolution just cries out for a trebuchet, don’t you agree?
5. ammo for the trebuchet — I’m thinkin’ we swipe a bunch of those five- or ten-gallon plastic water bottles: no WAY this revolution is wastin’ beer!

I would like to offer the revolution my full support by rallying together some beautiful ladies to offer more nudity, before you know it there will be no more were-virgins amoung hem to offer, though I warn you we will require your choice of tequilla rum or vodka

Maybe we should ask Good King Michiel his opinion on Beer and nudity. He may declare that all his subjects be given a beer ration and that nudity should be the fashion in Skippydom. Revolution may not be needed and all will be well until King Skippy returns.

This is a revolution! The evil usurper Michiel’s opinion’s on beer and nudity are irrelevant — and if he doesn’t ask REAL NICE, we aren’t even gonna let him hang out with us. Sorry, but that’s just the way is with a revolution: SOMEBODY’s feelings just don’t matter.

Okay people, let’s get things straight: the revolution will have massive amounts of beer, munchies, a trebuchet, nudity and assorted cavortings at the Super-Secret Official Revolutionary Meeting Place and Campgrounds. (Don’t worry, we’ll make sure everybody gets a map, and we’ll put out lots of directional signs by the road.)
I’m thinking we’ll skip the Official Revolutionary T-Shirts: after all, nekkid people don’t really NEED t-shirts, do they?!? (Plus the money we save on the shirts we can spend on more booze.)

Spears? huh. Twice as long as a man you say, that would be rather hard to throw. But still spears? I think that the usurpers will probably use guns and I doubt that they’re against poisoning the water supply. Good luck though I’ll just stand on the sidelines and laugh.

To The High and Mighty Lord of The List, His Most Gracious Skippyness:
It has been an honor to fight for the restoration of your kingdom, against the false reign of the Usurper Michiel. Sorry we don’t have any pictures of the revolution; I’m not exactly sure what happened to the Official Revolutionary Camera, but it MIGHT have gotten left in the trebuchet just before a launching….
