In case anyone was wondering

I am nobody's minion (the pay is lousy and the life expectancy ditto), nor am I part of a posse (the local police department doesn't need my creaky help). I have friends and family, and a large number of acquaintances and people-I-talk-to and neighbors and second cousins. All that good stuff.

Comments

Amen. That was a particularly offensive comment.

Although I am occasionally part of a minyan.

Actually, I have, somewhere, a button which labels me as the Consort of Ultimate Evil. Ultimate Evil, of course being Jordin. (It's a long story and not a pretty one either, but we got the last laugh.)

Actually, I was wondering if I could get a part-time job as a minion. Just to fill in the time. Would database and HTML expertise help?

The second statement surprises me, but I have not updated my knowledge of minyans since "I'm Looking for Kadak."

I am not a minion, but I do have HenchBeing status, and an official badge declaring me a HenchBeing of the Evil Transsexual Overlords for a Better Tomorrow.

Does that count for anything?

My feeling about the whole thing is analogous to getting up and finding the cat has left half a dead bird scattered about the living room and thrown up on my shoes.

Zorinth, however, is hoping that now I have minions and a posse I'll become a proper evil overlord and keeps encouraging me to practice my "bwa ha ha" laugh.

[redbird]

Yes, but Zorinth is an evil mage; it goes with the territory. (Does "evil mage's aunt" get me any kind of weird points?)

Jo, I'd wear my swords for you. But not as a minion, just as a bodyguard.

I think you should write about this in your journal.

So does this mean you'll form the Minyan Minions? :-)

[stealthpup.livejournal.com]

Well, I dunno; an acquaintance of mine gloried in being labelled a Minion of the AntiChrist by some nutter on USENET, and I stirred the pot be being her Hanger-On.

I'm afraid to ask what inspired this entry.

If I ever form a posse, redbird, you're on the list of folks I'd ask. Really. :-} Wordslingers and phraseshooters all, straight from the quip, wielding Red Pencils of Ultimate Correctness. Take *that*, Bad Grammar Boy!

As for being a "minion," I agree -- that was rather condescending and insulting. I have no need of minions, nor would I want to be one.

I seem to have left you (and a few other people) out of the relevant friends group; reload my journal, or your friends page, for more information.

Oh my. Now I see what the brouhaha's about. I will sit on my hands.
