A brave little theory, and actually quite coherent for a system of five or seven dimensions -- if only we lived in one.
Academician Prokhor Zakharov, "Now We Are Alone"
"When You're Evil"
by Voltaire

and creator of the Chi-Chian animated series.)

When the Devil is too busy
And Death's a bit too much
They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
To the Gentlemen I'm Miss Fortune
To the Ladies I'm Sir Prize
But call me by any name
Any way it's all the same
I'm the fly in your soup
I'm the pebble in your shoe
I'm the pea beneath your bed
I'm a bump on every head
I'm the peel on which you slip
I'm a pin in every hip
I'm the thorn in your side
Makes you wriggle and writhe
And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
While there's children to make sad
While there's candy to be had
while there's pockets left to pick
While there's grannies to trip down the stairs
I'll be there, I'll be waiting round the corner
It's a game. I'm glad I'm in it
'Cause there's one born every minute
I pledge my allegiance, to all things dark
And I promise on my damned soul
To do as I am told, Lord Beelzebub
Has never seen a soldier quite like me
Not only does his job, but does it happily.
I'm the fear that keeps you awake
I'm the shadows on the wall
I'm the monsters they become
I'm the nightmare in your skull
I'm a dagger in your back
An extra turn on the rack
I'm the quivering of your heart
A stabbing pain, a sudden start.
And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
It gets so lonely being evil
What I'd do to see a smile
Even for a little while
And no one loves you when you're evil. . . (Pause)
. . . I'm lying though my teeth!
Your tears are all the company I need

BC... that was just wrong! Which of course means that I downloaded it immeadiately!
ET... I LOVE Voltaire! Everyone who gets the chance should check out his CD of Trek themed songs, entitled "Banned on Vulcan!"
Songs include:
Worf's Rap
The Sexy Data Tango
Screw the Ocampa (to the tune of "The Sloop John B.)
and the best on the album...
The Good Ship Make Sh*t Up!
The Chorus:
Bounce a graviton particle beam
Off the main deflector dish
That's the way we do things
Cause we're making sh*t up as we wish
The Klingons and the Romulans
Pose no threat to us!
Cause if we find we're in a bind
We just make some sh*t up!
Cool! I know what's getting played at midnight at my Crescent City Con room party this August...

Where is Crescent City? How far from Philly?
I'm always up for a new con...
New Orleans, first full weekend of August. I think this is CCC 19 or 20, and also the last one. No great loss, outside of it being the last of the 3 day general sci-fi cons in New Orleans. (Dangit! Now how am I going to make my quote of demo points?)Originally Posted by Hugh Casey
