Why I want to be emperor of the world.

But I don't want to be a pastafarian. Besides, if you were doing your job properly, you'd be way too busy to get laid.

 

Yes, let's all be "pastafarians" and smoke noodles and I'll vote for you if "you'll make changes", different from the changes that are currently being made.

 

You could start as Emperor of the US and work up.

I'm throwing $50 into the pot. Let's all chip in, get Daniel a hooker for the night, because its pretty obvious he needs to get laid

Badly

Now

 

Ok, Daniel, I appoint you Emperor of the World. Get to work. :madgrin:

 

I can see it now. The whole world united in peace and pastafarianism. Everyone worshiping the Flying Noodle. But then, religious leaders start to quible. Is the Noodle Monster spaghetti or angle hair pasta? Pretty soon there is a big split in the Church Of The Divine Noodle. Everyone takes one side or the other. Border wars start up as each side wants to occupy the Place Of Holy Pasta (an Italian restaurant in West Snowshoe, Min.). Armies amass. Then someone pushes the button, and nukes start to fly in the Name Of The Holy Noodle. World population is reduced fifty percent. As radiation levels return to normal, a New World Order arises. Pasta is banned, and pastafarianism goes underground. Monks from the Church of Holy Italian Pasta (known as the CHIPMonks) keep the faith alive as the world plunges into a new dark age.

And Daniel still can't get laid.

 

Is that considered to be a good thing or a bad thing? :madgrin:

 

Good. Definitely. But in this scenario, it won't be the half that we would like to see gone (you know, those people that are still alive only because it is illegal to kill them). All the "good" people will be selectively eliminated, leaving only us and the idiots who can't make a good bagel or fix a broken inverter. And we'll have to go undeground to get a good ravioli. What a world to comtemplate! And it will all be Daniel's fault! And if not, we can always blame him anyway.

 

You can't vote for Emperor, so he/she would have to be appointed or be born into the position. I've got just as much authority as anyone else when it comes to appointing the Emperor of the World. :madgrin:

 

And that is the really important part. :madgrin:

 

I have a somewhat different fantasy than being in charge of the World.

If the means and place were available, I'd go to another habitable world with those of a similar mindset.

The interesting thing is what might happen a century later. I'd expect Earth to be suffering some WMD terrorism (unless they left to found Planet Taliban) and sustainability issues.....I'd expect there would be AGW skeptics even with a 5F degree rise in temperature.

 

As the fable goes -- Aren't the emperor's new clothes terrific?

 

Daniel,

I do not understand why you'd want to be one of these:

Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.

 

Number one: Danny go take your medication

Number two: You know what has happened to most emperors over the years?????

Number three: There are easier ways to get laid....I'll add $50 to the get Danny laid fund!

 

Nope, no idea.

But I think the idea was for several of us to chip in, and Jayman was just trying to get the ball rolling, so to speak. Draw up your specifications, obtain three quotes, and get back to us.

 

I have no clue either... sooooo... how much do you have to pay Bra...

Not that I'm thinking about contributing to your poonanie fund, just curious as to what a wannabee emperor gets charged for...

And do you have to keep one hand in your vest... I always wondered about that.
