Subject: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 27 Feb 05 - 10:26 PM Not really. But every time I see the "I want to be a director" thread title I think it says "dictator". So maybe when I see this thread title I'll think it says "director" and everything will balance out. Harmony will be restored. Or maybe not. And maybe someone will call me a dumbass for starting this stoopid copycat thread. That'd be nice. Nobody's called me a dumbass for weeks. Come on, call me a dumbass. Make my day. My shitlist is down to two names and they need some company. |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: wysiwyg Date: 27 Feb 05 - 10:31 PM OK, I'll be glad to: DUMBASS! Saw the thread title, thought "What dumbass did that?" And there ya go. :~) ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: Peace Date: 27 Feb 05 - 10:32 PM Why do you want to be called a drumbass? What IS a drumbass? However, if yer gonna be a dictator, your wish is my command: DRUMBASS! |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: John O'L Date: 27 Feb 05 - 10:33 PM Benevolent dictator or benevolent dumbass? |

Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: Little Hawk Date: 27 Feb 05 - 10:34 PM Hey! DUMBASS!!! Yeah, you! Feel better now? |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: Peace Date: 27 Feb 05 - 10:35 PM Oh, DUM bass--like not-too-bright fish. Misspelled, too. DUM BASS! |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: CarolC Date: 27 Feb 05 - 10:46 PM Yeah, yeah. Don't we all. But what we really want to know is who are the last two people on your shitlist, and who's on top? |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 27 Feb 05 - 11:11 PM Sorry, Carol, but there's a nondisclosure clause in my shitlist maintenance licensing agreement. It's in the fine print. It's probably in yours too, assuming that you're running SList 5.0 or later. But if you're concerned that you may be one of the two remaining people on the list, don't worry. I've totally forgiven you for sending the incriminating photo to Tweed. |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: John O'L Date: 27 Feb 05 - 11:15 PM Just like a dumbass dictator |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: Amos Date: 27 Feb 05 - 11:46 PM ANyone coming out and asserting they want to be a dictator is too dumb to be a dictator, unless he already has his hands on national power, like our E. Dumbya Imperialiis. Ya don't broadcast it fer cryin' out loud!! That qualifies you to fail at dogcatcher, never mind Dictator! A |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: CarolC Date: 27 Feb 05 - 11:57 PM But if you're concerned that you may be one of the two remaining people on the list, don't worry. I've totally forgiven you for sending the incriminating photo to Tweed. Ah well. One can dream anyway... |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 27 Feb 05 - 11:58 PM Notice the slick manner in which Amos Silvertongue implied "dumbass" without saying "dumbass"? Sheer genius! |

Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: Jeanie Date: 28 Feb 05 - 05:49 AM Director.....Dictator.....sometimes these titles are interchangeable ;). But, from my experience, what you *really* need to aspire to, Bee-dubya-ell, in the Ultimate Power and Maximum Sadism stakes is to be a Choreographer ! - jeanie |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: Bill D Date: 28 Feb 05 - 10:59 AM as a student of grammar & language, I note that the statement says: "I Want to Be *a* Dictator!" ...a post which can be meaningless. now if he wants to be THE dictator, we have a different situation. I always aspired to be Emperor of the Universe, but I seldom get a vote after I explain my platform. |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: Donuel Date: 28 Feb 05 - 11:01 AM The best line in the folksong "I want to be a dictator" is 'I'll raise me a bunch of dic tator tots'. |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: Rapparee Date: 28 Feb 05 - 11:27 AM But, since I created all of you and everything else, I already am the the Top Boss Of Everyone And Everything. Bee-dubya, you can be a junior assistant Bottom Boss. |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: Amos Date: 28 Feb 05 - 11:35 AM Oh, look who's all over generous of a sudden!! Nice of you, Mister Solipsist!! One can be A dictator; there are more than one countries that already have them, or could have them with just a little more work -- the United States comes to mind. A |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: Rapparee Date: 28 Feb 05 - 12:21 PM Watch it, Amos, or I'll stop thinking about you. |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: gnu Date: 28 Feb 05 - 12:45 PM I thought there already was a dictator here... Big Mick. |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: Amos Date: 28 Feb 05 - 01:11 PM LOL!! Mick, a dictator?? No, you have a Deep Misunderstandiong; Mick persuades, encourages, harasses, encourages, explains and exemplifi3es, and sometimes even exhorts and bugs; but DICTATE? No, never, not he. There's a simple reason -- his heart is too big. Dictatorial attitudes require a scrunching down of the heart, even unto a black cinder in some cases. The United States Presidency comes to mind. A |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: gnu Date: 28 Feb 05 - 01:52 PM Uh, I was referring to the spud in his shorts. |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: GUEST,*Laura* Date: 28 Feb 05 - 02:00 PM I was planning on being a dictator when I'm a proper grown up. hehe. But maybe I should change that and hop on over to the director thread instead - they're not that different! xLx |

Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 28 Feb 05 - 02:15 PM I've changed my mind. I said I was only joking - that I don't really want to be a dictator. Well, I've decided I do want to be one after all. Here's my first decree: The speaking of French is hereby banned! Il est parlé loin trop fréquemment dans cet endroit. |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: GUEST,*Laura* Date: 28 Feb 05 - 02:21 PM so - if you (open question) were really a dictator (of the WHOLE WORLD) what rules would you add/remove? Lets start with someone telling the guy I sit next to in law class to stop playing with himself under the table! It's gotta be done! :0) xLx |

Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: John MacKenzie Date: 28 Feb 05 - 02:44 PM Gnu surely you mean Micktater? My friend Richard Murphy was also known as the great Dick Tater Bee-dubya, isn't there an easier and less dominating way to make the trains run on time? Giok ¦¬] |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: Amos Date: 28 Feb 05 - 02:51 PM BeeDub, you should know that Babelfish is pathetically inept at nuance. For example, it cannot disitnguish between "far", meaning extremely, and "far" meaning a long way away. Your sentence reads "It is spoken (a long way away) too frequently in this place." Roughly. Laura: You are treading a slippery slope telling boys not to play with themselves. I mean I can understand the desire, but the problem with laws designed hastily is they have unintended consequences. Some of which you would probably deem less desirable than the original problem, possibly, I guess. SOftly, softly, catchee monkey!! Consider the thoughtful self-restraint of the Founding Fathers; they imposed no moral requirements, out of respect for the individual. Of course you could tell him you thought it was really gross -- that would handle it through sheer embarassment, and no law needed!! :D Me, I would make a law against making laws that were about more than one subject, and which were of the wrong scale. One law, one subject. Federal-scale mandates from Congress, everything else from the states and counties and civic units. A |

Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: Bill D Date: 28 Feb 05 - 03:59 PM I had a social studies teacher in High school who, after a 'spirited' discussion about freedom in class, walked in the next day and wrote on the board: "This class is run democratically! signed, King Harmon the First |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: GUEST,*Laura* Date: 28 Feb 05 - 04:02 PM Amos - He can play with himself - just not under the table of a public place when he's sitting next to me! xLx - and it would help if he didn't look like something from planet of the apes too :0) |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: Amos Date: 28 Feb 05 - 04:45 PM LOL!!!! You should tell him he has permission to do it. It would bring him to screeching halt. For a while, anyway. Or take notes. :) A |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: GUEST,*Laura* Date: 28 Feb 05 - 04:57 PM Hahahahahahahahaha. Maybe I'll try that one! :0) xLx |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 28 Feb 05 - 04:58 PM Yes, Babelfish's French sucks! But it doesn't suck nearly as bad as what remains of my 35-year-old single course in high school French. That's why I decreed that French shall not be spoken. You may not speak in tongues which your dictator can't understand! |
Subject: RE: BS: I Want to Be a Dictator! From: Amos Date: 28 Feb 05 - 06:00 PM That's gonna be a tough one man. If I start chanelling ancinet Persian, Mayan or Urdu, whatcha gonna do? A |
