Look at that- 10:1... I hope Smurf appreciates what we're doing for this organization. Say, where is Smurf anyway? Probably sleeping with your bride.

Of course, being evil, you are crying tears of acid, right?
 
  • #155
Oh well, back to sleeping with smurf's mistress. She's not as good looking as the bride though...
 
  • #156
Certainly there is something constructive to talk about...
 
  • #157
Sheesh, I leave you alone for a few simple hours and look what you get yourselves into.

Well, my efforts to make this thread construcitve didn't work, but I remembered that old saying about men, "If you can't beat 'em, just give them a hand and they'll beat themselves."

Hmm, too far? :devil:

I think the fact that I scored Very High in almost every circle, eneded up in level 9 and am currently planning a coup against Satan means that I am the Evilest Genius

Welcome back Gokul! Haven't seen you here in a while. I'm probably going to head to bed soon...I'm not a very good insomniac, though I try. Sucks when the sun comes up before I'm in bed.

Yeah...lotsa work in the lab...and a busted comp at home, and no time to fix it.

Time for the long walk home... :frown:

there are no 'good' circles in hell, just less evil ones, therefor my having high in the 'eviller' circles as well as high in the 'not quite so evil' circles totals my evil to more than yours.

No, Limbo - the virtuous non believers is for good people, and purgatory is for people with good families who pay the catholic church to let them stay there.

Thats less total evil.
