Rage of the Marsupials

Bob the Overlord's Blog
In this for myself since 2004

Tuesday, November 2, 2004

Ah, dawn.

The sun is rising gently over the land. Election volunteers are heading to the polling places.

And so is my army of genetically-enhanced animals. Kangaroos, opossums, wombats, Tasmanian devils. Poised to strike.

All shall fear the rage of the marsupials.

Soon, my army will descend upon the polling places, blocking anyone but me from coming or going, and most especially, from voting. By this evening, my vote will be the only one cast in the entire United States of America. And I shall be President!

Mwa ha ha ha ha.

My plan is perfect. Except for that minor bit about Joe Hero getting hold of the hypnotic animal-training machine, but that's a moot issue now. After all, the machine needs power to run. It's not much use to him when he's trapped in his home, with the power lines cut, and guarded by three hundred of my elite wallaby troops.

He can't even call the power company, because my troops cut his phone line too. And his cable modem, just for good measure. And stepped on his cell phone. And dropped his PDA out the window.

Everything is perfect. Everything is in place. Soon, the world will be mine.

Mwa ha ha ha ha.

Ha ha.

Laptops don't need wall power.
You forgot about my neighbors' wireless Internet.
Aren't you forgetting about absentee ballots?

History:

Late 2002 / early 2003: I came up with "Rage of the Marsupials" as the name for a sample game to be included with a game-development kit I was writing (still unfinished).
Saturday, July 24, 2004: Entered "Bob the Overlord's Blog" in a science-fiction challenge on the Writer's BBS. All shall fear the rage of the marsupials.
Wednesday, July 28, 2004: In response to overwhelming public request (someone mentioned they'd like to have one), designed bumper sticker art and posted a preliminary version for review. One person asked that I get honorable-mention points.
Thursday, July 29, 2004: After wading through mounds of legal agreements, submitted the artwork to CafePress and ordered the first-ever Rage of the Marsupials bumper sticker.
Monday, August 9, 2004: First-draft proofs arrived in the mail.
Thursday, August 12, 2004: rageofthemarsupials.com domain name registered. (Can you believe that rotm.com was already taken?)
Saturday, August 14, 2004: Artwork updated with new domain name. Waded through more legalese. Uploaded new artwork to CafePress, ordered a new sticker for myself, and opened for business!

Tell the world what an Evil Overlord you are. You know you want to.
Sunday, August 15, 2004: I retire on the royalties pouring in from bumper-sticker purchases, and invest my now-vast wealth into my next plan for world domination. Mwa ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha.
