Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader has some guests arriving at the Villainschloss today - so between his guests and regular responsibilities, he will not likely be posting much.

Your Maximum Leader is also waiting for news… News of Mrs. Smallholder… She is going to the hospital today to birth the third wee Smallholder. We don’t know anything about what to expect. Well… Except that the baby will be half-farmer and half-cultured… And we expect the child to be good-looking, but that is thanks to Mrs Smallholder’s genes and not our manure bespeckled friend…

In the meanwhile…

Go and read this post from the great and terrible Velociman. The V-man is one of my all-time favourites. His posts never cease to delight (and sometimes disturb) your Maximum Leader.

Carry on.
