Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader felt he needed to take a moment to take care of a few disjointed items that are lingering out there in his mind. So here goes…

First, consider yourselves warned. Your Maximum Leadr will not be posting from Sunday, March 13 (though he rarely blogs on Sunday anyway) to Saturday, March 19. You read that correctly. No bloging from your Maximum Leader for a whole week. Why you may ask yourself? Two words for you. Vegas. Baby.

Yes, your Maximum Leader will be in Las Vegas, Nevada for the week. He will be travelling with Mrs. Villain, but not the villainous offspring. Since he is travelling with Mrs. Villain the possible depths of depravity and debauchery to which your Maximum Leader would like to decend are, alas, limited. And, in keeping with his (and the Las Vegas Tourism Bureau’s) rule, “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” do not anticipate an accounting of the goings-on. Except maybe an account of gourmet meals eaten. (And he has a number of them scheduled.)

If you would like to guest blog in this space between March 13 and March 19, shoot your Maximum Leader an e-mail at: maxldr-blog -at- yahoo -dot- com. Or use the link on the left side of this page.

Of course… It would be nice to have your Maximum Leader’s various ministers do some posting while your Maximum Leader is away… But other than the Smallholder the other ministers are AWOL. Perhaps your Maximum Leader needs to re-evaluate crony status…

Second. Do not - repeat do not - make yourself an ice cream sundae in the dark. You might wind up pouring wasabi peas on your French Vanilla and hot fudge instead of peanuts.

Third. Many thanks to the lovely Annika for inviting your Maximum Leader to join her fantasy baseball league. While he didn’t respond to here initial e-mail fast enough to make her listing, but he has signed up now. He will let you know of his progress throughout the year.

Fourth, the Llama Military Correspondent asks us to name some more flash in the pan babes of the 80s. Your Maximum Leader first thought of Rebecca DeMornay. Really, after “Risky Business” she really only had one more big file “The Hand that Rocks the Cradle.” And nothing since. How about Kate Capshaw? She did one Indiana Jones movie, marries Spielberg, and is never heard from again. (Perhaps thankfully.) Or Elizabeth McGovern? Or Karen Allen?

And lastly, if you adjust for February being a short month, the site traffic here at Nakedvillainy.com continues to grow. We are averaging 225-240 unique visitors a day. Thanks very much to all of you who come back day after day. Your Maximum Leader really appreciates it.

Carry on.
