Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader sees that the Crack Young Staff of The Hatemonger’s Quarterly has returned. And they have gone and made your Maximum Leader get all teary-eyed and having a Sally Field moment. They liked your Maximum Leader. They really liked him.

Quite honestly, your Maximum Leader is humbled to be named an honorary member of the Crack Young taff. It is a privledge to be so recognized. The Hatemonger’s Quarterly is one of the finest “weblogs” on the internet. They put up only one post a day, but it is always excellent. It was a pleasure to fill in while the CYS moved to their new digs. And he is waiting anxiously for the winner of the Bumper Sticker Contest.

Carry on.

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader posted earlier this morning his latest contribution to his week-long stint as guest blogger over on The Hatemonger’s Quarterly.

He once again thanks The Crack Young Stff of The Hatemonger’s Quarterly for the opportunity to contribute to their humble “weblog.”

If you, dear minions, had a particular update that you liked or disliked feel free to let your Maximum Leader know in the comments on to this post. He is, a little, interested in your feedback.

Carry on.

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader wanted to direct you all to a number of good things (as Martha might say if she weren’t still confined to her home) and important things on other blogs.

Before you do other things. Go and visit Kate. Help her out. She needs new fangs and is a very good cause.

Check out Sadie’s interview of Dan.

Somewhere. Out there. There is an iPod in need of a name.

You should go and read this story. Very moving. Thanks to Geeklethal for the tip.

Check out Basil’s tips to cut down on Spam. Yeah, you may have read them before, but read them again. Some people are thickheaded…

Just when you get the news from Iraq gets so sad, remember what we are there for. Tiki reminds us at Cranky Neocon.

Uh… No… Your Maximum Leader has never been “that guy” sitting in front on the Victoria’s Secret store sucking on a milkshake…

And while you are thinking hormonally… Your Maximum Leader isn’t sure about this (not-safe-for-work) site. But he doesn’t put it past someone to make that stuff. (Link courtesy of I Like Your Style. That link only moderately work safe.)

Ted laughed hard. So did your Maximum Leader when he saw that show. BTW, Jenna Elfman… Kooky. Crazy. Probably certifiable. But darned attractive.

Also courtesy of Ted and Buckethead, we have this site. Be careful lest you be touched by its noodly appendage.

And finally… This joke made your Maximum Leader think of Villainette #1. Because she tells jokes just like this.

Soon your Maximum Leader will be off to another Nats/Dodgers game. Go Nats! (Which if you listen to drunk people yelling it sounds remarkably like “Gonads!”)

Carry on.

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader is still trying to figure out how he wants to deal with comments here on Naked Villainy. He has tried to respond directly to commenters when he feels he has something pithy to say to them. This is to say he’s been e-mailing commenters directly. He isn’t sure that he want to engage himself in long discussion strings in the comments of his own website. Because he feels like those discussion strings are probably not well read.

On the other hand, responding directly to someone cuts out the other minions and readers of this site from a potentially interesting “conversation” as it were.

Your Maximum Leader had planned on writing separate posts on subjects spawned in the comments of another post. He’s thought of these as something of an extension of the “Minion Mailbag” feature from the old site.

If you have a preference for how you’d like to see comments and comments on comments handled, write them in the comment section of this post. Your Maximum Leader will take all serious suggestions under consideration.

Carry on.

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader has just posted his contribution to that wonderful weblog that is The Hatemonger’s Quarterly.

Go and read.

Carry on.

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader directs you to the third installment of his pithy commentary over on The Hatemonger’s Quarterly site.

Today’s subject, The Current Channel.

Carry on.

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader just put up his second offering on The Hatemonger’s Quarterly.

Check it out if you like.

Carry on.

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader will direct you to his first guest post over at The Hatemonger’s Quarterly. He doesn’t think it is quite up to the same rigourous standards set by the Crack Young (Editorial) Staff. But he will try to do better during the week.

Carry on.

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader is, in a way, surprised. The new blog format was rolled out a few short days ago. And today he got his first spam comment. Yes. The first one is always special. He’ll always remember his first…

He is surprised because it took a few days. He thought those spammers were insidious bastards who’d be on to him w/in 72 hours.

So “Abbe” at ip address: 148.244.150.58, your Maximum Leader will always remember that you wanted to offer all his readers unsecured personal loans - guaranteed.

If only you’d offered free porn. Perhaps then your Maximum Leader wouldn’t have banned your IP on the first offence…

Carry on.

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader must confirm the rumours. He will be guest blogging over at The Hatemongers Quarterly next week. It seems that the Crack Young Staff of the HMQ is moving to a new facility that will accomodate their 47% larger staff (as well as their intern, let’s call him “Chip”).

Your Maximum Leader is honoured to be asked to fill in for a few days. In some ways he feels like Letterman filling in for Carson in the old days. (Or was that Rivers filling in for Carson? Humm…) Taking the “guest weblogger” seat at HMQ is a prime gig.

Of course, your Maximum Leader is quite glad that the Crack Young Staff of the HMQ didn’t call Gordon the Cranky Neocon as a reference. The delightfully funny Gordon asked for volunteers to be “guest weblogger” on his site for a few days. Your Maximum Leader did volunteer. And how many guest posts did he write? Zip. Nada. Zilch. Rien. Lucky for Gordon the ever-popular Tikipundit also volunteered. (Tiki, by the way, is doing a bang-up job over on Cranky Neocon. Go. Now. Read!) In his own defence, your Maximum Leader had something of a domestic disturbance at the Villainschloss which took time away from guest blogging. It seems the dwarves in the dungeon got “uppity” and tried to flood out your Maximum Leader. Silly dwarves. It will take more than water in the dungeon to upset your Maximum Leader.

Anyho…

Your Maximum Leader is excited about writing for the Hatemongers. Indeed last night he found himself scouring Al Gore’s “internet” for interesting items upon which to opine.

He is also working on ways to use “feculent” on a more regular basis.

Carry on.

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader is doffing his bejeweled floppy hat in honor of his newest Loyal Minion, Phin.

Phin and Sexy Sadie have done yeoman’s work with this weblog over the past few weeks. Indeed, your Maximum Leader has done nothing except supervise their toil, suggest (demand) changes, and request (require) system performance improvements.

And they are still on speaking terms with your Maximum Leader after all this is done…

Phin, Sadie, your Maximum Leader thanks you both for everything you’ve done to make Nakedvillainy.com a better blog. He doffs his bejeweled floppy hat to you both.

Carry on.
(more…)

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader would like you all to know that there appears to be some time-delay issue with accepting comments on the blog. This is to say that you may enter a comment and click on the “Post” button. And then nothing happens.

Well, something is actually happening. Just it is going very slowly.

Don’t click multiple times on the “Post” button. This will cause your comment to be posted multiple times.

We’ll examine this issue.

Carry on.

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader was just over at Anticipatory Retaliation reading the latest from Bravo Romeo Delta.

It is embarassing to read something in which a blogger is so concerned about the quality his work when your Maximum Leader will oftentimes just write complete crap for the sake of posting. Go and read BRD’s post about the nature of blogging and the blogging process. It is worth your time and further thought. Especially if you are a blogger.

If you are not a blogger, your Maximum Leader supposes you can just forget this whole post ever happened.

Carry on.

This is just a test of the MoP’s posting capability. If this had been a real post, you would be amused, angered, or otherwise affected now.

Believe.
