If I ruled the world I would never never ever let Tim Burton direct a movie again.  Ever.  Never.  He's not a good director...

If I ruled the world, I would forbid people to own SUVs unless they really, REALLY knew what they're supposed to be used for (and NOT as status symbols, mind you).

If I rulled the world, I'd ban the four major networks and everyone would get free cable and sattalite TV. Everyone would own a pet and would get life in prison if they abused pets or children beyond the usual discipline. Ethnic and racist jokes whose sole purpose is to hurt certain groups would be banned.

As there is no Transport Minister yet, as Urban and Housing Development Minister, all Freeways shall be turned into outdoor bowling alleys*.

The resultant traffic chaos will be the problem of whoever becomes Transport Minister, I got in first (you know how pigheaded politicians can be)  ::)

Oh, you bet. Spent many a time down at my local Superbowl doing that very job, accidentally slipping on the shiny ball-o surface, into the gutters. Now I merely attach the non-expensive clamps onto the end of the gutters to serve as bumpers! And voilá! A new invention, right at my fingertips!

Okay guys, stand clear of the alleyways and listen to this important notice. The fries are NOT for cleaning out of the Superbowl after everyone else is done. They're for eating, grabbing, while you still have at least your three bowling fingers left. I implore you, make sure you still have at least three by the end of the night, or our team will walk yours in the championship. Nuh!

And so on.

*Chuckle*  Just because the President is a woman doesn't mean she'd do a good job ;)  Not that she'd do a bad job either.

And now to piss off a lot of people:

If a woman were in charge, the toilet seat would always be down.

If a woman were in charge, shoe laborers would be the top paid workers in the world.

If a woman were in charge, the Libyans and Iraqis would run for cover every time her "period" comes around.

If a woman were in charge, Hootie Johnson would be executed ;)

That's it for now.

You're welcome, SF.  But I think it goes beyond the kinky girls thing.  Everybody deserves unconditional love from their family -- no matter what choices they make.  If they chose to be vegens, or if they chose to be a carpenter instead of going to college, or they chose to be an English major rather than pursue an MBA degree.

Well, maybe if our country could be cool enough to have a non-male president, let alone someone who wasn't white, no matter what their "lifestyle" was, I wouldn't mind passing along my genes.  Until then, I think I'll just pass along jeans.

If I ruled the world, I would go home right now ('cuz I'm at work!) , but before doing so I would email or call all the people I know and tell them to quit working, and do whatever they want (as long as it doesn't involve hurting other fellow living creatures...) y'know, you're buddies w/the guy who rules the world!

I'd also give the death penalty automatically to all child molesters and abusers, as well as to rapists, no slow torture or nothing, just get rid of them quickly, no point on keeping those around for any further period of time. And I'd demand a Ferrari ASAP.  8)
