Surprise Package 2

What could this be? Evil Editor thought. Too heavy to be a manuscript, thank God, and not quite heavy enough to be a severed head. It can't be from one of my minions. They don't know my address. Hell, they don't even suspect that I live in Botswana. Maybe it's a Chia pet. I should look into manufacturing Chia Evil Editor severed heads. My minions would probably shell out twenty bucks for one. Those idiots will buy anything. Maybe it's a big piece of meat, like a rump roast or a pork loin. Screw it, I'll donate it to the poor. Can't be anything I'd want.


Thus it was that an elderly gentleman, down on his luck and living in a homeless shelter, received his only Christmas gift: a Batman costume.

Ok, loved this but I have to admit I'm absolutely confounded as to which minion might be sending you superhero costumes. As usual I enjoyed having access to Evil's (twisted) thought-process verbatim, so Thank You! Also, meant to ask when will the results of voting for "Best of '08" be posted?

Interesting how EE instinctively knows how heavy a severed head would feel.

What's truly sad is that in just a few days time, thanks to a mix-up between Oxfam and Amazon, half the homeless population of the world will be sporting EE costumes...

This is the best explanation of minions that I've ever seen.
