My job requires that I wear a few picture ID badges; one for NASA Johnson Space Center, one for the major contractor, and one for the subcontractor that actually employs bad ol' me. They all went missing during the holiday break and I'm still in the process of having them replaced. It's been pretty smooth, all of the info, including various photographic reproductions of my visage charmant, are stored in silico and in most cases replacement is simply a matter of verifing that I am, indeed, the cosa reale and a quick reprint. It has, however, been a real trial not to utter the misquote that's been foremost in my keen mind:
Badges? I don't gotta show you no steenkin' badges!

I'm really wearing out the italics, aren't I?

It seems that I need more practice.
I AM 85% EVIL GENIUS!

I am pure evil. I lie awake at night devising schemes of world domination, and I will not rest until all living souls bend to my will.
If you take the test, send me your score. I'd like to know who I need to keep an eye on.
The good news is that I'm not a metrosexual.
