I`d have taken more time otherwise. I forgot one;

I like death BTW Fosen. Cool. Is he really a fictional villan?
maybe the bid daddy patron saint of all fictional villans...

DC

I initially tagged him as "Mr. D," but changed it, since I'd edited out "sue Mick and Keith for writing credit." Maybe Lucy will find the cloak and sickle references sufficient.

Sorry, Dave, I find it hard to get out of teacher-mode. It's spelt 'villains' btw - oops, there I go again! See what I mean?

On a more serious note, sometimes we don't see our own mistakes, that's all. I really loved your entry :)

Try to be nice. That poncy, stuck-up bastard
Who shags it if it moves, and gets well-plastered,
Be nice to him. What if he pinched your job?
Pity the smooth, effete, affected snob.

Try to be nice. Be nice to coloured chaps.
They do their best. Remember you perhaps
Might in another life have been a savage
Who knew no better than to rape and ravage.

Try to be nice. Be nice to bloody fools.
Don’t flatter them and use them as your tools.
It’s not his fault if some poor bugger’s thick,
The useless, spineless, miserable prick.

Try to be nice. Be nice to womankind.
She needs your help. She hasn’t got a mind.
And in particular, to lessen strife,
Be nicer to your very stupid wife.

thanks Jayne.I can`t spell for tofee.

HA!!! Fantastic, John. Truly.

I love it, John.

And Dave, on your question of whether the devil is a fictional villain, how about Paradise Lost? although Johnson (I think it was Johnson) did argue that Satan was the hero of that work, and that Milton was "of the Devil's party."
I love yours too, Frank.

I believe it was Blake who said that of Milton, preceding it with the assertion that he was "a true poet".

Great stuff, John!

Maryann, I think Dave asked if death was a fictional villain, not the devil. A closer call, I think, since death actually exists in real life, though perhaps without a scythe and a black robe.

Pardon my error, Roger, and Dave. I think we can call Death the fictional villain of the various folk tale types in which he appears, can't we? Ann, thanks for the correction.
