The kilt was about my person at the time.)  I'm trying to think of truly villainous things for Flirty to do, though.  Work behind the scenes to adapt football uniforms to make them gradually tighter in the buttock region, introducing sinister homoerotic tendencies into what used to be a harmless American pastime?  I'd do something about infiltrating the schools, but that's still such an ugly, hate-filled topic, that it might be too difficult to do comedically.  This game is gonna work best if I'm using stereotypes that people can laugh at... Maybe Flirty is going to introduce Agent Pink, the horrific Gay-Inducing Serum, into America's water supply.  "Ye fools, ye pretty little tight-buttocked fools!  Within a year, ten percent of America will be shaking their shillelagh to a different tune!"Dirk Lancer:  Causing ten percent of good wholesome Americans to turn gay?  That's inhuman!Oh, and ErichDragon, I'm taking a page from the Simpsons and introducing the CommuNazis.  I can't remember what the logo looked like, though -- I think it was a swastika with a hammer and sickle as two of the arms...-Tacky</blockquote>
