Dear Santa,

You slimy, lying bastard. When I was ten you sent me a letter saying that I had gotten too old to on your delivery route and you cut kids off at ten years old. Then last year you delivered a gift to my folks. You know what? It hurt. Especially since you stopped delivering stuff to my sister when she was 12. What did I do wrong? Did Rudolph not like the apples I left for him? Did you prefer Oreos to Chips Ahoy?! Are you pissed that I insisted my folks leave the fire going in the chimney till you burned your ass? If so, I apologize.

Besides that's all pretty tame compared to what you did. Christopher Nicholas Kringle, you are a terrible person. I hope you run into Young Justice and Lobo again this year.

I, on the other hand, have been 75% good this year. There have been a few minor incidents, but for the most part I've been good. So here is my Christmas list.

  1. First, I demand a robot army. As you might have heard, I've been trying to take over and rule Greenland. I don't expect you to just fly in and hand the reins to their country over to me. I mean where is the fun in that? Supplying me with the arms necessary to complete the task myself-- that's a whole other story.

  2. A single geeky woman in her mid-to-late twenties. She can be Empress when I takeover Greenland. That way it won't be lonely at the top.

  3. One of those phone booths from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. My regime would never make a mistake because as soon as it did-- I could just go back and prevent myself from doing it. Or I could go back in time and delete my enemies from ever being born.

  4. Some sort of weird pet. What evil overlord doesn't have a pet? I have dogs but that's not weird enough. Hairless cats are cliché. Besides, Alf and I have the same feeling towards cats. Something exotic but not entirely cute. Something like an orangutan.

  5. I want you to cancel CSI: Miami.

That's about it.

Sincerely,
Jess

P.S.:
Screw this up for me Fat Man, I'll just go ask The Hogfather for the same stuff next year. He's quicker. He delivers on the Solstice, after all.
