Perhaps it is inevitable in the course of human events that everyone who plays Risk will, at some point, win. Having gotten that bit of humility out of the way...
I AM SKELETOR, PAY ME HOMAGE!!!
Okay, okay, I'm not that pumped up, but it was a pretty good feeling to watch my armies march to victory over my opponents Saturday at our quarterly Game Day. It was, as you may have guessed, the first time I have won a game of Risk. It was a fun and new feeling just to be in the game and not watching from the sidelines as the game progressed. When it came down to the endgame, however, it was awesome! All who stood in my way scattered before the gathered might of my military hordes, and my iron fist smashed their strongholds to dust!
For those of you who missed it, be glad you were spared the carnage! Prepare yourselves well for our next outing, however, as my campaign continues to build steam! Do not misunderestimate me!

I had heard the message well before reading your blog. Word travels fast and far with such victories. Your reputation as a ruthless conquerer is sending ripples of fear across town and across our extended family web.
Rollin, you crack me up. Perhaps b/c in general you just come across as a rather quiet humble guy. I enjoyed your wordy recounting of your victory!
I'm glad you chose the "I am Skeletor" line from that Will Farrel skit and not the "Quick, the cops are coming! Shove this balloon filled with cocain up your..." line.
Funny that. I concluded that, given he lack of context I was providing, the Skeletor quote would not only be more amusing, but also would not cause the raised eyebrows that might come from the other line you quoted.
For anyone curious, the context is a skit wherein a wife is seeking her husband's help in ending a phone conversation without seeming rude to the other party. Will Farrel, as only he can, comes up with several outlandish excuses which he shouts loudly enough for the other party on the phone to hear. As you can guess, none go over well...
