The Overlord absolutely loves reading The Art of Manliness. Weird, I know, but not really. Yeah, I’m a chick, but I can throw a kettle bell around for two solid minutes before complaining that I’m sore all week.
In this home-spun little city that The-Great-and-Evil-Overlord calls home it is popular, very popular, to adopt a sort of old-timey image. Beards and sweaters and wood chopping and all that. It’s a total facade, these Man-Children just stopped shaving and turned in their jerseys for bow ties, but they’re trying. Deep down they know. They’re hiding that big, soft, gooey center of privilege and entitlement bred into our generation, but at least they know…
Anywho…I stumbled across this entry on How to Make a Citizen’s Arrest. Since two of my three readers are into that sort of thing, I thought I’d post it. Unfortunately there isn’t any advice on wearing a costume…
If you see a bad guy commit a felony, but he’s unarmed and isn’t fleeing, reasonable force would probably be grabbing his arm and saying, “I’m putting you under a citizen’s arrest until the police get here.”
Doing a flying jump kick to his sternum and then putting him in a sleeper hold while whispering ”shhhh…go to sleep my sweet little evil one” would probably be considered excessive force, and you could be liable for any injuries you may have caused the bad guy.
Also, nothing about bear mace or crack pipes….but the Übermas gift guide is excellent. Get your minions some mustache wax and things that smell like whiskey and leather.

The Swiss Flashlights are out of stock?! Brb, going to back to the 80s to slip a mickey into a Swiss infantryman’s drink.
Now where’d I put that Aquanet…?
Overlord,
Thank you! One has been following these links for a couple days now. The shopping list is fun.
