How many happy accidents would it take?

About 30 million might do the trick. But I still wouldn't be arsed.

the country reads my insights on ILX, makes me write-in candidate, I win in a landslide

i become a rock star, time names me person of the year, world takes notice

if having a history of drug use and general wayward youth and lacking political experience wasn't a disqaulification and you could ascend to leadership through family connections, underhanded campaigning and a steady stream of other peoples' money...

er, wait a minute

Jody, you'd have more chance as a bodybuilder-turned-wooden movie star.

Fuck, that was basically more or less my plan.

Back when I posted this, I thought I'd get some sort of Nobel Prize before tea-time.

not sure, but i know it would involve oil and terrorists.

― killy (baby lenin pin), Saturday, 14 January 2006 22:49 (twenty years ago)

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT OIL IS. I'VE NEVER SEEN AN OIL.

Or maybe a Beer Hall Putch

I figure those are my only options.

How many of those muppets did Hitler end up having killed?

― Sinister Oink Kingpin (noodle vague), Saturday, 14 January 2006 23:05 (twenty years ago)

I'm guessing 100%, including the man himself, but that's beer for you.

sleeping my way to the top

Where is Monica Lewinsky now?

― Gatinha (rwillmsen), Saturday, 14 January 2006 23:11 (twenty years ago)

Touring with a B-52s tribute act.

― Sinister Oink Kingpin (noodle vague), Saturday, 14 January 2006 23:12 (twenty years ago)

By her own account, Lewinsky survived the intense media attention by knitting. She now runs her own business, selling her own brand of handbags. She was also the host of the short-lived reality television dating program called Mr. Personality (2003). Lewinsky currently studies an MSc in Social Psychology at the London School of Economics.

Getting a job programming election-calculating computers. "We're not sure how this happened given that this person wasn't on any of the ballots, but it seems that Martin Skidmore is our new Prime Minister..."

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 14 January 2006 23:13 (twenty years ago)

Maybe in Florida.

Go to law school next year, become law person and local councillor, use hack contacts from university, become MP, get minor cabinet post, leadership contest.

I am really really terrible at networking and room working though - I probably do have a better chance with an asteroid or something.

Everyone else in Britain dies of avian flu and I fly in on an aeroplane and declare myself King. Then again, I'm sure the entire populations of Greece and Germany are ahead of me in the lineage, so they'd have to die too. What a nightmare!

In Soviet Russia, country leads you!

This is not actually so very far-fetched for me - I'm flying back into the country a week on Saturday after 12 years away, and presuming that everyone I do or might know and love, and the Air Traffic people, don't fall victim to the Chicken thing, I could be in for a triumphant homecoming!

I always pictured myself getting voted in. Apparently I have no imagination.

I'm going to pretend to lick milk from Rula Lenska's hand.

A friend who is well-placed to opine such things has suggested to me that if not for the US government furlough in '93/'94, when 'interns' more or less had the run of the White House, Monica would never have had the opportunity to wrap lips around Bill's cigar.
