Nerd Ten Commandments
 
If you're going to post the ten commandments in classrooms, at least make them worth it...

1) You Shall Not Pass
2) Never Feed Him After Midnight
3) Never Get Involved in a Land War in Asia
4) Never Tell Me the Odds



Help me a with a few others.

The Top 100 Things I'd Do
If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord



My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass visors, not face-concealing ones.
My ventilation ducts will be too small to crawl through.
My noble half-brother whose throne I usurped will be killed, not kept anonymously imprisoned in a forgotten cell of my dungeon.
Shooting is not too good for my enemies.
The artifact which is the source of my power will not be kept on the Mountain of Despair beyond the River of Fire guarded by the Dragons of Eternity. It will be in my safe-deposit box. The same applies to the object which is my one weakness.
I will not gloat over my enemies' predicament before killing them.
When I've captured my adversary and he says, "Look, before you kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?" I'll say, "No." and shoot him. No, on second thought I'll shoot him then say "No."
After I kidnap the beautiful princess, we will be married immediately in a quiet civil ceremony, not a lavish spectacle in three weeks' time during which the final phase of my plan will be carried out.
I will not include a self-destruct mechanism unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary, it will not be a large red button labelled "Danger: Do Not Push". The big red button marked "Do Not Push" will instead trigger a spray of bullets on anyone stupid enough to disregard it. Similarly, the ON/OFF switch will not clearly be labelled as such.
I will not interrogate my enemies in the inner sanctum -- a small hotel well outside my borders will work just as well.
I will be secure in my superiority. Therefore, I will feel no need to prove it by leaving clues in the form of riddles or leaving my weaker enemies alive to show they pose no threat.
One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation.
All slain enemies will be cremated, or at least have several rounds of ammunition emptied into them, not left for dead at the bottom of the cliff. The announcement of their deaths, as well as any accompanying celebration, will be deferred until after the aforementioned disposal.
The hero is not entitled to a last kiss, a last cigarette, or any other form of last request.
I will never employ any device with a digital countdown. If I find that such a device is absolutely unavoidable, I will set it to activate when the counter reaches 117 and the hero is just putting his plan into operation.
I will never utter the sentence "But before I kill you, there's just one thing I want to know."
When I employ people as advisors, I will occasionally listen to their advice.
I will not have a son. Although his laughably under-planned attempt to usurp power would easily fail, it would provide a fatal distraction at a crucial point in time.
I will not have a daughter. She would be as beautiful as she was evil, but one look at the hero's rugged countenance and she'd betray her own father.
Despite its proven stress-relieving effect, I will not indulge in maniacal laughter. When so occupied, it's too easy to miss unexpected developments that a more attentive individual could adjust to accordingly.

Never wrestle with a pig. You get dirty and the pig likes it.

Escalators are never broken they just become stairs.

Never complain and never explain.

Norm K 05-02-2023 10:54 AM

Don't tug on Superman's cape

Don't spit into the wind

Don't pull the mask off that ol' Lone Ranger

Don't mess around with Jim ...




Oh, and and if you're Jim, don't mess around with Slim.

Don't sweat the petty stuff.
Don't pet the sweaty stuff.

Can you keep a secret? So can I.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
There is no crying in baseball.
Get busy living or get busy dying.
There is no place like home.

1) You Shall Not Pass
2) Never Feed Him After Midnight
3) Never Get Involved in a Land War in Asia
4) Never Tell Me the Odds
5) There is no try, only do.
6) The needs of the Many outweigh the needs of the Few

I mean if you're not feeding him after midnight, might as well avoid bright light and don't get them wet.

Pazuzu 05-02-2023 07:47 PM

I guess I'll make it more classic...

1) Thou shalt not pass
2) Thou shalt not feed him after midnight
3) Thou shalt not get involved in a land war in Asia
4) Thou shalt not tell me the odds
5) Thou shalt not try, only do
6) Thou shalt double-tap
7) Thou shalt throw after the count of three
8) Thou shalt realize that there is no spoon
9) Thou shalt take it off some sweet jumps
10) Thou shalt state that yes, you are a god when asked

11) Thou shalt know that the Lord Jehovah has given unto you these fifteen commandments
12) Thou shalt hammer a six inch spike through a board with your penis
13) Thou shalt flip the tortoise back over
14) Thou shalt not blaze up in here
15)

And I'm tapped. I just need one more. "needs of the many" doesn't count, it doesn't fit the style

If they really are a nerd commandments; you could add "The power of the keyboard is greater than the power of the sword."

Never shake it more than twice unless you mean to

If you misplace something, you will always find it in the last place you look.

If you think you can trust a fart, proceed with caution.

If your kid tries to argue with you about something like his/her being grounded, tell them, "this is not negotiable," and walk away.

If they retort, "It's not fair!" tell them they're correct and often life isn't fair... but keep walking.

That one is one of my pet peeves.

Ever notice that typically when someone says "lifes not fair" it's when that person had a choice to either be a decent human being or be a dick and they chose the later?

If it ain't broke .... fix it until it is!

You do know that's because after that, you stop looking.

Else, it would be..."I lost my keys, I looked for 2 days and then found them in the 3rd to last place I looked." :D

Oh, and to go with this one...
