The Evil Overlord List is just one of those things that was so well-
written, witty, and on target people are bound to cherish it and 
refer to it when they want to talk about Things That Made Them Groan. 
But you know what? It's all about love. We love those things that 
make us groan, don't we? *grins*

The big irony is that this much beloved list has in its own weird way 
made the Evil Overlord new again. A little twisted, yes, but new.

Someday someone will write a fantasy novel that really plays with 
this. An Evil Overloard who has carefully and hilariously  read the 
list.
