A Tribute to the Noble Vulture




Thanksgiving is a day when people’s minds turn to turkeys, a victim of a bird to be sure, but not a bird for Villains. The turkey is symbolic of prey, its purpose to be slaughtered for the hunger of masses. No, for Villains, our bird should not be the noble eagle, or the humble turkey. Our bird, must be the noble vulture.

So today, on this day when minds turn to think on the value of the feast (turkey), and on family/country (eagle), join me in a fond salute to the most maligned of birds, the bird of OUR culture: The Vulture.

Evil Organizational Updates:

Agent, One saw this, and thought it might catch your fancy.

If Villains ever needed a headquarters to meet at and plot World Domination, it would have to be Las Vegas (Sin City). If not, then the backup could very well be this place.

Holiday cheerfulness frazzling your Evil Intent, and you need to bolster your Malevolence? Take the Supervillain quiz.

    Sometimes motherly, sometimes a beautiful companion, but most of the time a deceiving vixen.


    Huh. I don't know much about her, but she doesn't ever seem like she's having fun. Kind of a lulzkiller, actually.

  6. And I'm not sure you've thought your poultry all the way through...


    "Turkey vultures poop on legs to cool down": http://communities.canada.com/edmontonjournal/blogs/soundoff/archive/2009/08/23/349716.aspx

    Apparently it's also a sanitizer (high uric acid content) and an offensive weapon deployed by baby vultures against climbing predators.

    Of course, Egyptians worshiped them but it seems like Egyptians would worship just about anything if it held still long enough. (To be fair, their vultures are way prettier than ours: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/47/Egyptian_vulture.jpg) Back then it was called "Mother of Mothers". Nowadays they call it "Pharaoh's Chicken".

  7. Agent,
    Granted, the hygene of Vultures is appalling, however the pragmatic purpose of their biological process is a revelation. Since they wade into the carcasses, their biology is an effective bacterial combatant. The pretty birds we celebrate (and eat like cattle), but the vulture remains it's own master. One still appreciates your analytical processes though.
    Another Bird vies with my choice, and there may be others: The crow, raven, and rook. While Vultures have the habit of showing up after death has visited, only Crows would follow armies out into the battle field in anticipation of the carnage. Both are worthy birds, however ones heart prefers the extreme villainy of Vultures.
    Thank you for your posts,
    -Lord Malignance

  8. Crows hold a special place in my heart, as Jet City is full of them. However, they seem unnaturally intent on bitching at me in favor of other passersbys. It could be the dead possum I carry around as a good luck charm, but I like to think of it as an avian "hello, wassup?".

    It's just really too bad that all the cool birds have been adopted by RLSHs that are trying to be "edgy". (See: Storm Crow)

    And please, darling, call me Beryllium. We're on a first name basis, Oui?
