The Villain Mark Twain



Wednesday, November 30th, was the 176th birthday of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, who took the Villain name "Mark Twain" and said;

"Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand"
- Mark Twain

MetaVillainy is using the character to achieve the objective. It IS successful, and always has been preeminently so in a media/written text environment.

-Lord Malignance

Side Note: No disrespect is meant to the memory of Mr. Clemens. One is a very large fan, and intends my including him in Villainy, not to ennoble the work of Villainy, but to inspire. He challenged so much of the establishment in his time, both personally at potential loss to his reputation, and frequently in his writing.

By the way - his Autobiography (Vol 1) was just recently released - his stipulation being that it could only be published 100 years after his death. You can find it HERE.
