1. I will not use up all twelve of my regenerations.

I can't imagine anyone using all twelve up in one year! That would be ridiculous!

You should also resolve not to incarnate as the Valeyard.

I just barely avoided selling the planet out to the Daleks last year. You ask a great deal of my already sorely tried patience.

bloody humans, I've no sympathy at all...

[sdelmonte]

And what if the insect overlords take the place of the presidential candidates?

[camwyn]

Write-in candidates.

[sdelmonte]

Go ahead! Waste your vote!

(I like combining Simpsons quotes.)

[camwyn]

Given the general incompatibility of the title of 'overlord' and any kind of a democratic system whatsoever, it'd be a waste whether I wrote in or not, so at least this way I'm wasting my vote the way I want to waste my vote.

Neener.

Does #3 include fish? Because ladymondegreen did that.

[camwyn]

I said anyone. Unless the fish is sentient, it's not anyone, it's anything.

Can you prove the fish isn't sentient?

Assuming is a dangerous game!

Same as for you and I cats are somebodies, instead of somethings, and for some, only dogs reach the person status.

After violating 6 last year, I'm hoping not to have to do it again.

[camwyn]

Yeeeeah, understandable.

4. I will watch television at least once without complaining about it.

To aid with this resolution, I recommend Good Eats.

5. I, for one, will not welcome our new insect overlords.

Naturally not. That'd just piss off the Decepticons, and nobody wants that.

[camwyn]

Naturally not. That'd just piss off the Decepticons, and nobody wants that.

All I can think of now is this...

I thought of the fifth panel here, (http://www.insecticons.com/insecticomics/v3/296.html) but I'll admit there was a part of me that went "Now, Insecticon overlords, that I could get behind."

Voting to get the republicans out of office isn't just a new year's resolution "It's a PUBLIC SERVICE."

Encourage more people to vote like you and I might just buy you a superhero cape/tights.

With the way my mom monopolizes the tv nowadays, I'd never be able to do #4. Especially since her first choice is usually the Disney channel.

Those are good ones! I think i'll try that. I'll need to concentrate on not knocking any major celestial bodies out of orbit. Does Pluto count as "major"?

[camwyn]

As far as I'm concerned, anything larger than Ceres (or maybe even Vesta) counts as major.
