I recently destroyed a whole planet (and with it, all its peaceful, seal-like inhabitants) for money.

I love money. Give it. I'll kill you for money unless you give it.

You couldn't afford me.

Seriously, I try to think about money only long enough to ensure I have some, after that it's not a factor. If I wanna do it, I'll do it for free. If I don' wanna, it don' happen.

pretty low, i suspect. i'm generally poor, whichs makes me much greedier than used to be....

I once offered my hand in marriage to anyone who could keep me in dungarees and hairdye. Still waiting for 'nesh to deliver on that one. If all else fails, the breach of promise suit should cover a decent holiday, which is probably my price right now...

but we are talking a decent holiday... S.America, and then round the world, would probably get you my second daughter.

As much as I tend to deny it, money's always been a major driving force in my rocking ambition. I've got a pretty expensive lifestyle these days, so I've got to pay for it somehow, and I can't always depend on my mega-selling back catalog of Smashing Pumpkins records, you know? I do a lot of advertisements in non-English speaking countries, mostly so my US/UK fans don't see them, ruining my mystique. I've got a pretty lucrative skin-cream endorsement in Korea, and my face was on every bag of seafood-flavored snack chips for three months last fall in Japan.

I keep trying to get my dad to find and then marry me off to a nice rich gay man who wants to placate his parents and has no desire for kids. A salary of a few hundred thousand a year for being a token wife seems like a pretty good deal. I draw the line at doing damage to anyone or anything... though I would probably be a lawyer or an estate agent if I was assured it'd make me rich. I have no real morals to speak of, but enough guilt to make up for that.

I keep its head as a trophy. And as I warning to those who would deny me my richly deserved money.

Should've taken a few offplanet and sold them as pets... would've made you even more money

No, my instructions were very precise and explicit:

"Kill them! KILL THEM ALL! HACK THEIR HEADS OFF!"

It was important, for the money's sake, that I did what I was told.

In that case, I applaud you.

Yes- if the heads had been retained, they wouldn't have made me such lovely lovely sealpersonskin decor throughout my Palace of Evil, with lots of matching outfits. I dine nightly upon sealpersonmeat, eaten from sealpersonskin plates.

You don't want to know what I did to get the money for all this.

Maybe you should call your new band "PRAWN" instead of "ZWAN." Think of the marketing possibilities!

(side note: Yesterday, on NPR, I heard that the new owner of an Albequerque, NM AAA Baseball team is leaning towards renameing the team "the Isotopes" in honor of Homer and Bart's favorite team.
