I said yes (he was taken) and linked you to the list. ElJefe picked him in the first round. Try again.
It also deserves mention that left-wing conspiracy theorists (well, both left- and right-wing) and conservatives with Clinton Derangement Syndrome still kinda, sorta take Milosevic's side. Every once and while--even on Big Soccer--you'll find someone who insists that there were no mass graves or rape camps in Yugoslavia.
Round 4 The Comanche Made every Indian tribe in the Southwest region their bitch. Singlehandedly kept the Spanish conquistadors south of the Brazos. Collected more Mexican scalps than Landon Donovan. Sparked fear in the hearts of even the mighty Texas Rangers. Loved white women. Begot Mike Segroves via an orgy with his great great great great grandmother and some wolves.
Nice of soccernutter to send me a PM instructing me to pick at 5:00 AM my time on a Monday morning. Talk about tyranny. Let me see who's been picked, and then I'll make my choice.
With my fourth Pick I select: NE WIN (BRILLIANT AS THE SUN) Burma Ne Win is the name he gave to himself, loosely translated to English it means 'Brilliant as The Sun'. He was a zealot follower of the teachings of Marx, and his 'Burmese way to Socialism' resulted in Burma becoming one of the poorest nations in the world. He also ruled with an iron fist, and is estimated that he was responsible for the killings tens of thousands and some say possibly even hundreds of thousands. Many of those deaths ocurred during the uprising of 1988, after he resigned his position, but remained strongly in power behind the scenes. Here are excerpts from his orbituary by the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/1581413.stm More info http://www.time.com/time/asia/covers/1101021216/newin.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ne_Win
Apparently BS has reduced the PMs you can store down to 500, so since I was grandfathered up to 1000, I now have to delete 500 of them. Super. (By that I mean stupid.) I left my proxies with Ombak, but he seems to have taken a sabbatical. So with my fourth round pick I'll take Charlemagne. Because forced conversions are fun. Incidentally soccernuter, your sig is especially funny considering Charles V was as an enlightened of a ruler as you're likely to get during that time in Europe.
With my 4th pick I select: From the Republic of Liberia, Charles Taylor Qualifications: rape, torture, slave labor and rape
For my late 3rd round pick I select: House of Saud -Named Arabia after them. -Public beheadings -Corporal punishments (don't go there if you like your limbs) -Horrible treatment of women. Only 5% of them work. Most are forced to stayat home. Women can't vote. Can't drive. And if a women is gangraped she is guilty not the rapists. -Women are treated like sh*t basically once they step out of the house. Probably inside their houses also. -Pwnt the world because of oil. Panfilo's Tyrants 1) Fidel Castro (Cuba) 2) Ahuitzotl (Aztec Empire) 3) House of Saud (Saudi Arabia)
For my birthday I want Pinochet's sunglasses and Kaiser Bill's hat. I haven't decided who's shirt/uniform I want yet.
My geek flag is upside down. Could someone please PM me how to embed youtube video like still pictures?
Surround the last part of the youtube.com url, it's usually a bunch of letters following a "v=", with a tag.
My Fourth round pic is going to Europe.... Nicolae Ceausescu of Romania. 1965-89 - Exported anything that wasn't bolted down for hard currency, leaving his country destitute. - Forced women to carry pregnancies to term in order to achieve a population explosion. - Destroyed much of Romania historical architecture to create bland and useless apartment blocks. - Bought into the self-reliance ideals after visiting North Korea. - Suppression of minorities and his opponents in a variety of way (attraction to windows was one such thing). - Used forced labour to build the Danube-Black Sea canal, which turned out to be worthless. - Was inept of an individual but still claimed to be a genius by using the work of others. Rubbed off on his wife.
This should be an invalid pick, because you should be picking an individual and not a bloodline. However, the entire bloodline is such a bunch of wimps, nobody should even bother to object. These are the guys who will fight the Israelis down to the last Jordanian. A band of mercenaries could take them out if they didn't have guys like Bush looking out for them.
