"I used to want to change the world. Now I just want to get out of the room with some dignity still intact."
Joshua Abraham Norton (ca. 1815 January 8, 1880): His Imperial Majesty Emperor Norton I, Emperor of these United States and Protector of Mexico! Hell yes you read that right! Coolest Emperor ever! Way cooler than Emperor Jimmu (descended from Amaterasu, my ass!). Oh, and I'd like to meet Charlie Kaufman. Oh, right, and Valerie Solanis. So I could sit down with her and be like, "Sister, what the fuck?!?!"
