  1. Dragon as threatened 3rd world dictator... excellent. I think there might be room for a corresponding "whimsical affectations of the dragon". Including such classics as "Abducts moderately well known actresses and directors and forces them to perform its stilted badly written plays" (Kim Jong Il), "Writes and publishes passable post modern fiction" (Gaddaffi), "Has air force of 'dragon riders' who lack riding dragons and instead practice flying by jumping off tables and running about with arms outstretched" (Idi Amin) and "Collects/commissions incredibly tasteless and self glorifying fantasy art and drinks unfashionable wine" (Saddam Hussein).

    1. Fantasy can't hold a candle to straight-up human folly. Thanks, Gusty!
