No, no no, y'all going about this minion application
thing wrong. You gotta think outside the box. Figure
out what ye high Overlords are *really* looking for.

I mean, okay, what does a neatly printed resume sent
in to the Cabal SuperMegaFortress Death Gate and
Night Mail Drop show? Well, it shows you know
how to prepare a resume and use the postal service.
Not terribly exciting, no? Now, what does sending in
a resume inscribed on slabs of black  polished
obsidian in the sigils of ancient lost R'lyeh
that glow with an unholy red fire show? It shows
that you might have creativity and a diverse suite
of prior cultural experiences. Okay, not bad, getting
warmer, not quite ho hum, ya might qualify for keeping
the Overlord's coffee topped off, especially if
you're cute, too, but *Minionhood*?  Oh _please_.

Now, using the power of your will to rip
the solar system out of the Orion Arm of
the Milky Way Galaxy, plunk it down
a galactic diamater smack above the galactic core,
and then rearranging the dust and stars of the rest
of the galaxy until your resume blazes from horizon
to horizon across Earth's night sky, now *that's*
an application that might get you a second interview
for Minionhood...

Scribbles on physical material, sheesh! Whatdaya
all think this is, applying to med school? :-)
