Have an accolade or two, then help yourself to the appropriate appurtenances of office. You are now Head Honcho of Interrogation.

I'm still reading my way through the XKCD forum discussion about XKCD Time.

Currently on page 1622 of 1666. Started reading on August 16th.

I've also started playing the Sandcastle Builder game, which will make not the slightest bit of sense to a non-OTTer..

Speaking of Head Honchos, I recently read that the Head Honcho of the NOVA Space Program has a sign on his desk that says: "Bossa NOVA"

I'd need some lucky animal-foot-type object to be lucky enough to guess the right answer without hippity hoppitying all around the solution.

No, I just can't think what it would be.
