Ming: Klytus, I'm bored. What plaything can you offer me today?
Klytus: An obscure body in the S-K system. The inhabitants refer to it as the planet...Earth.
Ming: How peaceful it looks...[Causes an earthquake.]
Klytus: Most effective, Your Majesty. Will you destroy this...ah...Earth?
Ming: Later. I like to play with things a while, before annihilation. - Flash Gordon (1980)

Like a little girl who just woke up because somebody licked her foot, and then when she turns on the light there’s an evil clown sitting in the middle of her bedroom, eating her pony. There’s no comebacks from the clown-pony scream.
