So, when your little guy stands up, it gets saluted by a one armed terrorist?

TWO Abu Hamzas?

Ohmigod, they've perfected cloning!

Holy crap! Is that Aqua Man?

It's Atrios.

If pop culture has taught me nothing else--and it hasn't--it's that you can identify geopolitical bad guys by their resemblance to evil henchmen from the stupider Roger Moore-vintage Bond movies. Why the left can't understand this simple principle, I'll never know.

utron, what does that say about Cheney?

uh-oh ...

utron, what does that say about Cheney?

It depends. Imagine him with a 3 foot high clone of himself. Would he rap to Will Smith?

If so, I've got a theory I'm working on, about a 60s spy spoof movies.

Well, Knemon, you'll notice that Cheney lacks the telltale signs: the Mao suit, the cigarette holder. Also, I've never seen Cheney stroking his pussy, and I hope to god I never do.

Anyway, Cheney would be a supervillain. I'm talking henchmen: guys with hooks, or eyepatches, or steel teeth. Stuff like that.

Oh. Henchmen vs. supergenius villains. Got it.

Just to be clear, I think guys with hook-hands should be called "Enforcers."

"Henchmen" to me are the minor evil characters who do little things for the archvillain, like helping him smuggle in nuclear bombs.

Oddjob-- Enforcer

Various Chinese Scientists -- henchmen

What about the anonymous, interchangeable legions of dudes with horrible aim?

Fodder?

yeah, fodder, minions.

Stormtroopers... cool name, cool outfits, but they have guns that can't hit anything and armor that never ONCE deflected a shot fired at them.

Although I'm told it's pretty effective against clubs and sharpened sticks.

You can also divide them up by script allocation:

Fodder=1 scene, in 1 setting.
Henchmen=multiple scenes, 1 setting.
Enforcers=multiple scenes, multiple settings.

Where do the goon squads from the Adam West "Batman" series fit into this?

The ones with the black T-shirts and their nicknames printed in white?

How can that be AQUAMAN he is clean shaven wears a neat swim outfit and he dont have a hook it must be CAPT HOOKER

Uh, Ace, loose shit. If you remember, fucking Ewoks were kicking Stormtrooper ass, with clubs and spears.

I understand you're a Star Trek man yourself, as am I, but c'mon!

Forgot to add, sorry spurwing plover, they've updated Aquaman to make him all bad-ass and everything.

Re: the pic of Abu,
Abu may soon be in need of eye patch if he's not careful.

Abu might also want to pray to Allah that he never gets crabs.
