As a former pizza driver, I have a spot in my heart for overcooked pepperoni pizza. Just out of the oven after the 'Ooops!' moment, you have to let it cool some because it's even more molten than a freshly-baked pie normally is; you don't eat the crust, just pull the toppings off with your teeth...

Pravda, perhaps? 'All the news that's fit to print' can be a slippery concept when the powerfully offended are known to hire arsonists

If the position of power is obtained by assassinating all other contenders, either personally or by hiring the most/best assassins, there may be both zero competence & strong incentive not to speak up against the idiot in charge. In a democracy, the ability to raise money & successfully run for...

Sounds like a good circus act or something the Japanese would go for... just need to make the roof a Plexiglass & steel hemisphere, but if you want combat a passenger (in a sidecar?) would be needed, the biker is actively using both hands

Dark blue, all over; then I could dye myself with woad and go Pict.

What cause of death? Sued into oblivion, drowned in red ink, or just abandoned to sounds of crickets?

I'm homeless. I read where I can get Wi-Fi -- City Brew, college library, Master Lube. I spend a lot of time online...

If using a main character feels too much like a straitjacket, consider the 'week after' -- the BBEG has been defeated at his or her lair. What happens to the rest of the minions? Are they regrouping in another city on the other side of the continent, where they were already getting entrenched...

Let's blur the lines a little -- rabbits are sentient, dolphins & gorillas are sapient. Therianthropes are humanoid bipeds with some animalistic traits. I would not want to be a short-lived rabbit at the bottom of the food chain; a lagomorph therianthrope? Maybe, if lifespan & intelligence are...
