Minions #227 - Vacations of the Rich and Famous



Stand by, following the usual double-dealing for a bitter betrayal by your Minion Master! Your interminable wait is important to us.

To serve you better, a supervisor may feed the representative assigned to serve you to the pool piranha just before they can answer your call. It's just one more way of saying, "we care, just not about you."

SUPPORT THE FORCES OF EVIL, WITHOUT WHOM YOU'D HAVE TO LIVE IN SOME BORING UTOPIA OR SOMETHING! HELP FINANCE "MINIONS AT WORK" BY BUYING STUFF YOU WERE GOING TO BUY ANYWAY! IT'S LIKE STEALING, ONLY LEGAL!

We're now Amazon.com affiliates, which means that if you click on the Amazon link in our sidebar and make purchases from Amazon, a tiny little sliver of what you spend goes to support these fine (maybe even near-mint!) cartoons!

 Or visit our Amazon Lair Gift Shop for Minions-recommended merchandise featuring villainy from across pop-culture! Minions at work is inadequately supported during this financial crisis by your purchases from our web stores and our advertisers. Feed the economy and help us bleed green just a little more slowly by purchasing tee-shirts, buttons, calendars, hats, undies (we kid not!), and other fine Minions at Work items at one of the following stores.

 While waiting for your impending doom, pick up a Minions at Work tee-shirt or other great souvenir of your visit to the Lair: THE MINION'S LAIR OF MERCHANDISE "Satisfaction guaranteed or we'll make make you buy something else!" and NUMBER TWO'S HOUSE OF NAUGHTY (For very small values of naughty.) Or just click on our "Donate" button and send us cash add to our "Buy the Minions a Camera Fund!" 100% of your contribution goes to allow starving orphans to buy blankets for kittens.

Eventually I'm getting No. 1 his own account for Minions-related-business, but one thing at a time. Still: We're everywhere! We're everywhere!

Greetings, Weekenders and Summer People!


Yeah, one rental car, one-missed-TV show, one graduation, many hundreds of road miles, one traffic-accident, and one penthouse suite later, we're home.  Unfortunately, seems like at least one minion went AWOL while we were gone, and of course, you know who it had to be: that rascal Number Two!

 Okay, it's a rare day I get to take the Minions outdoors for shooting the Minions, and this was a first: Minions and water.  Fun!

Running late, so I'll cut it short.  See you next week!

            - Minion Master Steve

Greetings, Pitfalls and Bottom-feeders!


We're in California at the moment, enjoying the sun and plotting our evil plans.  This afternoon we have tickets to see a taping of "The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson," on CBS.  As a fellow-practitioner of the hollow-volcano business, we're going to be studying his robot skeleton sidekick for evil technologies that we can steal -- uh -- homage!


Anyway, off to Hollywood (America's "Axis of Evil") and we'll see you back here next week.

Greetings, Endangered Species!


We're off to California via Reno this week, but don't worry, I've got enough Minions at Work lined up to last until we get back.  Our posting and reminders, however, may be off schedule depending on where we are, how busy we are, and our access to wi-fi.

Gonna keep it short.  Lots to do.  We'll see you back here next week, more-or-less.

                                                                                               - Minion Master in abscentia,  Steve

Greetings, Vision-restrictive head-cases!


I keep thinking things are going to slack off here at the lair so I can get some inventory in place, but it just hasn't happened.  In fact, I was scrambling just to get a cartoon for this week.  Next week is our road-trip to Nevada and California, so I'd BETTER have something in place by then.  I've very rarely ever missed a week in our four years (!) of doing this, and I'd hate to start now.

Thanks to those who have made donations, bought things from our stores, and clicked through our Amazon links to do your shopping!  Unfortunately, I don't have things set up so I can always tell WHICH of our multiple sites the clicks and donations are coming through (I know, I should fix that), but they ARE appreciated, wherever they're coming from!  They encourage us to keep this crazy thing going, despite all the grief it is some weeks!

See you guys next time (which should be just before out trip starts).

- Steve
