    1. A large screen TV with a camera to make you demands on.
    2. A planned community for your workers to live in.
    3. A health plan for you AND your life partner.
    4. Tom Landry’s Hat.
    5. The Dallas Cowboys, NOT the Denver Broncos.

    Everybody know the evil twin has a goatee.

    A super snazzy get-away vehicle.

    Oh, and a beautiful woman with “huge tracks of land” and a skin tight body suit.

    Astroglide.
    Yeah, I went there.

    Red Shirts.
    And my all time favourite – CHOCOLATE!

    a. I love all the comments.
    2. One would totally need a bitchin’ car. Perhaps, a BATMOBILE!?

    Have you seen the picture at the top? From the Wheaton perspective the mirror universe twin must be clean-shaven. I leave it up the to reader to figure out which is the “evil-twin.” 😉
    Hey new Big Bang Theory title: The Wheaton Perspective.

  14. James Keesey says:
    14 March, 2012 at 9:43 am

    A computer with a sardonic wit…and an attitude.

  15. Ken Jacks says:
    14 March, 2012 at 9:54 am

    No no no. Never have a partner in crime. They’ll become a liability. Always commit your crimes alone. Trust me on this (or maybe not, given my knowledge of crime committing). 🙂

  16. MarkSchneider says:
    14 March, 2012 at 9:59 am

    I still argue that a goatee is the sign of an evil twin. Clean shaven or with a full beard is good.

    How do you collate a burrito?

    * A witty retort
    * A go-to song for karaoke
    * An embarrassing childhood nickname (such as Moon Pie)
    * A pet to demand attention when you’ve spent too much time at the computer

    In ST:TOS episode “Mirror, Mirror” the only non-evil person in the mirror universe was Spock–the only guy with the goatee. Just sayin.

  20. MarkSchneider says:
    14 March, 2012 at 10:21 am

    OK, Parallel universe clean shaven Wil, however an evil twin in the same universe has to have a goatee…
    Good Grief, I feel like I am channeling the comic book guy.

  21. MarkSchneider says:
    14 March, 2012 at 10:22 am

    Very carefully. 🙂

    Cool Sunglasses….

  24. James Keesey says:

    And that’s bad why? 😉

  25. James Keesey says:
    14 March, 2012 at 10:38 am

    Maybe that should read “someone to blame…”

  26. MarkSchneider says:

    Your right, it is good to talk geek with other geeks.

    1. Crush your enemies
    2. See the driven before you
    3. Hear the lamentations of their women.

  28. Christy Fowler says:

    Your choice of…
    A: White Turkish Angora (keeps focus of one’s face)
    B: Shark (for disposing of bad employees/double 0 agents)
    C: Half Pony – Half Monkey Monster (for pleasing potential love interests)

    Good point about the added benefit of having a backdrop for PSAs. I thought of mentioning an ascot, but it was mentioned above so I let it go. I guess a smoking jacket needs to be added, and a pipe (or a bubble pipe for non-smokers – that would actually be funny in Wil’s Shut The &#%$ Up theater service announcement: take a sip of brandy, pick up a nice pipe, and blow bubbles).

  30. Amanda Rosenberger says:
    14 March, 2012 at 12:14 pm

    A foil. A romantic love interest. Often in the same package.
    And… apparently, Twine!!

  31. 58limited says:
    14 March, 2012 at 12:15 pm

    How about sharks with freakin lasers on their freakin heads?

  32. 58limited says:
    14 March, 2012 at 12:17 pm

    Don’t forget the hammocks.

  33. 58limited says:
    14 March, 2012 at 12:22 pm

    An unnecessarily slow and complicated way to get rid of your nemesis.

  34. MarkSchneider says:
    14 March, 2012 at 12:28 pm

    +1 on the smoking jacket
    +1 on the bubble pipe
    +100 on the “Shut the &#%$ up” message in the theater.
    It would be AWESOME to have that play at a theater, some idiot start jabbering, and it just so happens Wil is there, he walks down to them and says “You were warned buddy, comeon, lets go” and escorts them out to wild applause.

  35. MarkSchneider says:
    14 March, 2012 at 12:31 pm

    Hammocks? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn’t I think of that? Hammocks!
    🙂

    You can get them at The Hammock Hut, Hammocks R Us, Put Your Butt There, and Swing Low Sweet Chariot – you know, down in the Hammock District.
    But the best place is Mary Ann’s Hammocks.

  38. 58limited says:
    14 March, 2012 at 1:39 pm

    Oh yeah, every one should have a Doomsday device.

  39. Christy Fowler says:
    14 March, 2012 at 2:14 pm

    Unacceptable – Laser death is too quick. One needs time to taunt the victim over loudspeakers while the shark slowly closes in.

  40. MarkSchneider says:
    14 March, 2012 at 2:46 pm

    You know who invented the hammock, 58limited?

  41. 58limited says:
    14 March, 2012 at 4:08 pm

    No, that is something for you to do: find that out. Oh, and on your way out, if you want to kill somebody it would help me out a lot.

  42. Mark Wasdfasdsa says:

    Close, not theme music, but a theme song, which should be played every time you enter a room.

    There are some things you may want, but in the event you can’t have that, there are certain alternatives you may be entitled to.** Such as…
    a heated kidney shaped pool,
    a microwave oven–don’t watch the food cook,
    a Dyna-Gym–I’ll personally demonstrate it in the privacy of your own home,
    a king-size Titanic unsinkable Molly Brown waterbed with polybendum,
    a foolproof plan and an airtight alibi,
    real simulated Indian jewelry,
    a Gucci shoetree,
    a year’s supply of antibiotics,
    a personally autographed picture of Randy Mantooth
    and Bob Dylan’s new unlisted phone number,
    a beautifully restored 3rd Reich swizzle stick,
    Rosemary’s baby,
    a dream date in kneepads with Paul Williams,
    a new Matador, a new mastodon,
    a Maverick, a Mustang, a Montego,
    a Merc Montclair, a Mark IV, a meteor,
    a Mercedes, an MG, or a Malibu,
    a Mort Moriarty, a Maserati, a Mac truck,
    a Mazda, a new Monza, or a moped,
    a Winnebago–Hell, a herd of Winnebago’s we’re giving ’em away,
    or how about a McCulloch chainsaw,
    a Las Vegas wedding,
    a Mexican divorce,
    a solid gold Kama Sutra coffee pot,
    or a baby’s arm holding an apple
    **if you are an American citizen

  44. Doug Warren says:

    A dog in the fight, or an ace in the hole.

    Skills. Nunchuck skills, bo hunting skills, computer hacking skills…

  46. Ghislord says:

    An evil laugh and charming grin

  47. Jeff Bonin says:

    A kick-ass haircut.

  48. ang says:

    A sack of rocks, tied to a length of rope. For throwing down a dark hallway, to ensure there are no traps.

    Everyone should have a…
    sense of humor
    secret treasure
    hidden talent
    dark secret(As well as a knowledge of someone ELSE’S dark secret!)
    signature color
    dish they can cook with their eyes closed
    cloaking device
    pair of comfortable shoes
    mission or purpose

from the vault: the autumn moon lights my way

I wrote A LOT about my sons, and our relationship, during this five year mission. It's rewarding and special to look back at those posts, now, knowing everything I know.

WIL WHEATON dot NET is open for business

After a long Exile, I returned home this weekend. Until the heat death of the universe or I stop blogging (whichever comes first), I'll be back at WWdN.

This is the second to last post I made at WWdN:in Exile. I’m copying it here for completion’s sake. In 2001, blogs were very new things. In fact, as much more time was […]

Treat her like a lady, and she’ll always bring you home.

This weekend, after way, way too many years in exile, I’m finally returning home. Wow. Typing that made me feel all the feels. I wasn't expecting that.
