neadodsBursting into wild laughter at the first paragraph is a sign that I've really got to pass on the word that this isn't to be missed. So I point you all to the old-school story Tea Time Terror for Time Tots, in which the Doctor writes a children's story.
[S]everal Time Lords have turned to careers in evil simply because plotting fiendish schemes was the only way they knew to relieve the tedium of their Academy lectures.
or better yet:
We are Time Lords, which means just what it says on the tin: we lord it over the Time Vortex and any other races presumptuous enough to aspire to control of time travel technology.
How very grand, you may be thinking. An infinite playground the size of all time and space, belonging to ourselves alone. Well, that's just the sort of imperialistic nonsense one expects from children, and is acceptable to a point when the territory at stake is no larger than the sandbox you're meant to be sharing with the Time Tot next door. But it isn't nice when you're all grown up and wearing a fancy headdress, so STOP IT NOW.
Or I'll stop you later.
