I have one!  Evil is the most terriblest thing you can think of that you would like to do the exact opposite of all the time, what with you being good.

In the Colman example we can see (get your bong ready) the necessary connection between our concepts of good and evil:

Evil - being interested only in achieving your own aims regardless of their effect on others (with a side order of enjoying hurting others)

As exemplified by Colman's casual

Bollocks

intro, which he typed either regardless of its effect on others (specifically melo), or maybe he typed it with a side order of enjoying hurting others (specifically melo), while intent on "being interested only in achieving [his] aims", which were either to justify his use of "sanely evil" (hope you're puffing hard on that bong!) and/or to poke melo with a pointy stick (back to that enjoyment of hurting others schtick)

All of which leads me to conclude that Colman is Evil.

Your turn!

(Plus I snuck in some oriental philosophy--double bong hit over here, and a glass of beer!)

Hasn't that been established before? I thought it was an article of faith around here.

haha, when evil is funny, does it become good?

i think good people can occasionally enjoy acting evil, without doing damage.

'bollocks' is an adorable greeting, is it common in ireland? a sort of friendly kick in the nuts?

never had the privilege of visiting the emerald isle yet.

the colman grump factor is truly one of my favourite things about this blog... you can feel the atlantic gale winds howling and keening in over the sodden heather, aaah, bracing!

Huh?

From your comments I'd have pegged you more like this:

though more combed, of course.

If you want a serious point, I don't think you would have taken that tone with, say, InWales or Jerome--you might have said, "If you don't mind my saying so, I find that to be a bit....bollocks"--the famous Colman humour.

But if you wish to consider yourself unfairly maligned--if your humour bypass is switched ON today--feel free!
